The NFL generates more than $9 billion annually, making it one of the richest organizations in America. They claim to care about patriotism, about bolstering the lives of young athletes, and about uniting the American people. They have the connections, the funds, their own PAC, the operating logistics, and the lobbying powers to make a difference. They could support gun control measures with that influence. They won’t.
, “The problem with guns in this country are criminals. Everything we need to make you safer is already on the books, and then some.”Meanwhile, members of the Texans donated to PACs and candidates including Houston’s Republican Party of Harris County, Pierce Bush, Lindsey Graham, and the Opportunity Matters Fund—with an average of 99 percent of donations going to Republican candidates over the last four election cycles. That included more than $1.
