Some of these articles can be misleading. It's not as if TV networks pay $X billion per year to broadcast NFL games and nobody pays any taxes on that income.
The NFL? And then there is the National Basketball League, the National Baseball League, The National Soccor League, etc. etc., need I go on? Everyone wants a free ride. Its time to stop all the give aways. Professional sports contribute nothing directly to our gross national product and only sell entertainment. Next thing you know, the movie and TV folks will also want the same as the NFL is getting. FORGET IT!
