The National Football League’s political action committee—Gridiron PAC—has weighed in on the hotly contested U.S. Senate election in Nevada that pits conservative Republican challenger Sharron Angle against Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.
The PAC has given $10,000 to Reid—the maximum it can give in a single election cycle—and no money to Angle, according to Federal Election Commission data compiled by OpenSecrets.org.
The NFL’s PAC also contributed to other incumbent Democratic senators facing viable challengers this year, giving $5,000 to Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas; $5,000 to Russ Feingold of Wisconsin; $5,000 to Barbara Boxer of California; $5,000 to Michael Bennet of Colorado; and $5,000 to Patty Murray of Washington.
In none of these races did the NFL’s PAC contribute to the Republican challenger.
Of the $341,000 the NFL’s PAC has contributed to congressional candidates in this election cycle, $340,000 has gone to incumbents. The other $1,000 went to Brian Rooney, an unsuccessful Republican primary candidate in a U.S. congressional district in Michigan, who is the grandson of Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney.

One time I turned on a game and Keith Olbermann was on my screen. Haven’t watched since.
Thank you all very much!

Thanks for the email. Just polished off a quick email.
Reminded them that Notre Dame just found itself $125 million for insulting their donor base with the Obama honorary hoopla, that over time the NFL will find a funny looking bottom line also for insulting those of us who are not into Mao.

I know it might sound “sexist” or some commie crap like that but I’m not “into” watching grown men running around wearing pink shoes with pink mouthpieces shoved in their mouth. Like the kids say, “That’s so gay”.
POS Vick was officially the last straw for me. I hope his legs are snapped. The NFL sucks more and more every year. If you must watch it, then watch in online for FREE. It is easy to find games streaming online, all of them, every single weekend. No Direct TV subscription, no frequenting Sports Bars for the sole purpose of watching the NFL Ticket, and no purchasing of NFL merchandise. Donate that Gridiron CRAP, I mean PAC.
I suppose the dim bulbs at the NFL PAC think the welfare class will buy their over-priced season tickets if they tick off Republicans.
Not only smeared Rush as a racist, forced him to withdraw from his bid to have partial ownership in the St. Louis Rams.

“Like most big business they support whomever is in power.”

It’s much worse than that. I believe that is an easy out—business-as-usual excuses. It’s a long way between John Wayne and Mao. These suits know the difference.
Watch what you say or some self-righteous celebrity will give you an unsolicited lecture, just like those annoying PSA’s.
Don’t they already favor the Packers and the Rams?
I disagree! Big Ten is where it’s at.
