Art Modell once joked that NFL owners were Republicans who acted like socialists. Yet conservative talk-show host Chris Stigall insists that liberals can’t be true football fans.

Dissecting the most recent Chiefs’ debacle with play-by-play man Mitch Holthus on KCMO 710-AM, Stigall described spending the weekend in Chicago. Being around so many Bears fans and so many Democrats put Stigall’s little brain in motion. He came up with this shiny theory:

“If you’re a sports fan, particularly an NFL football fan, you cannot be liberal and look at the model that is the NFL and be a liberal. It doesn’t work.”
