The Seton Hall Sports Poll was again featured in media across the country, including Forbes, Newsweek, the New York Post, Fox Business News, ESPN, Yahoo Finance, NJ.com, Lehigh Valley Live, The Washington Times and too many more to list. On Twitter, the poll's results were featured by those named above as well as Darren Rovell, Front Office Sports and a political reporter for the Washington Post, Paul Kane.

In the case of the Houston Astros, among a number of other findings it turns out that 52 percent say that if guilty they should be stripped of their world championship, something that has never happened in Major League Baseball.

Also within that release were the findings regarding Myles Garrett and Colin Kaepernick's special tryout with the NFL. These aspects of the poll were covered by two Pittsburgh area papers that are part of the USA Today network (Garrett was playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers when he committed his offense).

The Times, "ICYMI: Poll says no criminal charges for Myles Garrett; majority say Kaepernick deserved audition with NFL teams"

Super Bowl or President?

And finally, the Seton Hall Sports Poll asked the American public whether they would prefer their favorite team to win the Super Bowl or the World Series, OR have their favorite candidate win the 2020 presidential election.
The polling found that by 74 to 19 percent the American public said they would rather their preferred candidate win the 2020 presidential election than their favorite team win the Super Bowl or World Series.

However, 28 percent of males said they would rather see their favorite team win the championship than have their favorite candidate win the 2020 presidential election.

There was also a correlation between level of education and preference for the presidential election, a finding highlighted by some – including a political scientist from NYU. You can read the full release here »
