Owners can deducted the entire cost of of the team on federal taxes over the course of ten years.

I wish I could say that's unbelievable but it's actually extremely believable. And utterly fuging absurd.

Oops, I was wrong. 

Owners have to write off the purchase price of their teams over the course of 15 years rather than 10.

We simply must do more to end the suffering of billionaires!

No one should want Bezos to be an NFL owner.  There is enough monopolization in the US as is.  He already had the rights this past season to feature Thursday night games.  I imagine if he got a spot of ownership, he would desire to lock up more of the NFL inside his clutches.  The self declared king of the NFL.

as much as I don't like Snyder, I'll agree that Bezos shouldn't be able to profit off this after his newspaper wrote those articles

Oddly enough, our previously resident fan of The Appaloosa Way was cheering for Bezos to buy the Panthers before Tepper did.

That guy was glued to every billionaire pecker he could get his lips on.

Holy poo what a cuck.

Ban everyone from bidding that can offer fair value, argue with league that there are no serious bidders so you have to keep the team.

Do you not know the amount of companies this man own?  Of course this conversation would get into the Tinderbox area, so I won't derail the thread.  That said, if he gets his hands on an NFL team, you better believe he will try to lockdown the NFL market hand over fist.  Get ready to watch Panthers games on Amazon every other Sunday.

The only way I accept Bezos' offer is if he pays double (not like he can't afford it)
