NFL owners favor Republicans in campaign cash
National Football League teams have donated at least $1.4 million to politicians, parties, and committees since 2009, with about two-thirds of the cash going to Republicans, a study released on Friday showed.
The bulk of the top NFL-affiliated political cash comes from team owners, according to analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan research group.
The league’s newest team, the Houston Texans, leads the gridiron-giving pack, doling $293,100 to mainly Republican candidates and committees.
Coincidentally, the Colbert Super PAC released a new pro-NBA-owners tv ad airing “in the most coveted ad spot in the nation - on the Dallas/Ft Worth’s WFAA Channel 8 Midday News at Noon - right between all-new episodes of ‘The Chew’ and ‘One Life to Live.’”
