Last week, I went over who some of the most powerful Republican leaders would root for in college football. When you think of Republicans and the people who vote for them, it feels like more of a college football crowd. The democrats, not so much. But they have to keep up the appearance that they’re “common folk” like every politician does. Here are who I think members of the democratic party would root for in college football.
Joe Biden
Joe grew up in Scranton, PA and got his bachelor’s degree from Delaware. He later became a senator in Delaware so I think he’s rooting for the FCS Blue Hens. There is one issue in his fandom though. Biden still thinks it’s 2006 and that Flacco is running the show. His deteriorating mental state has kept his Blue Hens fandom in the mid 2000’s. He’ll probably shout the team out when he’s at a rally and completely bungle it, but what’s new.
Kamala Harris
I can’t lie, this was a very tough one to determine because Harris is a perplexing politician. After hours of research, I determined that Harris is a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan. The reason I came to this conclusion is due to how she was appointed to California’s Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later the California Medical Assistance Commission. She played her cards just right, utilizing both her stat-stacked resume and relationships to work her way up the ladder, even forming a close relationship with the Speaker of the California Assembly. While Harris probably worked very hard as a prosecutor, I truly believe its all about who you know in this world.
Want to hear something I don’t believe? I don’t believe that Scott Frost would have been hired by Nebraska had he not played there. While Frost had success at UCF, I think he got lucky with a stacked roster and an easy schedule. Scott felt under qualified for the Nebraska job, let alone any Power 5 job, but was coveted after one year. Harris roots for the Huskers because she admires how Scott followed her lead and used past relationships to land a high powered job.
Elizabeth Warren
The bright political mind Steve Robinson once characterized Liz Warren and her supporters as “crazy cat people”; and he couldn’t have been more right. If you’ve ever seen Warren speak, she looks crazed. Her eyes pop and it’s almost as if she’s talking down to you through the screen. I feel like she’ll gravitate to a college team based off their mascot. That’s why I think she’s a Kentucky fan. Liz loves the Wildcats. I also think outside of the mascot, she loves Kentucky due to Will Levis. Not his play, but his coffee drinking habits.
Liz seems psychotic enough to pull something like this in the morning while she’s surrounded by her 12 felines. Just an absolute whack job. There is one issue though. As of last season, only fans in suites are able to drink alcohol. This means that Liz will have to splurge and buy box tickets so she can enjoy a beer with her sweetie.
Nancy Pelosi
The botox queen herself. Nancy Pelosi is kind of a wildcard. She has no regard for the law and she plays by her own rules. Now that’s great in a cowboy or a hitman, but not in a politician. While Pelosi lives in San Francisco, she’s looking south and rooting for USC. Why, you may ask? Well, USC has had their fair share of violations the past two decades and Pelosi likes that. Over Covid-19, she pushed for businesses to shut down for everyones safety, but was caught getting a haircut in a private salon weeks later. She’s also attempted to cover up her husbands recent DUI. In the mid 2000’s, USC was slapped with a multitude of violations and has since hindered the programs success.
I don’t think Pelosi is just a fan of the Trojans, I think she’ll be a booster. She’s done a decent job hiding her own scandals, so she’ll help funnel money to recruits and cover it up with ease. The Pelosi-Riley duo in Los Angeles on the recruiting trail could be lethal.
Corey Booker
While Corey Booker was a loser candidate for the 2020 nomination, he did intrigue me with his imaginary drug dealer friend “T-Bone”. T-Bone is a “person” that Booker has been speaking about since 2000, claiming he’s a drug dealer he met in Newark. Well, T-Bone has never materialized. Do you know who else never really materialized? Manti Te’os girlfriend. Booker’s got to be a Notre Dame fan. The thing is, Booker doesn’t realize that Te’o was duped into thinking he had a girlfriend. He thinks that Te’o made up that he had a girlfriend and admires the fact that Te’o received national attention for his story.
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders is an interesting political figure. He’s a complete and utter socialist with one of the most rabid, yet smallest fan bases. Keeping that in mind, I don’t see Bernie rooting for a college football powerhouse like Alabama or Ohio State. He’s cheering for the little guy in the northeast, the University of New Hampshire. With Vermont not having a D1 team, he looks east and picks the Wildcats. I could see him being at some games even when the weather turns because he knows how to bundle up. He’ll slap his mittens on and lock in for 60 minutes.
