NFL owners donated big money to Trump

Source: CNN

NFL owners -- including many who sided with their players in protests this weekend -- were big donors to President Trump's inauguration festivities.

At least $7.75 million of the $106 million raised for Trump's inaugural committee came from NFL owners and the league, according to public records.

That includes $1 million from Shahid Khan, the Pakistani-American owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who linked arms with his players during the National Anthem before his team's game in London.

The Kraft Group, the business of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, also gave $1 million. So did Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans and a contributor to the Trump campaign.

He's very strong about this, like all the other crap the current resident of the White House has said didn't bother the owners at all, but this did.
