NFL Gives Up Tax Exempt Status


Panthro

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the 2% club, NFL.

Just trying to fathom what all those billions could have been used for to build our communities and help the needy.

The owners have expected their players to make them give back to the communities. Shame shame, know your name.

Im no judge, but in my heart there has been some serious misgivings and dues gone unpaid to be the shining beacon that they have claimed to be.

Thanks NFL. Long overdue...

Why do people even care about this? Is it just fuel for the Goodell hate pitchfork mob?

The NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. No fuging poo the CEO types (Goodell, owners, etc) are swimming in money.

That's normal. The leaders of every major business are filthy rich. It's also no big deal that they probably use tax breaks, loop holes, and other maneuvers to make even more money. Every major corporation does that. How do you think they got so rich and powerful in the first place?

It's no more insulting and ridiculous than athletes making millions to play fuging games or people on YouTube making millions to post shitty vlogs.

The NFL is an evil, greedy entity because they've avoided paying taxes.

Everybody knows all the other billion dollar corporations out there pay all their taxes.

its not so much the taxes being paid, its the write-offs thath should go to the needy communities that help prop up the NFL as a business and the sport we apparently pay for.

One, you are getting the NFL as a league (which the article is about) and the owners (not about) who do pay taxes confused and seem to interchange them at random.

Two, do you think that tax money would have gone to needy communities?

Three, I agree the league should not be a tax exempt non profit. ..about time for that to change. blame politicians for that.

Four, reading comprehension in general here is quite bad.

To be tax exempt as an "entity" means that this so-called "entity" does in fact, make money.

So whatever this NfL entity that does make money, but doesnt have to pay taxes, will now have to pay taxes under whatever enitiy the NFL exists as.

Isn't his salary released every year already?

I think so. 

 

Worth considering legally binding documents VS what the NFL throws out in a media release.

 

Next CBA lockout and it will likely be a lockout/strike will be a poo storm.

Player Reps should be licking their chops.

If the league is not embarrassed that Goodell made $44 million last year I doubt there is very much they are afraid of.

Goodell is essentially the CEO of the NFL. That's a pretty mediocre salary for someone who is the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation as big as the NFL.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
