Before reading this, did you know that Conor McGregor supports Trump?

[Dr. MB]

Somehow only found this out tonight. I can't say I'm shocked though.

[DaleCooper]

"No easy feet."

[Alben Barkley]

Clearly he suffered extreme brain damage after getting the crap kicked out of him by Floyd Mayweather.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

No, but I also know basically nothing else about him.

[Pro-Israel, anti-Bibi]

"Early stages of term also"

CTE is real folks. Also isn't this the guy who punched a random old dude for not drinking his whiskey?

[Rand]

No easy feet, indeed. It would be Trump’s honer to invite Conor McGregor to the White House for a cup of Irish Covfefe.

[Inmate Trump]

I don’t even know who he is.

[BlueSwan]

Macho idiot with no political insight? Not really surprising. This is Trumps core demographic.

[Eraserhead]

I did although I think that's basically the only post or comment he's ever made about him publicly.

[dead0man]

I don’t even know who he is.

Irish
cage fighter (one of the best a few years ago)
had "issues" with a Muslim cage fighter
likes to talk sh**t


Maybe there is more there if you scratch the surface, but maybe not.

A few years ago he was actually quite critical of Trump on several occasions. CTE at work.

[DINGO Joe]

"No easy feet."

Well no, not with the bone spurs and all

[ON Progressive]

I wasn’t aware, but I am not surprised in the slightest.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I'm as shocked as seeing multiple folks on this board not knowing who Conor McGregor is.

I'd be more intrigued in knowing who Daniel Cormier supports

[Former Crackhead Mike Lindell]

I remember the MAGAs supported Mayweather, I wonder what changed

[Indy Texas]

Aren't most (white) MMA fighters and fans Republican?

Even many of the Brazilian ones are supportive of Bolsonaro.

[Ferguson97]

I wasn’t aware, but I am not surprised in the slightest.

[beaver2.0]

I wasn’t aware, but I am not surprised in the slightest.

True.

Most white athletes/cops/etc

I think Democrats would gain a lot of from trying to find white athletes (especially baseball players and NFL QBs) to support the party.

Professional sports is a unionized entertainment industry - by all logic they should be Democrats.

The vast majority of athletes are Democrats from memory the obvious ones of course, Lebron, Kerr, Popovich, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Joe Burrow has been expousing some pretty progressive views on twitter lately as well.

Lol those are all NBA players except Burrow. They tend to be more Democratic leaning, but other sports tend to be mostly Republican, which is unsurprising with the high amount of military and corporate affiliations for sponsorships. Off the top of my head, Peyton Manning, Curt Schilling, Kraft/Bellichick, Brett Favre, Herschel Walker, John Rocker of course, Jeremy Roenick, pretty much all PGA/NASCAR (I think I read that David Duval was the only registered Democrat on the entire Tour one year).
I think these days BLM has opened a lot of eyes, though. My team's quarterback, Carson Wentz, has issued some very thoughtful statements in support of his black teammates, and he's a good old boy from North Dakota who hunts. More cultural exposure and cohesiveness is hopefully changing things for the better.

Hence I specifically said baseball and football players.

Professional basketball has little purchase among white voters nowadays.

Got to like this gentleman.
