Anonymous Coward User ID: 53247275 United States 01/22/2014 11:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NFL Commish Makes $29.5 Mil a Year– 15 Times More Than Tax Free Org Gives to Charity, More than CEOs of Ford, Heinz, FedEx As the Super Bowl approaches New York much like a blizzard, here are some things to think about: in 2012, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $29.5 million to run the organization. And that’s not all. The NFL, if you didn’t realize it, exists as a 501 c 6 organization. It’s not for profit!
In order to have that status, the NFL must be run as a charitable foundation. In 2012, they gave away a meager $2.3 million. Almost all of it–$2.1 million– went to the NFL Hall of Fame.
50% rule, -->don't count if its just the head.
Also consider:
Bud Light to be official beer sponsor
Anheuser-Busch's flagship brand Bud Light will be the official beer sponsor of the National Football League, edging out rival MillerCoors, which said Tuesday it wouldn't renew its deal.
Anheuser-Busch's six-year deal, which begins in the 2011 season, is worth more than $1 billion, a person close to the league said Tuesday.
50%
Go Go team America.
Also consider most NFL stadiums are payed for by taxing citizens, many who may not even like football or watch it, you have no choice its added to sales and local taxes.
This is example of Corporate Capitalistic Excellence in Action.
A example of a Free Society, not run by big business or big money.
A perfect example of the success of Capitalism.
Is not a example of the perfect Wellfare recipient.
Fuck Football, ya that is me doing my bad ass Cornerback rant, ...... |

I don't care for them, but you'd be blind not to see that. When the vast majority of the people are actively involved in something, it's going to get preferred treatment. |
