Following a tumultuous year of social protests and the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Presidential Elections in the United States were more significant than ever. With such a wide platform and vast fan base, many athletes spoke out in favor of specific candidates or political parties. During an October 2020 survey in the United States, 32 percent of respondents aged 18 to 34 strongly agreed with the sentiment that athletes should be free to publicly express support for political parties.
