imo...all men are attracted to strength.
And when they are around it, whether its a politician, celebrity or sports star, they get excited, not sexually but by the accomplishment of power.
You should see the way men act when Donald Trump is out and about, they fawn over him like a bunch of girls. But they are just attracted to his power and by kissing his ass they feel like they are part of it.
They live vicariously through other powerful men, so they cheer and support them anyway they can, buts its not sexual.
