So UnThotful

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. Khan, a Muslim who immigrated to America from Pakistan, also publicly opposed Trump’s travel ban on five majority-Muslim countries.
Those actions may appear to contradict each other. And now, two years after the NFL protests faded and TV ratings for the league have rebounded, Khan says he is still a fan of some of Trump’s policies.
“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.”
On the other hand, Khan added, “I think it’s very clear on social issues—immigration, religion, what have you—I think we need to have a different viewpoint.”
