Normally a guy who plays it close to the vest and shuns controversy like the plague, Jeter blasts out his presidential choice. This Yankee fan feels confused, as a hero becomes just another dumb athlete.

Sigh I loved Jeter he never really stated his politics but this doesn’t surprise me.

I’m devastated by this news. Or, maybe not.

Sounds like Jeter’s been hanging with the Holly-weird crowd too much lately. He really needs to stick to what he knows best, playing ball.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that Jeter is liberal. Jeter is notorious for being a professional womanizer.

I don’t see the nexus. I was a womanizer before I got married. What exactly is the alternative?

Jeter is a great ball player.
And he should stick to that.
The same as Obama should stick to politics and not basket ball

I’m just saying he takes a very liberal attitude towards sex, so I’m not surpised he carries a liberal attitude towards other issues.

Both biracial.

Race over logic.

Rich guys who hate the system who made them wealthy.

You can’t fight suicidal.

Noooooooooo!

I still love Jeter, but I can't help think that it's a racial thing because they're both half white/half black. But Jeter's father is a doctor, isn't he? How can he be for Obamacare? Yuck! Also, Jeter once made a comment that he didn't make his All-league team in HS once but did make All-state that same year. He implied it was a racial thing. But he always said he really looked up to Joe Torre and George Steinbrenner, who vote Republican, well Steinbrenner did when he was alive, would only still be voting if he was a Democrat. Sure he wasn't being sarcastic?
