Saints & Colts – Political Contributions

Jayson — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:52:51 +0000

As I’ve mentioned, today’s Super Bowl game is going to be bittersweet for me. I love the Saints and the Colts.

I’ve been looking for reasons to pick one over the other. Frugal Hoosiers just posted a link to the Center for Responsive Politics that outlines the political contributions of the two teams. Although both lean Republican the Saints have donated over $150,000 more my party over the last 20 years.

Really, I think this is just a fun fact. I can’t cheer for one team over the other because of their financial commitments to a political party. I just found this interesting and wanted to share it.

Here’s a summary in Excel format: superbowldonors.xls

I’m cheering for the Colts. I want my best friend, Vince Eagan, to get his very own Super Bowl ring.
