thankfully no terrorist organizations are threatening our country and the borders are secure and millions of people have their healthplans and doctors back and taxes are low and bridges and roads are shovel ready for fixing.........
eff these criminal dems and their b.s. get to work for the American people.
I had no idea the NFL was tax-exempt. On what basis?
Did anybody show this women the recent ESPN poll where around 70% of respondents said they are not in favor of the Redskins changing their name?
where is Obama on this?
Meaningless gesture.
Only the head office of the NFL has tax-exempt status. All the teams pay taxes.

I found a CNBC web site that said: "In fact, the NFL is actually tax-exempt, a status it gained in 1944. Often forgotten, the league was granted 501(c) 6 status in 1966, when it merged with the American Football League. But unlike charitable nonprofits, or 501 (c) 3 organizations, the 501(c) 6 designation means the NFL is a trade organization. This tax-exempt status does not apply to the league's 32 individually owned franchises."
Why?
This is a politically very smart move, as it will raise ticket prices which will endear her to about half the voting public. The other half>? Not so much.
More crybaby perpetually offended liberals having a hissy fit.
There are probably not a hand full of US senators who have not been guests in the owners suite at Redskins games, standing and hooting and hollering for the gasp, Redskins.
Cantwell may be one of them.
Never let a good racism charge go unused.
Says the senator from Planned Parenthood.
Good idea. Why should it be tax exempt?
Washington owned slaves who were freed at his death. I demand that they change the name of the state.
These miserable Carry Nation wannabe’s want to destroy NASCAR, destroy the NFL, destroy college football, destroy, destroy, destroy.
When the circuses are gone will bread be enough to keep the rabble quiet?
What a b*tch.
How will the country, her party or her constituents benefit from this legislation?
Many of our congress critters think that their job is nothing but a private game they’re playing.
If they were to be ultimately successful and have all forms of American football banned, they would suddenly discover that soccer is full of concussions, misogynistic players and owners, racism and all around nastiness, just like football. Gotta get rid of men.
I’m SOOOOOO happy Sen. Cantwell has the time to make this her top priority. /s
With the World in crisis, this is the way this D-bag spends her time?
The NFL is tax exempt? How come?
I don’t care about the name, but why is the NFL tax exempt anyway?
