Republican Mitt Romney's favorite football team, headed by a donor to President Barack Obama's re- election bid, faced off against a rival owned by a top Romney fundraiser who's said he would rather see his candidate than his team win.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has given $5,000 the maximum allowed under federal election law to Obama. Jets owner Woody Johnson not only has funneled the same amount to Romney, he serves as the New York finance chairman for the former las vegas nascar tickets Massachusetts governor who is a Patriots' fan.
"Well, I think you always have to put country first," Johnson said. "So I think it's very, very important, not only for us but in particular for our kids and grand kids, that this election come off" with Mitt Romney claiming the White House.
The Atlanta Falcons' Arthur Blank and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Dan Rooney, named by Obama in 2009 to be ambassador to Ireland, joined Kraft in donating to the president's re-election campaign, according to a Bloomberg Government las vegas nascar tickets analysis and the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group that tracks las vegas nascar tickets campaign donations.
Eleven other owners aside from Johnson are Romney donors, including the Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones and the Washington Redskins' Dan Snyder, whose teams otherwise are arch-enemies. The newest member of the owners club Jimmy Haslam III, whose purchase of the Cleveland Browns was approved by the league earlier this week, is another Romney contributor.
Relatives of owners who help run teams also are helping Romney. Arizona Cardinals' owner Bill Bidwill and his son, Michael, have combined to contribute $7,500 to the Republican, and four members of the Spanos family, which owns the San Diego Chargers, have donated $11,000.
Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans, las vegas nascar tickets gave $1 million to a super-political action committee that backs Romney and can accept unlimited individual donations. The contribution las vegas nascar tickets to Restore Our Future on Sept. 26 was McNair's first to the group.
"These are all multimillionaires and billionaires," said Michael Cramer, las vegas nascar tickets director of the Texas Program in Sports and Media at the University of Texas in Austin and a former president of the Texas Rangers baseball team and the Dallas Stars hockey franchise. "They are clearly supporting the party that will deliver best results as they see it from a tax-and- economy standpoint."
"It's just to thank everybody, to bring everybody up to speed in terms of what's going on," Johnson told reporters as he entered a dinner gala at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, where he later would see a video of Donald Trump telling Obama, "You're fired!"
Despite Johnson's support, Romney declared his allegiance to the Jets' division rivals in a September appearance on "Live," the television las vegas nascar tickets program hosted by Kelly Ripa and former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan.
