Anyone currently following the World Cup, Wimbledon, or any of the many sporting events around the world will know the emotional highs and lows that they can produce. But these events wield even more power than we think. According to Andrew Healy from Loyola Marymount University, sports results can even swing the outcome of an election.

Home teams voters will be disappointed, angry, upset for a while and this pushes them to vote against the status quo in elections.

I thought there was some dippy theory out there that if the blue team wins (represented by the Cubs here), then the Democrat wins.
Don’t like the Cubs anyway... die-hard STL Cardinals fan.

I think many home team voters will be demoralized and stay home.

If Clinton shows up tomorrow in a Cubs cap, she will lose a lot of votes in crucial Cuyahoga County Ohio! She's just dumb enough to do that too.
Otherwise, this story is just filler.

Only bad thing about Cubs winning it is Obamagabe calling Chicago his “hometown” a hundred times tomorrow.

“I think many home team voters will be demoralized and stay home.”
And Cleveland is mainly Democratic?

“Hometown” my rear end! He wasn’t born here, he didn’t go to school here, he didn’t move here until his late 20’s . Chicago is just a place where he lived. It is NOT his Hometown!
