Shady business that we all support lol

The NFL does pay taxes.   The individual teams, where almost all of the money goes, have always paid taxes.   It was only the league office, which earns a tiny amount of money compared to the individual teams, that was tax exempt in the past, and they gave up the tax-exempt status in 2015.

You're right they did. I forgot about that PR move...

They still have that antitrust exemption.

Either way..... they ain't fooling me.. they find loopholes to avoid doling out more cash than necessary to line their pockets. And making the Navy pay to have some guy reunited on an NFL field for the show of it all is just more shady stuff from the NFL. (Like making halftime performers pay to perform)
Anywho... don't wanna get into it too much as we're not in the political section.
