And it hasn't anything to do with where they were born-Fanatic football fan and dedicated voters are thinking mentally alike.
It's something I have observed throughout the decades.

I don't agree at all. Party affiliation may be handed down in families. In my own family though, we thought and voted how we felt. Considering how contentious some issues could be, we simply chose not to discuss politics at family gatherings.
With sports like football and especially hockey, adrenaline fueled a lot of things. Getting into fights or having issues with opposing players goes hand in hand with Hockey. Fights are the norm. With politics, one should expect a small degree of civility. Most often, that's not the case.
