John Mara, the prominent chairperson of the NFL’s management council and president and CEO of the New York Giants, is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. At 70 years old, Mara has dedicated an incredible 34 years to the organization. This proud family business was started by his grandfather, Tim Mara, way back in 1925. While undergoing treatment for his health, he plans to continue to be as active and influential in the team as possible.
She’s long been one of the most influential people in the NFL, as a 24-year member of the league’s competition committee. His extensive legal background has equipped him with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of running a professional football franchise. He has managed the day-to-day operations of the Giants for years and has become a familiar face alongside co-owner Steve Tisch since the passing of their fathers, Wellington Mara and Bob Tisch, in 2005.
The Mara family and the Tisch family are each 50% owners of the organization. This strange structure will still allow the two families to keep complete control of the team—even after the recent sale—forever. Under the leadership of Mara and Tisch, the Giants are all in on winning. They aim high in the classroom and outside the lines, as well as on the field.
Mara was filmed enjoying the Giants thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The team pulled off a thrilling upset victory by a score of 21-18! His participation at these events is a strong signal of his commitment to the organization through this difficult period.
“I’m feeling strong and optimistic, and I’m committed to seeing this through to a positive outcome. I plan to remain active with the team throughout my treatment, and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by incredible support — personally, professionally, and medically. I ask that you respect my privacy and my family’s privacy at this time.” – John Mara
Mara is ambitious to remain involved with the best in the field. This is a testament to his deep ongoing devotion to the franchise and its fans. The Giants community has converged on the big man’s side, surrounding him with love and prayer as he fights for his health.
