A win on Super Wild Card Weekend over the Minnesota Vikings marked the first postseason victory since the New York Giants‘ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 46. Despite struggling the past decade, the Giants made some positive moves last offseason as New York owner, CEO, and president John Mara attempts to right the ship of a storied franchise.
As the Giants come closer to the 100th anniversary of the team’s founding, let’s look at how the organization has been passed down through the Mara family.
Who Is the New York Giants’ Owner?
On Aug. 1, 1925, Timothy Mara founded the Giants when NFL President Joseph Carr approached to establish a large city franchise to showcase the league.
The Giants are still a family-owned organization. The original founder, Tim Mara, passed the team down to his sons, Jack and Wellington. Currently, John Mara (Wellington’s son) is the primary owner of the team, the third generation of his family to own the Giants.
