No surprise here, however they are what you would call "Rockefeller Republicans" or as some would say "Liberal Republicans". That includes 3 of the 4 Major Sports Leagues Commissioners.

This is why the polls are inaccurate, regardless of their real beliefs, people bow to political correctness either to avoid conflict, or to avoid losing business. The vote is still private, but campaign contributions are not, so this kind of hypocrisy is revealed.

They pay them a salary, they don’t get to vote for whoever the players want.
Black athletes are not exactly known for their financial wizardry. Vote for Democrats and they’ll tax you at 70% and you’ll end up broke quicker than normal.

The NBA is the surprising one. They all got together at Disney World in Orlando and were like 'Yeah, you can paint Black Lives Matter'. While turning around and handing money to people calling it a terrorist organization.


The best part? The Orlando Magic owner gives the most to Republicans. Who is the Owner? Dan DeVos. Yes, those DeVos. The Billionaire class is profiting off the right and left.
