Titan Sports and the 2014 FEC cycle

Titan Sports crossed with 2014

The industry hub for Titan Sports stacks every cycle into $73,478,236. The 2014 cycle hub stacks every employer. This page keeps only the overlap: $1,470,500. Twenty-nine itemized gifts and a donor count of one produced it. The relationship is a filter pair, not a corporate disclosure and not a sports-league PAC.

Average gift size is about $50,707 if you divide $1,470,500 by 29. That average is a ratio across possibly many committees and both years of the midterm. It is not a typical check and not proof that Titan Sports as an entity authorized the giving.

Employer text is self-reported. Related legal names and d/b/a strings may or may not sit in this same bucket.

Two percent of a $73 million grouping

$1,470,500 divided by $73,478,236 is about 2.0%. More than 97% of the grouping therefore sits in other two-year windows. Opening only the 2014 overlay would miss almost the entire FEC footprint of the string.

Lifetime scale this large usually means several cycles with substantial cells, often still concentrated among few donors. This packet does not list those other years. It only fixes 2014’s place in the stack.

Single-donor mechanics in a midterm

A donor count of 1 is the strongest concentration the aggregate can show. Contribution count still moves: 29 rows can be a sequence of gifts to many committees. The join publishes the counts, not the recipient list.

Midterm cycles usually show lower national individual totals than presidential cycles. That seasonal fact does not explain why this donor’s 2014 activity landed at $1,470,500.

How to use the two hubs with this tie

If the question is what this employer string did in 2014, this cell is the answer. If the question is the full Titan Sports FEC total, the industry hub’s $73,478,236 is the answer. If the question is 2014 across employers, the cycle hub is the answer. Mixing those questions is how a 2.0% slice gets treated as the whole.

Internal links keep those three views one click apart, plus the ties index for other industry-cycle pairs.

A $73 million string and a 2% midterm slice

Titan Sports is an employer grouping whose lifetime individual total is $73,478,236. The 2014 cell is $1,470,500 from one unique-donor key and 29 gifts — about 2.0%. Seven-figure midterm money can still be a thin slice. Opening only the overlay would hide more than 97% of the published grouping.

Average gift size near $50,707 is a ratio across 29 rows, which can span many committees inside 2013–2014. The join counts those rows. It does not list them. Related legal names and d/b/a strings may or may not sit in this same bucket.

Sports in the name does not create a league PAC and does not create a federal recreation or stadium award link. Party and candidate live on the overlay. Other cycles live on the industry hub. Other 2014 employers live on the cycle hub.

The useful tension on this page is $1,470,500 versus $73,478,236. The first number is the 2014 cell from one unique-donor key and 29 gifts. The second is the grouping’s lifetime individual total. About 2.0% is the share. Seven-figure midterm money is still a thin slice when the denominator is this large.

Average gift size near $50,707 is a ratio across 29 rows that may fan across many committees. Sports in the name does not authorize league, stadium, or athlete narratives. Related legal names may sit in other buckets. Party and candidate are overlay fields. Federal recreation or facility awards are USAspending fields. This join has neither.

What the join refuses to claim

The page does not assign party, candidate, or sport. It does not convert a personal employer tag into a corporate contribution. It does not link FEC gifts to USAspending awards.

Line items belong on the Titan Sports 2014 overlay. Other cycles belong on the industry hub. Other 2014 employers belong on the cycle hub.

Questions

How much did Titan Sports-linked giving total in 2014?

The 2014-cycle cell is $1,470,500 in itemized individual contributions, from 29 contributions and 1 donor, according to FEC.gov aggregates. That is the employer-cycle join, not PAC spending and not the grouping’s $73,478,236 all-cycle total.

If 2014 was $1.47 million, why call it a small share?

Because the grouping lifetime is $73,478,236. $1,470,500 is about 2.0% of that stack. Raw dollars can look large while the cell remains a thin slice of the employer string’s full FEC history. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does one donor mean one person funded the whole 2014 cell?

The unique-donor count is 1 for this cell, so the aggregate treats the $1,470,500 as coming from a single donor key. That key can still cover gifts to many committees. The overlay lists receipts; this join only reports the rolled-up counts.

Do these contributions fund federal contracts?

No. FEC individual contribution aggregates and USAspending award data are different systems. This page does not claim that 2014 campaign gifts paid for federal obligations. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
