NFL’s nonprofit status for the world’s most profitable sports association

This one must surely baffle those who support tax fairness, small government and ending taxpayer subsidies.

Even if you're a football fan, isn't this Welfare for the Wealthy Owners?

Please consider adding your name to the petition below:


The National Football League is one of the most profitable enterprises in the world—but it somehow enjoys nonprofit status with the IRS.

Sign the petition to the IRS: Revoke the NFL’s nonprofit status.

The NFL’s subsidization by taxpayers doesn’t end there. NFL teams are regularly subsidized by state and local governments to build and upgrade facilities, and the league’s lucrative TV deals are exempt from antitrust laws—all on top of enjoying nonprofit status while raking in hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

At a time when austerity measures have forced across-the-board cuts that have slowed our economy, cost us jobs, and threaten even deeper cuts to come, it’s time to stop the public giveaways to the world’s most profitable sports association.

Sign the petition to revoke the NFL’s nonprofit status.

Keep fighting,
