You watch MLB and NHL, right? I’ve proven your hypocrisy. Multiple times.
And “daily basis?” I’ve probably listened to two hours of The Score since football ended.
Can't say I watch these baseball teams or listen to their radio stations (unlike you!)
Major MLB teams and owners tied to Trump's campaigns:
*Chicago Cubs: The Ricketts family, who own the team, contributed extensively to Trump's campaigns and gave $1.6 million to his inauguration committee.
*San Francisco Giants: Principal owner Charles B. Johnson and board member Deborah Magowan have given millions to assist Republican candidates, including Trump's re-election bids.
*Texas Rangers: The franchise and its ownership group historically lean Republican, with executives making significant donations to GOP campaigns.
*Miami Marlins: Former owner and CEO Jeffrey Loria contributed $125,000 to the Trump Victory super PAC
NHL owners who have contributed to Donald Trump’s campaigns include:
*Vegas Golden Knights: Owner Bill Foley made direct financial contributions to Donald Trump's presidential campaigns and affiliated committees.
*Carolina Hurricanes: Owner Peter Karmanos has a history of contributing to Republican candidates, including Donald Trump's campaign.
*New York Rangers: James Dolan, Executive Chairman of the Madison Square Garden Company (which owns the Rangers), has previously contributed to GOP causes and Trump's campaign.
Additionally, some NHL owners have been closely tied to the Trump administration politically. Florida Panthers owner Vincent Viola was selected by Donald Trump in 2016 to serve as Secretary of the Army (though he ultimately withdrew his nomination).
Guess the Blackhawks should donate to Trump so they can be playing for Lord Stanley's Cup!
These owners have directly cut checks to Donald Trump’s campaigns or major pro-Trump Super PACs (such as Make America Great Again Inc. and America First Action):
*Woody Johnson (New York Jets): One of Trump's most prominent financial backers in the league. During the 2024 election cycle, Johnson donated $4.1 million to Republican causes, which included a $1 million contribution to the pro-Trump Super PAC Make America Great Again Inc.. He previously served as Trump’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom after donating over $1 million during the 2016 cycle and later giving $3.1 million during the 2020 cycle.
*Stephen Ross (Miami Dolphins): Ross made major headlines during the 2020 cycle when he hosted a lavish, high-dollar fundraiser for Donald Trump in the Hamptons, where individual tickets cost up to $250,000.
*Edward Glazer (Tampa Bay Buccaneers): Part-owner and co-chairman Edward Glazer has consistently funded Trump committees. He backed the 2016 campaign directly, hosted a Beverly Hills campaign fundraiser where entry fees reached up to $250,000, and has regularly contributed to the Trump Victory joint fundraising committee.
*Amy Adams Strunk (Tennessee Titans): Campaign finance records from the 2024 cycle explicitly track direct individual contributions from Strunk to Trump's official campaign committee.
*Mike Brown (Cincinnati Bengals): Explicitly tracked by watchdog groups as a direct donor to Trump's re-election campaign operations during his initial bids for office.
