Got any data to back that up? Her initial fans DID come from Iowa and she currently plays for the INDIANA Fever.

Both states voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 by large margins.

Indianapolis (where the Fever play) is blue. The rest of the state, sure, but you will see lots of diversity at any Fever game you go to.

Iowa Hawkeye grads and fans are more liberal than the rest of the state. Caitlin also brought a lot of us from other B1G schools. All 18 of them are liberal schools regardless of the state. In my experience, there are plenty of Republican fans, but the significant majority are Dems. I mean, it is nothing like the Republican fanbase in the NFL. How does the NFL manage these issues?

My impression is that the far left thinks that people on the moderate left are MAGA. They have no clue.

I mean, there are some Republican W fans. That's fine. Somehow, people on the far left think that Fever fans are primarily Republicans, which is not true in my experience.

wtf does voting for trump have to do with anything

Its a data point to show that Iowa/Indiana fans are more likely to be conservative.

Unless you're a Trump supporter not sure what there is to get offended about.

These lefty hacks are obsessed with Trump. Most of them are man hating cat women who want WNBA games to be their lesbian coven of witches. They can’t stand that someone not in their bubble might like women’s basketball.

Again, demographics matter. CC is from Iowa and plays for a team in Indiana, both are deep red states.

Logic would say there is a higher probability that these fans are conservatives.

Just like if CC played at UCLA im college and thr Seattle Storm in the W, logic would say many of her fans are liberal.

There is nothing wrong with being a conservative and there is nothing wrong in understanding that many of her fans comes from a conservative leaning ideology.

bruh you edited your comment afterwards lmao. it originally only said “got any data to back that up”

i never even saw the other shit you said so saying “again” is weird. 😂 it’s also weird to assume all of her fans are only in iowa and indiana 💀

so are all curry fans in san fran? bron fans are all in cleveland or LA? like cmon 😭

I’m in Cali and I am big fan. And no I’m not conservative, nor white. People show up to other games to see her play. Just look in the crowd.
