Miami, still the worst fans in the country.

There are major partisan and racial divides when it comes to the attitude of Floridians toward the Heat and their playoff run. Overall 36% of voters in the state say they're rooting for the Heat while 28% say they are not, and 35% are not sure. Democrats are pulling for the Heat by a 47/23 margin, but Republicans say they are not by a 29/34 spread. The contrasts are more stark along racial lines. 75% of African Americans are pulling for the Heat to 10% who are not, but only 29% of whites want them to win while 31% don't.

Racist white GOP members don't want the inner city black kids to succeed.

NE plays in Massachusetts brah. Also, Mr. Kraft is Democrat contributor. Spurs fans on the other hand....

Bob Craft likes to host Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh to events, so I think that says all we need to know about that franchise.

"Only Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, has heavily favored Democrats and given enough to make the list of top 10 contributors. Of the $33,600 he has contributed since 2009, only $4,800 went to Republicans."

GOAT owner

[archibaldcrane]

Pssh, that's nothing. I know this particular Packers owner has given 100% of his campaign contributions to democrats.

Hey Tyche, if the Heat lose, what will the Heat fans throw at Hondo? Wine boxes? Mojitos?

[Kalmado]

I hate saying it, but Heat will win. I do think OKC will win the Finals though. I really wanted to see the Miami Heat lose before the finals.
