NFL owners have donated around $30million to political parties and causes ahead of this year’s seismic presidential\u00a0election<\/span>.<\/p>\n

America heads to the polls on Tuesday after a long and bitterly-fought campaign between\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Donald Trump<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Between them, the Republican and Democratic nominees have raised more than $1billion to fund their push for power\u00a0and many significant contributions have come from the gridiron during this election cycle.<\/p>\n

According to data, compiled by\u00a0Front Office Sports, 10 NFL owners have contributed around $25m – between them – to the\u00a0GOP<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It’s said $20.5m of that came from Broncos owner Rob Walton, the\u00a0heir to the\u00a0Walmart<\/a><\/span>\u00a0empire, who has a net worth of around $100bn.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are battling it out for the White House on Tuesday<\/p>\n

The next biggest donations came from David Tepper (Panthers, $2.9m) and\u00a0New York Jets<\/span>\u00a0owner, Woody Johnson. The former US ambassador to the United Kingdom gave $800,000 to the Republicans, a little more than Browns owner Jimmy Haslam.<\/p>\n

Edward Glazer (Buccaneers, $722,000), Mike Bidwill (Cardinals, $120,000), Dean Spanos (Chargers, $100,000), Stephen Ross (Dolphins, $35,000) and Robert Kraft (Patriots) also gave money to the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ($20,000) and Titans chief Amy Adams Strunk ($3,300) made the smallest donations to the GOP, taking the total to $23,104,637.<\/p>\n

The Democrats, meanwhile, received only $3,334,900 from NFL owners. Art Rooney ($56,600, Steelers), Ross (Dolphins, $45,000) and Zygi Wilf ($31,600, Vikings) all contributed to the pot.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers co-owner\u00a0Avram Glazer gave more than $3.2m to the Democratic Party<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

By far the biggest contribution, however, came from Avram Glazer. The Buccaneers\u00a0 co-owner has given more than $3.2m to the Democrats – including nearly $2m to Biden and Harris – cancelling out the $772k given to the GOP by his brother Edward.<\/p>\n

Falcons owner Arthur Blank, meanwhile, is said to have donated $2m to non-partisan election reform, as well as well as $1.3m to a Harris PAC (political action committee).<\/p>\n

There was also reportedly nearly three quarters of a million dollars given by at least 15 NFL owners through the Gridiron PAC.<\/p>\n

That money was almost evenly split between the two main parties, with $375,000 going to the GOP and $359,000 to the Democrats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
