NFL gives up tax exemption

The National Football League has decided to give up its league office’s tax-exempt status, NFL officials announced Tuesday.

Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans, said the owners of the league’s 32 teams decided to eliminate what they call a “distraction.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the owners in a memo that removing its tax-exempt status won’t have any effect on how the league operates and insisted the NFL’s arrangement with the IRS had “been mischaracterized repeatedly in recent years.”

Um, "real football"? You're certainly not talking about the NFL! NFL is the furthest thing from football or a real sport. It's worse than WWF of yesteryear. Fake/Scripted, too much money on the line to be otherwise. A bunch of sissy millionaires who have to take hits of oxygen on the bench after running a single play. A bunch of start and stop penalties and ridiculousness. Replay, commentary, commercials - no real action at all. Won't be long before they shut down because the players will be too afraid of bumping their heads.
