Jacksonville Jaguars Gives Planned Parenthood $30K Grant
Jacksonville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- With the start of football season just weeks away, millions of Americans are purchasing tickets and T-shirts to support their favorite teams. However, the Jacksonville Jaguars have given their fans one less reason to support the team, because its foundation has given a grant to the nation's largest abortion business.
When the Jaguars were named as the National Football League's 30th franchise in 1993, the Weaver family which owns the team wanted to make sure they gave back to the northeast Florida community.
They started the Jaguars Foundation a year later and awards went out before the team ever played its first game.
On Tuesday, the foundation awarded the first grants, which included a $30,000 donation to Planned Parenthood of Northeast Florida.

Never been Jag fan, and this make certain that I never will be.
I guess the Jags are planning on a big Beer bust Party with scantily clad women.
Anything done to enrich the Jags, enriches these dubious "causes" as well.
“Bless them, they do give alot, but we hear about it every time she so much as tips someone.”
Bless them for aiding in murder?
"The Jaguars Foundation has given over $250,000 US dollars to Planned Parenthood in the last 3 years and a local pro-life group called Gideons Fire began a campaign in 2005 to notify residents there about the team's actions."
That is a quarter million dollars that will aid PP in killing more babies. I'm glad I'm not a Jags fan.
30K is just for a tax writeoff. Could be in Leftwich’s, Wilford’s, or Matt Jones’ contract.
Kidding, to a point.
Are you sure?
This unfortunate and longstanding trend has been discussed at length in the forum.
Here's an enlightening article from National Review on the subject.
Me too.
