Also known as a solid conservative, he criticized Tina Fey for her portrayal of Sarah Palin during the US Presidential election in 2008 and was a vocal supporter for Senator John McCain. Although you won’t hear him preaching; he says, “It’s not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I’m an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended.”
Roger Clemens
Clemens is nicknamed the “Rocket” and is best known as a former baseball pitcher, he played 24 seasons in Major League Baseball for four different teams. He tallied 354 wins and 4,672 strikeouts, still the third-most of all time. Also known for his competitive nature, he won 11 All-Star and two World Series Championships. When accused of using steroids and H.G.H. the Republicans came to Clemens defense, “This report is nothing more than a way for the Republicans to justify their partisan behavior at the hearing,” Emery said. “Their behavior was disgraceful, and this report shows even more that orders were coming from above from other Republicans to support Roger.”
