About time.
God Bless these two senators.
common sense, bi-partisan bill.
And who are the Democrats supporting this common sense legislation? All of ‘em seem to be hanging around DHS facilities and moaning piteously about ‘the chilrun’.
sounds like MORE WINNING!
and let’s make sure their Monopoly status is broken up too
(Congress gave them an anti=trust special status)
let’s get some new, hopefully much better teams started up!
to hell with NFL!
Amen.
Absolutely. Ghetto thugs have ruined what was once a great league.
It wasn’t always like this. Look at the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins and you had gentlemen of color like Paul Warfield and Larry Little, who played their hearts out and deserved that Super Bowl win.
Sadly, most of whatever decency remains in the NFL rests with a relative handful of predominantly white players. And their ranks will be growing thinner. Joe Thomas, retired. Jason Witten, retired. Jordy Nelson, no longer with the Packers and probably looking at his last season.
In that case I can not see how they can tax my book store as a business. Books are very entertaining.
Yes!!
Books are more entertaining than sportball. All professional sports leagues should pay tax like any other business.
I agree that youth sports organizations that do not charge admission - but sell snacks, t-shirts, etc. to raise funds, as well as charging a fee to participants - should be tax exempt.
Get rid of all tax exempt organizations.
This does not go far enough. There should be a special income tax bracket for the NFL, Rodger Goddell, and the players. A 70% marginal rate sounds good for the NFL. The money can go for “social justice.”
I am inclined to agree. And withdraw most antitrust protection.
Good start...but now OUTLAW the city and other government subsidies that result in black Middle Class families seeing their property taxes increasing 10% a year to make up for the lost revenue.
...but they won’t.
Saving the government money? Saving? More like raising taxes.
As far as I know the teams themselves already pay taxes. The leagues are not taxed because they are technically non profits, as in they pay salaries to their employees but no one makes a profit from them (no one is supposed to take money out if there is a profit).
It’s a start. Now go after NPR and PBS.
It’ll bring in a lot more than $100MM, as the non-profit structure minimizes revenue and maximizes expense, whereas the for-profit structure does the opposite.
It’ll also make them think more clearly about what’s required for growth...
End special privileges for a bunch of millionaires playing a game!
