4. This is a good example of why the red/blue state stereotype is so ridiculous.

It leads people to believe that "red" or "blue" states are monolithic blocs, which leads to silly assertions like yours.

Red states have blue cities, Nashville being an example of such.

Soccer is huge in many red states and particularly so here in Texas. We have three major league soccer teams and many more smaller clubs. Youth soccer is a big deal here. We also have four of the largest cities in the country, and they're primarily blue.
