But it's a 501(c)(6) (business trade organization), which is not the same as the 501(c)(3) charitable non-profits you're used to. They don't escape any tax burden through this structure, their profits are simply taxed at the member level. (i.e. the teams).

Signed,

Noted hater of the NFL, but a bigger hater of morons running their mouths about things about which they have no knowledge.

This this this. It's really frustrating when I hear people bitch about this, I've no love for the NFL (the owners I mean) but it's dumb to criticize them for this.

But it's a non-profit, so they're literally stealing from the people. Like, literally you guys.

It's basically Enron and WorldCom all over again.

Are we still allowed to be smug if we don't have a cable subscription at home and don't ever buy tickets/merchandise/anything that's related to football because I'd rather spend it on brake pads and tires?

I don't like having images back.

Speaking in ".jpg/.gif/.wmv" was such an art form.
