Significant Political Contributions of NFL GMs, Owners and Head Coaches
Despite the league’s push to avoid politics in an increasingly turbulent political world, the nature of their ownership structure—and really, our society at large—makes that impossible. People have business interests. People have social interests. People want to see those things reflected in the society around them.
So ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, we searched through OpenSecrets.org and tallied the political donations of every major decision-maker from each team: the owner, the head coach and the general manager. The intent was not to create any sweeping generalizations about the league, though there is certainly some homogeneity when you look at where the money’s going. Instead, it was meant to lend perspective toward a league that is increasingly looked at as both far too conservative, and not nearly conservative enough.
