Re: Fandom Venting

someone demanded sociological proof that hockey players are more conservative than other groups? Because that sounds like a similar misrepresentation (misunderstanding?) about the conversation that people don't have to believe that all hockey players are voting for Trump.

Someone literally did demand that, separately from other people raising valid points about why hockey players wouldn't be voting for Trump (not planning to vote, conservative =/= Trumps-supporting -- all valid points). But one person absolutely did argue that they didn't agree that most players would be Trump voters (ok) by mentioning polls of white, college-educated US men not supporting Trump and not being homophobic (absolutely irrelevant to that first opinion in a logically flawed way). When someone mentioned the sociological factors that likely would make the hockey demographic skew more conservatively than the general population, they demanded "sociological proof" to counter their "statistical evidence." You're the one misrepresenting the conversation.
