Couldn't imagine a more perfectly crafted response to Trump than this by @warriors.

Perhaps it might now make for an even more powerful statement if the likes of LeBron, Richard Sherman et al joined the Warriors for the day.

And the first NFL team owners weigh in: "Comments like we heard last night from the president are inappropriate, offensive and divisive."
Perhaps notable Mara and Tisch (on basis of political donations) are Democrats - whether GOP-leaning owners follow suit an interesting q.
Stephen Ross, Republican donor, 2015: " I respect him, but I don't really see [Trump] as president of the US."

Ross - who also happens to be a founder of the International Champions Cup - was a major donor to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign.
Jed York, the 49ers owner, contributed to both a Republican (Congress) and Democrats (Senate and President).

Mark Murphy, Green Pay Packers President/CEO (candidate donation details unknown, only NFL lobbying donations found).
We see you, @ussoccer.
Robert Kraft, Patriots owner. Donated $1m to Trump inauguration, money to Romney, McCain, Obama, DNCC/DSCC in past.

No response yet from Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill (donates to GOP, can't find any to Trump). Head coach/players ⬇️

Arthur Blank, Falcons owner - donated to Hillary Clinton for President and Evan Bayh for Senate (both Democrats).

Wonder if Ravens owner Bisciotti speaks up. Reported (and denied) to have blocked/resisted Kaepernik's signing.

With limited exceptions (Tom Carper, S-Delaware), the information on donations I can find suggests Bisciotti heavily favours Republicans.
Terry and Kim Pegula, Bills owners - 2016 campaign donations all appear to have gone to Republicans/GOP bodies.

Sidebar: Trump ($1bn) was himself outbid by Jon Bon Jovi's group ($1.05bn) for the franchise (sold for $1.4bn).

Don't expect to hear anything from Panthers owner Jerry Richardson (mix of donations to Democrats and Republicans).

Nothing so far from Virginia Halas Mccaskey (age 94), owner of the Bears. Doesn't appear now very politically active, in donation terms.
She has, however, given money to the likes of Pat Buchanan (when running on the Reform Party ticket) and Alan Keyes in the past.
Raiders owner Mark Davis made no political donations in the 15-16 cycle.

London.

Shad Khan (Jaguars and Fulham FC) another owner to have donated $1m to Trump's inauguration. This is him today.

Solid job from the @MiamiDolphins.

That's the Steelers head coach.

Rex Ryan is a former Jets and Bills head coach, and currently an analyst with ESPN. Johnson, of course, is right.

Meanwhile at Ford Field in Detroit...

And all of this. 👇👇👇
