Redskins Lockerroom Politics... from Politico

[sbark]

BUZZ: WashPost 'D.C. Sports Bog' blogger Dan Steinberg quotes several Washington Redskins players as saying the locker room is split half and half between John McCain and Barack Obama, with cornerback Fred Smoot disclosing: 'We have a lot of black Republicans in here.' Defensive tackle Lorenzo Alexander, an independent supporting Obama, reports: 'We make a lot of money playing this game, but I think it's bigger than who's giving the biggest tax breaks. I mean, that's probably the main issue we're kind of arguing about: McCain or Obama, Republican or Democrat.'

probably bout' the same split in the Boys' Locker room i'd presume....

No suprise here.

Especially given the fact that alot of lockerooms are filled with a mix of people from very different backgrounds.

Oh and that Fred Smoot quote is funny, I know someone that knows him and that is definately something he would say LOL.

The taxing issues are probably going to be the biggest ones in a lockerroom filled with people who make millions per year. No surprise that there's a divide along those lines rather than racial lines.
