So why is the NFL 'tax exempt'?
Surely they WANT to pay their fair share !
Please join with other and add your name.....
The Superbowl is the biggest television event of the year and the NFL is one of
the most profitable enterprises in the world—but the NFL enjoys non-profit
status thanks to a congressional statute.
Sign the petition to Congress: Revoke the NFL’s non-profit status. Taxpayers pay for NFL teams in other ways, too—state and local governments regularly subsidize teams to build and upgrade facilities, and the league’s hugely lucrative TV deals are exempt from antitrust laws. Revoking the NFL’s non-profit status is not controversial—even Tea Party Republicans like Sen. Jason Chaffetz of Utah agree that the NFL is a for-profit entity receiving unfair tax breaks. Now, we just need to make sure Congress does something about it. Sign the petition to revoke the NFL’s non-profit status. Keep fighting Chris Bowers, Daily Kos |
