The Center for American Progress to study public attitudes toward sports teamsthat expressed opinions on issues that could be controversial, such as LGBT issues. One research question they were interested in was: "To what degree do people believe that professional sports teams should take public stances on social causes?"
In general, respondents either "somewhat agreed" (33.2 percent) or "strongly agreed" (19.3 percent) that "professional sports teams should utilize their platforms to advocate for causes they believe in." One in three respondents (30 percent) stated they were neutral on this issue or had "no opinion." Among respondents who identiﬁed as men, 46.5 percent either "somewhat agreed" or "strongly agreed" that sports teams should use their platforms to advocate for causes, while 33 percent had "no opinion." Among respondents who identiﬁed as women, 60.4 percent either "somewhat agreed" or "strongly agreed" with that statement, with another 25.6 percent stating that they were neutral or had "no opinion."
The study also gave the following information about their survey:
