The Wall Street Journal explores the fact that nearly all football coaches are fine, upstanding, honorable conservatives, politically; with a glaring lack among their ranks of limpwristed, socialist, Obama-loving liberal weenies. In other words, Democrats make crappy coaches. Is it true of other team sports, which are all obviously more about playing war than community building? Or is this interesting only to me?

Politics in sports
Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Re: Politics in sports
Coaches tend to be those "make your own fate" types and as a result tend to hold conservative beliefs... I'm sure this thread will go nuclear and will have 50 posts by late afternoon but you just have to look at those types of attitudes.BS UML '04, PhD UConn '09

My view, after 10 minutes of consideration is that personality-wise conservatives make better coaches because they tend to feel more sure they are right, and are less likely to put up with dissent from their charges, and success in team sports relies on such dictatorship.

Originally posted by geezer View PostWell, I'm sure there's a white colored coach that wanted Lovie's job that didn't get it, but I won't make that charge. I think it's stupid.

I've met a ****-ton of liberals who are so sure they are right it's unbelievable. They also refuse to put up with any differing opinions and act like dictators.
You honestly think it has to do with political affiliation? Give me a break. Liberals are a-holes just like conservatives, ego driven, refusing to concede power and acting like tyrants.
