GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy is among NFL executives who donated money to a political action committee that promotes the league's interests.
Murphy's $5,000 contribution was included among donations that surfaced during a look at if NFL owners gave to PACs and candidates this election cycle. Murphy is not an owner — the Packers are publicly owned — but he is Green Bay's equivalent to one.
Among the NFL owners tracked by USA TODAY Sports, roughly 1 in 5 did not donate a single dollar to federal candidates or causes so far this election cycle — though it is possible that some members of that group instead made donations at the state or local level.
