(i know she was a very involved hockey mom, but what about the other kids?) in any case, neither track nor basketball really appeal to her demographic. and, gee, wonder why?Jennifer Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004554513454749517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-82303264693787615512008-09-26T07:59:00.000-07:002008-09-26T07:59:00.000-07:00She calls herself a "hockey mom" because her kids ...She calls herself a "hockey mom" because her kids play hockey not soccer.

The 'soccer mom' demographic actually exists in huge numbers, suburban mothers, and is trending increasingly Democratic. Sexy violent imagery (lipstick, pitbulls) is an appeal to the male demographics. There aren't enough children playing hockey in the US to make difference in electoral poltics but there are enough young males who like sex and wrestling.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't read too much into GOP marketing as a slam against soccer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-1259983507154765732008-09-06T09:25:00.000-07:002008-09-06T09:25:00.000-07:00Well, for those that think of football as a "wussy...Well, for those that think of football as a "wussy sport" here is a funny joke that you can find on t-shirts: "No blood, no foul!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
