Via Roy, a chart at the bottom of the page here showing how the owners, employees, coaches and players make their political donations. The vast majority of it comes from owners, of course. and since they're wealthy they overwhelmingly prefer Republicans, with notable exceptions: Of the major givers, the Rams, the Eagles, the Pats, the 49ers and the Dolphins are all heavily Dem. The Steelers are basically 50/50. The NFL itself is 70/30 Democratic, which surprised me.
In the furor over Limbaugh trying to buy the Rams, I didn't notice anyone discussing his sexism, only his racist remarks. Did I miss it? I mean, the NFL is trying to lure women to become fans, so it would seem to me to be just as important that he's a flaming pig.
