Giants and Patriots Toss Political Dollars To Democrats

[Tony_FLADEM]

When the New England Patriots and New York Giants meet on the national stage in Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday, it's expected to be an event far removed from politics -- just two tough and proven football squads, squaring off in the biggest sporting event of the year.


Off the field, however, is another matter entirely.


A Center for Responsive Politics analysis of political contributions by players, executives and coaches, in addition to their spouses, shows that both squads are fully engaged in the world of political football. And both are very much on the Democratic bench when it comes to political giving.

I'm not sure who to root for since this is the case.

2. I hope they also do what Ed Schultz suggested the other day.

He suggested they make some sort of statement about the State of Indiana (and other states) and their recent stomping on workers' rights. Ed said the players' union came begging for support at some organized labor event during the strike. Now is payback time.

3. I agree with Ed.

Some solidarity would be nice.
