Wrestling Thread 3: Dan vs. Cam • Page 502

So I looked at the authors archive...he's got another (almost identical) article from December on the WWE, and another on GLOW. And more articles about Tim Tebow in the year 2017 than wrestling articles combined.

Breitbart is so weird...

 

That's one of the more surprising things I've seen in a while. Some of those things feel way off base.

 

It's from business insider so it's as right leaning as it could really be

 

I'm not comfortable with any child who is reading WWE's PR twitter feed.

 

the LPGA skews republican?

 

I edited my post, purely so this thread doesn't become politics 2.0

 

Here's the article
Your Politics Are Indicative Of Which Sports You Like

 

I don't think it was going to turn into that. lol. Folks in here just care about wrasslin. And 2pawz.

 

right i googled it but the source material that the BI article links to no longer is up, I'd like to read the methodology, especially since the Excel Chart looks like it was made in Excel 2003 haha

 

I agree, I looked and it was gone. I'm guessing those people don't work there anymore and took their info with them to their next job, probably a stats and analytics firm or something. If you come across it by any chance, you should definitely post it.

 

Golf in general, yeah...and LGPA obviously skews less. Big part of that is urban/suburban divide.

The chart, based on an analysis of over 200,000 interviews conducted by Scarborough Research

That said, its not any clearer on its methods. Though its the same firm as Nielsen

 

it makes sense to me that WWE is skewing more liberal as it continues to become accepted as a performance art instead of trashed for not being a sport. the tasteful presentation of Dream's character and treating Deville's sexuality as a non-story are signs of a big change in how marginalized groups are going to be represented going forward.

 

I see a couple of other articles that say kind of the same thing but they're from even earlier than 2013. They all kind of say similar things, they lean left but hardly vote. One day someone will put out a legit poll and we'll find out.

 

I have a real hard time believing that chart is even close to being accurate.

 

i'm sure it's accurate to the sample size, but 200,000 is a blip on the radar for the billions of fans that make up all of those sports. be curious to see the reach of those questioned, like was it regional or did they get them from all over or what

 

Remember that awful, cringey triple h vs Booker t feud for the heavyweight title in the early 2000s? Oof that was bad.

Also I watched cena vs Booker for the us title the other night and cena was so sooooo bad early on.

 

Right, golf in general I'm not surprised about, the LPGA specifically I would think would lean far more towards the center or liberal.

But, I don't need to use the wayback machine because i knew if I complained someone would do it for me, so thank you.

 

it's a perfect comparison to what we were just talking about honestly, a heel champion going over a PoC clean after being blatantly racist in his character would never, ever happen today

 

Just because it's women's golf? Do you forget who voted with like 60% to the right last cycle? I feel like thats probably their main fan base but I honestly never met a person irl who likes golf so I may be totally off, and the only person I've met who plays golf is my former Vice principal.

 

I think the night he lost that ppv is the last time I watched until my bandmates got me back into it during the big cm punk days. That promo literally got me back into wrestling.

 

Fuck 2pawz

 

certainly wasn't a bad time to head for the door haha

 

I could totally see that though, golf is an expensive sport. Country club member yuppie type of thing.

 

Fuck 2 pawz and bones
