Cleary not in the United States. Politico recently reported that the
Arizona Cardinals franchise donated $5,000 to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s super political
action committee or super PAC.
The article mentions that the NFL has a traditional PAC and
that executives from various sports teams have previously donated to candidates.
Fans become fired up over whether a coach should be fired or
various player personnel moves. Often the general manager or another executive explains
to the fans (often through the media) the rationale behind those decisions. In
its report Politico said team officials could be reached for a response.
If sports teams actively engage in politics do they owe
their fans an explanation here as well?
