What an absolutely ridiculous statement, and completely without evidence.

In that case can you provide some counter evidence? The statistics do show men are more right leaning than women if you look at polls of who people plan to vote for, and men are more likely to be football fans. But please, if my statement is so ridiculous can you provide some evidence as to why?

No you made the statement, so let's see your evidence first. But for a start if men are more right leaning then the Tories have more or less half the votes wrapped up at the GE right? Hmmm, I can see the first problem here. Then of course you also have to take into consideration that increasing numbers of women go to football, so if they are more likely to be left leaning then your statement falls apart a little more.
But the biggest problem with your statement is that it is simply not true. I've been to thousands of games over the decades, and I can assure you that all flavours of political leanings are represented. Of course there's no written evidence of this, because nobody cares enough to ask the question. Football is a sport enjoyed by people of all walks of life, unless of course you simply prescribe to the dated media driven stereotypical drivel. Then all football fans are far right, white male aged 15-55 skinheads...

I can go on what I see and some of the racist nonsense I see on social media. You talk about the Tories, but many football fans will vote for Reform sadly.No you made the statement, so let's see your evidence first.
