almost all practical skill and utilitarian hobbies are overrun by conservatives nowadays, but escapism adds a whole other dimension. geek escapist hobbies are probably something like 90% liberal, 9% libertarian, <1% conservative, but other escapist hobbies like sports and concerts and media are all over the place.
Sports seems to be leaning hard left, at least in the 40 and under demographics.
I've stopped frequenting a lot of my previous sports haunts because there is so much rabid antivaxx hate against players, blind MeToo support, BLM BS, etc.
There's a difference between spectator sports and participation sports. Anything that's consumed from the couch is trending overwhelmingly leftist/NPC, while anything that requires active participation and mental engagement is, for obvious reasons, going the other way.
Excellent point.
Though I would imagine the obsession with vaxx passes for gyms, indoor sports facilities and adult and children's sports leagues (in Canada at least) will begin to select for leftie zealots in participation sports as well.
They had a sign up for months at my gym that masks were required, and VERY few people wore them. That's not really sports, though -- unless you're playing basketball, or squash, or you're really into weightlifting. Ok it's not sports for me.
talking about the actual attendees and players, not the media casting it
