Owners and the NFL gave Trump over 7 mill.
It wasn't just the NFL. Let's expand the narrative.
Several prominent sports owners made big donations to Trump’s inaugural committeeSeveral million dollars of the the $107 million raised by Donald Trump’s inaugural committee came from owners of American sports teams, the Federal Election Committee disclosed.
The donors include owners from each of the four major American professional leagues, though the NFL is represented most prominently.
The following NFL owners donated $1 million: Dan Snyder of the Redskins, Shad Khan of the Jaguars, Bob McNair of the Texans, Robert Kraft of the Patriots, Woody Johnson of the Jets and Stan Kroenke of the Rams.
Kraft’s donation was paid through Kraft Group LLC, a holding company. Kroenke is also the owner of the Colorado Rapids in MLS and English soccer club Arsenal. His family also owns the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rockies. Khan also owns second-tier English soccer club Fulham. Johnson was the vice finance chair of the inaugural committee and has long been reported to be Trump’s choice as ambassador the United Kingdom.
An additional $1 million donation was made by Glenstone Limited Partnership, which is part of the Glenstone Corporation, which in turn is led by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Ed Glazer, chairman of the Buccaneers and director of Manchester United, donated $250,000.
The NFL’s marketing division, NFL Ventures, donated $100,000, as did the MLB Commissioner’s office.
Other prominent donors include the Madison Square Garden Company, the holding company chaired by James Dolan that owns the Madison Square Garden arena, the New York Knicks, Liberty and Rangers, in addition to the Knicks’ and Rangers’ minor-league affiliates and other entities. The MSG Company donated $1 million.
Quicken Loans, founded by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, donated $750,000.
Marlene Ricketts, the wife of Cubs owner Joe Ricketts, donated $1 million. Her son Todd was hired by Trump as the deputy secretary of the Commerce Department. The Ricketts family also donated $1 million to a Super PAC in support of Trump last year.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Steven Cohen, who owns a 4% stake in the Mets, donated $1 million.
In previous years, individual donors were not allowed to donate more than $250,000. The limits on donation sizes are set by the presidential administrations themselves. Trump’s inaugural committee raised more than twice as much as Barack Obama’s in 2009. -
Billionaires, corporations, NFL owners helped Trump raise record $107 million for inaugurationires, corporations and NFLowners opened their wallets in a big way to help President Donald Trump raise a record-shattering $107 million for his inaugural festivities, records released by theFederal Election Commission on Wednesday show. The amount about doubled the record set by President Barack Obama eight years ago.
After giving $5 million, Las Vegas gaming billionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife had prime seats for Trump's swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20 and gained access to a private lunch with the new president and lawmakers at the Capitol. Phil Ruffin, another casino mogul and close friend of Trump, gave $1 million.
All the seven-figure contributions fed into a fundraising total that dwarfed the amounts raised for past inaugurations — yet produced an event that was largely viewed as lower-key than previous swearing-in festivities. Trump's inaugural committee doesn't have to disclose what it spent the money on or how much was left over. But it did promise to "identify and evaluate charities that will receive contributions left from the excess monies raised."
NFL owners who chipped in $1 million each included Dan Snyder of the Redskins, Stan Kroenke of the Rams, the Patriots' Bob Kraft via the Kraft Group, Bob McNair of theTexans and the Jaguars' Shahid Kahn.
Businesses that donated at the $1 million level included Bank of America, Boeing, Dow Chemical, Pfizer, Allied Wallet, Access Industries, Qualcomm. Health care, energy and beverage companies were among the many businesses giving $250,000 or more.
Companies also gave huge in-kind contributions of goods and services, including $2.1 million from AT&T for mobile equipment and software, nearly $500,000 in "vehicle expenses" from General Motors, $500,000 in equipment from Microsoft, $300,000 in food and beverages from Coca Cola, $257,000 from Pepsi and more than $500,000 in delivery services from FedEx. -
I'll ask again. Is this boycott on a whole or some picking and choosing ? ?

Boy, I love my football on Sundays. I never seriously considered boycotting the League.
Trump and his dog whistle did it for me.
I guess i'll be catching up on some readings/ books on Sunday afternoons.
Im starting to realize that Kap pretty much laid his career and his reputation at the alter of justice. Had to take a step back and see how significant this ? is.
