Huffpo is getting the usual morons to make their hot take fb posts about 'typical wrestling fans', which is funny given that like, all the wrestling fans I know are relatively affluent and liberal themselves. Not to mention that all wrestling fans are in on the act and enjoy the poo poo out of it.

They definitely do though, which puts them in good company with most other athletes from most other sports.

It's not surprising at all. Rich people vote republican and rich people are the benefactors of college football. Not in any way surprised that college football skews right.

Its not that anyone disagrees women aren't as strong as men. People are upset by it because a generational talent who is miles above her peers is seen as secondary because men are stronger.

It's like claiming Demetrious Johnson could not be the best fighter ever because a heavyweight could beat him in a fight
