Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan donated $1 million to President Trump’s inauguration in 2016, along with a handful of other NFL owners. But he also famously stood and linked arms with his players during the national anthem before a game in September 2017, amid the height of the player protests that Colin Kaepernick started and Trump so vehemently and vocally criticized.
“I had been a big fan of the economic policies,” Khan said on stage at Yahoo Finance’s All Markets Summit on Thursday. “That happened, and I think we are benefiting from it.” Khan is hardly the only business leader to say that he likes Trump’s economic policies, but not his social approach. Khan is CEO of car bumper maker Flex-N-Gate, which supplies parts to the biggest automakers in the world and had $7.5 billion in revenue in 2018. “I think with manufacturing—I’ve been on a factory floor 50 years, and this is about the best it’s ever been,” Khan said. “The factories are going through a huge revolution. New technology, more brains, less brawn.
Khan also declares “the best days of the NFL are ahead of it, especially now with international availability.”
