Countless celebrities haven’t been shy in voicing their political views ever since Donald Trump began his first presidential campaign 10 years ago, but the great Terry Bradshaw is an exception.
Donald Trump has received his fair share of public support and/or political donations from prominent NFL figures. Hall of Fame quarterbacks Brett Favre, John Elway and Fran Tarkenton have all endorsed Trump in the past, with big-named NFLers like Nick Bosa, Gardner Minshew II and Harrison Butker also supporting the 78-year-old.
But the 76-year-old Terry Bradshaw has taken the neutral approach by keeping his political beliefs to himself. Love or hate that direction, Bradshaw and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are playing it safe by not riling up many of their fans.
In a 2020 interview with Business Jet Traveler, Terry Bradshaw revealed that he used to be a Republican but has since become “a registered independent. Bradshaw also had a firm message for those critiquing his political party switch:
“I’ve been a Republican, but now I’m a registered independent. I don’t want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, ‘I’m a Democrat’ or ‘I’m Republican,’ you’re kicking off the other side. I want the best person (in the White House), and I’ll pick the one who’s most like the way I feel.”
Other notable NFL figures who support Trump include Mike Ditka, Jay Cutler, Lawrence Taylor, Ottis Anderson and Mike Shula. Owners Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys), Stan Kroenke (Los Angeles Rams), Shad Khan (Jacksonville Jaguars), Woody Johnson (New York Jets), Robert Kraft (New England Patriots) and Jimmy Haslam (Cleveland Browns) have also donated to Trump’s presidential campaigns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers icon and four-time Super Bowl champion joined Fox Sports as an NFL analyst in 1994 and has remained with the network ever since.
Bradshaw’s longtime colleague, Jimmy Johnson, announced his retirement from broadcasting earlier this month. Ahead of Super Bowl 59, Bradshaw said he’d ideally like to continue working until Super Bowl 2029 when he’ll be 80 years of age.
Super Bowl 2029 is when Fox will next broadcast the Super Bowl under the NFL’s rotation. The network aired Super Bowl 57 and Super Bowl 59, both between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
