It’s Election Day, and regardless of thousands and thousands of voters having already forged their ballots, it nonetheless seems like something might occur. Since 2000, the prime-time nature of our electoral system appears to align with that of a Seahawks sport—a scattershot, nonsensical sequence of occurrences typically resulting in an ending that vacillates between pleasantly stunning and downright horrifying relying in your viewpoint.
For heavy hitters donating cash, although, the numerous lifting has already been finished. They’ve positioned their bets over the previous two years and due to our (considerably, possibly, sort-of) clear donor reporting course of, we will see an image of the place a lot of the NFL’s energy gamers opted to spend their capital heading into arguably probably the most consequential Presidential election in fashionable occasions.
For this yr’s model, we combed via each proprietor donations and likewise donations made by anybody itemizing an NFL group as their major employer. We have been curious if, given the league’s political awakening, cash would shift dramatically from favoring one occasion to a different, if gamers would change into extra politically energetic donors, and which homeowners would emerge as political energy gamers heading into the 2020 election. NFL homeowners are inherently political creatures given the character of varied stadium offers and different large-scale tasks that require high-level grease and red-tape chopping so as to get finished.
However this was additionally the summer season of George Floyd and the yr of COVID-19. Problems with such a transcendent nature aren’t politicized in a wholesome society, however in as we speak’s America two sides of an irreparable political chasm fashioned. The NFL, when hamstrung by its politically motivated participant base, upped the ante on elevating consciousness for social justice points and racial inequality. Additionally they, by the mere act of working in the course of the pandemic, requiring coaches to put on masks and holding out gamers who examined constructive for the virus, have been unassumingly making political statements. To say their donations can be checked out via a finer lens on this cycle can be placing it evenly.
If I can editorialize for a second: Whereas I didn’t anticipate the present President’s rhetoric regarding the NFL and its players—a flashpoint system he has used a number of occasions on the marketing campaign path—to change the political leanings of householders, the donations do shed a light-weight on what the league has change into. I might think about that if a sitting President had criticized the growing league or its gamers again within the 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s, we might not see a windfall of donations headed to his trigger, or to the causes of the political occasion he leads. However the present possession panorama consists of a bunch of rich businessmen whose NFL possession is commonly secondary to different pursuits. Certainly, we noticed one group proprietor donate practically one million {dollars} to Republican causes this cycle. That’s not stunning, and we’ll chorus from claiming whether or not that’s good or dangerous; we’re merely acknowledging how far we’ve come from the league’s us-versus-them beginnings.
