I found this cool database, it shows the athletes who have made donations to the candidates campaigns, and the amount they've donated.

amongst hundreds others...

It says McCain has received more campaign contributions from the sports world than Obama, but that's normal...

* NFL teams have contributed the most to McCain
* NBA teams have contributed the most to Obama

Doesn't really mean to much, but it's interesting since this is a sports site...

I get "Undefined AppKey. (Caspio Bridge error) (60011)" when attempting to access the URL you just posted. This URL works:

Dean Smith endorsed Obama.

That's fine, but I'm firmly committed to voting against anyone endorsed by Coach K, lol.

Dean Cane endorses McCain.

Don King's given the max to Obama and McCain.
I think he wants to get them in the boxing ring together...

No love for Barr or Nader?

If anyone can find out who Pac-Man endorses, please let me know.

I, of course, am refering to the Dallas Cowboy, not the anthropomorphic piece of cheese that caused the genocide of the ghost population including Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. Although I would like to know his political affiliation.

There is no one named "Pacman" on the Cowboys, friend.

But there are two guys named Roy Williams on that team.

NBA players speaking out (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/22/AR2008102203607.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR) on the campaign.

Most of the players they talked to were for Obama though they did manage to find at least one outspoken McCain supporter. Notably, Gilbert Arenas declared his intention to not vote at all.

Fortunately, Josh Howard wasn't asked to weigh in.

Not athletes, but this is the best fit anyway. Opie, Andy and the Fonz:

Fonz is definitely an athlete -- saw him jump a shark on water skis once!
