I'm confused about baseball, basketball, and computers. Also not sure about coffee vs soda.

    I think demographic spillover to some extent. Basketball is seen as more of an African american sport (vs hard racism). Rural areas are also more likely have to have a gas station with a 44-64oz/1-2L fountain drink vs urban coffee shops. Macs are viewed as more artistic and high end

    Well Starbucks has been hardcore screwing over their workers so they are on the shit list.

    I don't know what the people are doing at the top.

    I think the people at the top are supposed to represent the ideal that the side wants. Republican farters want women in dresses and men in suits (likely doing business), where the democrats want, I guess, casual friday? It's accurate for the red dicks, at least.

    I remember reading something about the political divides in US sports fandoms.

    If I recall correctly, the NFL and MLB are both pretty balanced across the political spectrum.

    The NBA has more Democratic fans, which is largely demographic correlation with having more black fans. College football is arguably the quintessential Republican sport. Again, I think that's largely demographics, though, because college football is more popular in areas without NFL teams (more rural areas).
