NFL is a non profit org?!

How on earth? As usual, truth is stranger than fiction:

Why Does the National Football League Deserve Tax-Exempt Status?

You may not know it, but the National Football League is a nonprofit organization. It may seem absurd that a collection of teams that generated at least $9 billion in revenue last season would be given tax-exempt status, but the NFL is technically classified as a 501(c)6 organization.

"What a f-ing BS scam that is!" comes to mind! What could more blatantly for profit than the NFL?!

MLB only recently lost their tax exempt status. (2007)

It's all Bush's fault.

You leave my NFL alone. Football is like air and water to me. I would give them farm subsidies if I could.





Ok, not really. It's pretty unbelievable that they are a non-profit.

You'd pay them not to play?

Lol, that's funny.

I do love football. Alot. But, the NFL as a non-profit is ridiculous. Pretty much like the catholic hospital network.

How can I say this politely? The golden rule!! Those that have the gold make the rules. I am so amazed that people do not realize how corrupt the government/corporations are.
