Lawmaker To Introduce Bill To End NFL’s Tax-Exempt Status Because Of Redskins Name
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) announced Tuesday that she will introduce legislation to eliminate the NFL’s tax-exempt status because of its refusal to address the name of the Washington Redskins.
Flanked by several tribal chiefs, Cantwell, who is the former chair of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, condemned the team’s name as a slur against Native Americans.
“The NFL needs to join the rest of Americans in the 21st century,” she said. “It is about right and wrong.”
Oh yes lets change the NFL's tax-exempt status because they hurt someones feelings.....but in the same breath lets continue to allow terrorists groups like Cair to keep theirs.
The individual teams are NOT tax exempt, just the NFL acting as an umbrella organization. The NFL itself does not make any profit and distributes revenues from licensed products, films, etc. to the individual teams. You better believe the teams and team owners pay taxes.

ReplyDeleteI do believe the NFL should not be tax exempt. But when they are no longer tax exempt they can tell the libtards to screw off!
