“For better or worse...watch for ticket prices to go up if this passes... “

And salaries plummet. But wait... Wouldn’t that be racist?

There is a simple solution to this whole thing.

Stop watching the NFL on TV
Stop buying tickets to NFL games
Stop buying NFL licensed merchandise.

Get rid of the NFL and shut the politicians up at the same time.

College football is more fun to watch, anyway.

The networks and merchandisers will just have to send the major payments the NFL gets directly to the 32 teams. Since the NFL is merely a creation of the teams, it will get just enough money from the teams to break even and not one penny more. No profits = no taxes, just like now.

The NFL is not like most franchiser/franchisee organizations like McDonald's where the parent company is owned separately from the individual stores.

It’s truly ridiculous that the NFL is tax exempt. Subsidies for multi-zillionaires all the way around.

I have not bought one since the early 90’s.

Don’t even watch MFL on TV anymore...

Too many over paid, undereducated thugs in the game nowadays....

The teams are already paying taxes. The players, coaches and other staff also pay taxes. The only thing that is none profit is the NFL trade association. So in order to stop their non-profit status, Congress will have to go after the laws for trad associations.

This becomes dangerous territory fraught with all kinds of unintended consequences. Mostly because there are a lot of trade associations out there. My advice is to tread lightly ‘cause you could easily be “fixing” one thing but causing a whole lot of problems.

They should have the same tax rate as every other corporation, as should GM and GE and Solyndra and....

I don’t think the teams are tax-exempt. Just the NFL as an organization, I have no idea if it has any money.

My response would be:

You pass this bill and I will be sure that every season ticket comped to every Senator and Congressman will be instantly revoked. See you and raise you.

You comment shows that you either do not know how the NFL is structured or that you don’t know the tax law. The NFL is a trade association of member teams. The teams pay taxes, the players and staff pay taxes. The trade association is a non-profit because any money that is made (profits) do NOT go back and reward the owners (teams).

Monies gained are used to advance the NFL as a whole. It is no different than any other trade association. This includes the Chamber of Commerce and other like organizations. Here is a list from wiki:

No, they should have the same tax rate as every other non-profit trade association. The teams, players, coaches and staff already pay taxes.

Since the NFL itself doesn’t actually make money, it merely collects and distributes money on behalf of the teams, it’ll never pay taxes.

The NFL had no problem showing 2 guys kissing on national TV but they forced RG3 to turn his Jesus shirt inside out.
Let it die

It doesn’t have to die but they should be made to stop holding cities hostage to their demands for new stadiums or they will pack up and move.
This list could be added to very easily.
