Raanan joined ESPN in 2016.<\/p>\n EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants<\/a> co-owner John Mara revealed Monday that he was recently diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n Mara, who serves as the team’s president and CEO, was at the team’s 21-18<\/a> win over the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> on Sunday. He was on the field pregame alongside family and members of the organization wearing a Giants cap.<\/p>\n Mara, 70, said he intends to remain involved with the organization throughout his treatment.<\/p>\n “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,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n He did not disclose the type of cancer in the statement distributed by the team.<\/p>\n Mara has handled the day-to-day business of the organization for years. Along with Steve Tisch, he has been a front-facing presence since the deaths of their fathers. Wellington Mara and Bob Tisch died in 2005.<\/p>\n The Mara and Tisch families have a 50-50 split in the organization. Recently, they agreed to sell 10% of the franchise to Julia Koch and her family, a move that is still awaiting approval.<\/p>\n The sale is not expected to change the day-to-day operations of the team, with the Mara and Tisch families retaining full control.<\/p>\n A lawyer by trade, John Mara is in his 34th year with the Giants. The franchise was founded by his grandfather Tim in 1925.<\/p>\n John Mara is the chairperson of the NFL’s management council and also has served on the league’s competition committee for the past 24 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan RaananSep 29, 2025, 03:34 PM ET CloseJordan Raanan covers the New York Giants for ESPN and can…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-190723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Giants co-owner John Mara said he intends to remain involved with the organization throughout his treatment for cancer.\u00a0Ed Mulholland\/Getty Images<\/p>\n
