Buck and Aikman, of course, used to work at Fox Sports. The longtime broadcasting duo left Fox Sports for ESPN in 2022. Their move has been a boon for ESPN, as the network is getting bigger Monday Night Football Games and the broadcasts just feel like a bigger deal. It's been no different this year, as ESPN has already featured some prominent Monday night games, with this week's contest between Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson being no different. While Buck and Aikman typically stick to football, NFL fans are convinced they know where they stand politically, too. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2hrzy8_0wFduBhi00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2hrzy8_0wFduBhi00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>TAMPA, FLORIDA - JANUARY 16: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman look on prior to a game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card playoff game at Raymond James Stadium on January 16, 2023 in Tampa, Florida.

He's a longstanding Republican donor. According to <a href="https://www.sportscasting.com/news/troy-aikman-doesnt-exactly-put-his-40000-of-political-money-where-his-hot-mic-is/" rel="nofollow"> reports: </a><blockquote> While those comments have inspired football fans to theorize that the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is a Democrat, records show that Aikman had donated more than $40,000 to Republican causes since 1999. </blockquote> Aikman, who owns a beer company, has also been among those to take shots at Bud Light, which has come under fire from the right. “At Eight, we believe in truth and authenticity. Our company is proudly based right here in Texas and all of our beer is brewed right here in the good ‘ol USA. So, I’ve gotta call it like it is. There are a lot of beer brands out there that are trying to cash in on this holiday by slapping an American flag on their package. Regardless of whether or not they are truly American," Aikman said, <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyAikman/status/1673354335277727745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1673354335277727745%7Ctwgr%5Ec9e0f7966b14c0dfe25617ff892114c46182b37d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fawfulannouncing.com%2Fespn%2Ftroy-aikman-beer-eight-culture-war-american-bud-light.html" rel="nofollow"> perhaps taking a shot at Bud Light. </a> “So this July 4th, drink American – whether it’s Eight beer or any other American owned beer brand. And on behalf of all of us out here, we appreciate your support. Cheers.” Buck, meanwhile, has remained more quiet with his political beliefs - for now, anyway. <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/denver-broncos/nfl-coach-diagnosed-with-cancer-at-35-years-old" rel="nofollow"> Related: NFL Coach Diagnosed With Cancer At 35 Years Old </a></div></body>
