NEWSDAY reports this week on a rather ironic Magic Johnson radio ad for Hillary Clinton (interesting to note that he’s endorsing Clinton over Barack Obama, for obvious reasons).
Ad copy: “This is Magic Johnson. On the court and in life, successful leadership comes from hard work and experience. That’s why I’m endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.

Now that we know which sports types are dealing with Democrats, who’s rooting for Republicans?
