Major League Baseball and major corporations across the country are having trouble reading the room, according to the findings of a new national poll commissioned by The Daily Wire which shows “woke politics” could hurt the league’s bottom-line and that of pandering corporations.
For years, many in the media have argued that the increasing politicization of sports isn’t impacting viewership. Those who have expressed their distaste for teams and players getting involved in politics have been laughed out of the room, told their viewership will not be missed. They are looked at as being in the very small minority. A mere blip on the screen.
The results of The Daily Wire’s poll show this line of thinking to be a swing and a miss.
With Major League Baseball’s decision to move their annual All-Star Game away from Atlanta due to “voter suppression,” The Daily Wire wanted to gauge the pulse of the nation as it relates to the infusion of politics into sports and hired SurveyMonkey to interview 1,026 Americans over 18 in a representative sample that is 31% Republican, 34% Democrat and 35% Independent. To be clear, this is a random sample of Americans, not of Daily Wire members.
The findings are fascinating.
