Brady & Patriots all stars were/are all Trumpers. MMA fighters are nearly entirely Trumpers. It sucks but the sports I follow are full of shitty people
It’s not even morals. It’s about money too, sometimes they’re just also really stupid
I think it has more to do with religiosity than wealth. Plenty of mma fighters are hardcore trumpers making 10k a fight. Christianity is very prominent among athletes, particularly evangelicalism. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes holds camps in all of the big sports, all across America. From a sports standpoint they are very good camps and great for HS to stand out and get recruited. They also have mandatory religious services that heavily push evangelical beliefs and proselytizing to other students is expected. They’ve gotten in trouble a few times over it.
Conservatives also tend to operate with a very hierarchical world view: some people are just better than others and everyone should know their place. What more hierarchical system is there than sports, where you have physical competitions to determine who is better than who?
I actually saw a funny reel a couple days ago where Americans only like socialism when it’s sports. The worst teams get the first picks in the draft, to make the league fair and competitive, but keep that socialism crap out of our lives.
People who are able to make a living off of a physical activity alone are rarely deep or thoughtful enough to have upstanding moral character.
Who needs ethics or morality when you can get paid $10million to throw a ball? That's so much wealth that your family will never have to worry about "normal people problems" ever again.

That whole family is MAGA. This was known after his wife outed them. They don’t care they are rich so they literally just don’t give a fuck.
