Political and Religious Views
- Colin Cowherd has described himself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal. In the past, he has criticized the more radical groups on the political spectrum.
- On the topic of religion, Cowherd has negatively compared the fanaticism in sports to religious hysteria. He has described himself as "essentially agnostic" on his radio show. He has said he doesn't like people promoting religious views through sports and that like the separation of church and state, athletes should be judged on their talent, not their beliefs.
- During the NFL referee strike, Cowherd has repeatedly mentioned how he's "anti-union" and feels that most successful people aren't benefited by unions and that unions protect those who aren't as valuable to an organization.
- Cowherd doesn't believe in salary caps and thinks professional sports are most successful when they are run similar to a free market, capitalistic structure. At the same time, he mentions that the NFL is close to perfect parity and that's a big reason why it's the most popular league in the country. He also said that while he's a capitalist, he understands the need for regulations and rules in business.
