The league with the most Republican support is Major League Baseball, with 53.7% of players backing Trump's party from a sample of 434. It's also the league where the most players have been open in their support of Trump. Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Harrison Butker has repeatedly endorsed the President, as has his teammate James Winchester. Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones also went out of his way to shake Trump's hand before the Super Bowl last February in New Orleans, too. Harris won about 60% of the vote with black women at the polls and the majority of WNBA players are black.
