Jaguars owner who locked arms with players donated $1 million to Trump inauguration

BY BRANDON CARTER - 09/24/17 10:37 AM EDT

Shad Khan, the billionaire owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars who locked arms with players as the national anthem played before their Sunday game, previously donated to President Trump’s inauguration.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) forms released after Trump’s inauguration in April show Khan donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

Several other NFL owners, including Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder and and New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft, also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

Khan joined his players on the field before their game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, locking arms with two players as other members of the Jaguars and Ravens knelt during the playing of the national anthem.

one million dollars is now in Trump's legal slush fund. It's a hard learning curve for some of these people. Maybe he's waking up.

nothing about social activism about that, they're just trying to protect their investment and also stop interference in their business...
