His Facebook status...

 

voted for mcain but atleast obama isnt a cubs fan.

Good to know he's starting to understand what it means do dislike the Cubs.

 

 

Hopefully he develops into a full fledged Cub hater some day.

I saw that too, it made me chuckle.

He needs to spend more time in Illinois and less in Texas.

Danks is from a pretty liberal part of TX (Austin), I had been wondering if he was a R or a D.

The Danks family is really close to George and Laura Bush. Apparently, John went to Laura’s High School, and since Bush is such a big baseball guy (and used to own the Rangers) he really took to the up and coming pitching prospect. Since then they’ve just exchanged kind words, and signed baseballs, but I always thought that it was kinda cool for the POTUS to be such a big fan of the White Sox ace.

Most MLB guys are Republicans because of their tax bracket.

Nope. That crazy s*** snow and ice is something to be avoided. And Austin as about as perfect a place to be as you will find anywhere.

I am in full agreement with John Danks.

That sentence soon will change to, "I always thought it was kinda cool for the POTUS to be such a big fan of the White Sox". haha

 

His Facebook status...

 

I worked for an African-American NFL football player (wide receiver from UGA who played for the Broncos and Giants from 92-97) and he was VERY much a Republican.

 

Most of them wouldn't admit to not voting for Obama, but I would guess 75% of them vote Republican because the main issue they care about is taxes. Especially this last election, when Obama was very open/honest about taxing those in the $250K and above bracket at a higher rate. It would be interesting to see which players (NFL, NBA, MLB) voted, and for whom.

He's most definitely a republican, but most likely absolutely only based on tax policy. His status before that was "is moving to Mexico".

You worked for Arthur Marshall? That's cool.

Nicest guy I worked with: Herschel Walker (he donated his own time to be a keynote speaker, flew down at his own cost to Augusta....)

 

Worst: Tie, Deion Snaders and Michael Irvin

 

Unexpected: Jose Guillen. He helped lead us (GreenJackets) the 1995 SAL Championship. He was already kind of a legend in the system in his teens because of his arm from RF. He could do everything but run well. He almost got kicked out of the system before he ever made it out of extended spring training and DSL ball. Not a bad guy at all, he wants to win, I got along with him really well because I was able to help him out a little bit and I speak Spanish.

This is a pretty dumb statement.........How do you know? Do you talk to all the players and have thier political opinions? That's like saying all hollywood celebrities are Republicans because of their tax bracket, which obviously isn't true based on them often sharing their opinions publically.

I listened to Obama"s speech after winning the election but I heard that when he becomes president that Whitesox players will not have to pay any income taxes so many players will come to the whitesox sign for less because they won't have to pay income taxes. The whitesox will be known as "America" team" teal

Jim Thome had an Obama/Biden sign in his front yard.

that shocks me. but awesome.

 

i feel like typically baseball players are GOP because so many of them hail from conservative areas. guys like Clemens, Kent, Berkman, Bagwell, Buehrle, etc.

I was kind of suprised, too, until I remembered that Peoria's a big union town and his dad worked for Caterpillar.

The other day his status was "I'm moving to Mexico" so I guess he was pretty against Obama.

Exit polls showed that 52% of the population that made 200K or more voted for Obama. Quite surprising if you ask me.

Ha. That would be sweet.
