I’m pretty sure that Everytown for Gun Safety was doing just fine thanks to the financial largess of their billionaire founder Michael Bloomberg, but the gun control organization now has a second anti-gun sugar daddy to thank after Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer cut the group a $7-million check this week.
According to Sportsnauts‘s Vincent Frank, the donation to Everytown is Ballmer’s largest political contribution ever, and comes as the league is embracing “social justice” causes ahead of the resumption of its season later this month.
The 2019-20 NBA campaign is slated to resume on July 30 at Walt Disney World in Orlando. The backdrop will be widespread protests following the murder of George Floyd back on May 25.
