NFL Gives Up Tax Exempt Status

[csx]

Not buying this. At all.

Whether you do or not is true.

holy fug

 

my apologies

So no more government oversight?

Welcome to the 2% club, NFL.

Just trying to fathom what all those billions could have been used for to build our communities and help the needy.

The owners have expected their players to make them give back to the communities. Shame shame, know your name.

Im no judge, but in my heart there has been some serious misgivings and dues gone unpaid to be the shining beacon that they have claimed to be.

Thanks NFL. Long overdue...

Why do people even care about this? Is it just fuel for the Goodell hate pitchfork mob?

The NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. No fuging poo the CEO types (Goodell, owners, etc) are swimming in money.

That's normal. The leaders of every major business are filthy rich. It's also no big deal that they probably use tax breaks, loop holes, and other maneuvers to make even more money. Every major corporation does that. How do you think they got so rich and powerful in the first place?

It's no more insulting and ridiculous than athletes making millions to play fuging games or people on YouTube making millions to post shitty vlogs.

The NFL is an evil, greedy entity because they've avoided paying taxes.

Everybody knows all the other billion dollar corporations out there pay all their taxes.

its not so much the taxes being paid, its the write-offs thath should go to the needy communities that help prop up the NFL as a business and the sport we apparently pay for.

One, you are getting the NFL as a league (which the article is about) and the owners (not about) who do pay taxes confused and seem to interchange them at random.

Two, do you think that tax money would have gone to needy communities?

Three, I agree the league should not be a tax exempt non profit. ..about time for that to change. blame politicians for that.

Four, reading comprehension in general here is quite bad.

To be tax exempt as an "entity" means that this so-called "entity" does in fact, make money.

So whatever this NfL entity that does make money, but doesnt have to pay taxes, will now have to pay taxes under whatever enitiy the NFL exists as.

If the league is not embarrassed that Goodell made $44 million last year I doubt there is very much they are afraid of.

[Kurb]

Isn't his salary released every year already?

I think so. 

 

Worth considering legally binding documents VS what the NFL throws out in a media release.

 

Next CBA lockout and it will likely be a lockout/strike will be a poo storm.

Player Reps should be licking their chops.

Goodell is essentially the CEO of the NFL. That's a pretty mediocre salary for someone who is the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation as big as the NFL.
