Charles Johnson’s 15 minutes of infamy may not have run their course.
Johnson, the billionaire co-owner of the Giants, was criticized when it came to light last month that he and his wife each donated $2,700 to the campaign of Mississippi Republican Senatorial candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith — who joked about public hangings and posed holding and wearing Confederate artifacts.
That revelation came on the heels of news that Johnson had donated $1,000 to a super PAC that aired a racist radio ad in Arkansas. It was enough that some critics — Dr. Harry Edwards and civil rights attorney John Burris among them — called for a boycott of the Giants.
