Normally, I wouldn’t care what some executive makes.

But the NFL is officially a “not for profit” enterprise.

All the belly-aching about “the rich” during the last campaign. I’m no fan of Romney’s, but this non-profit commissioner will make in 6 years what Romney’s made in a lifetime.

It's not an unusual business arrangement, from what I understand. The NFL teams are separate business entities, and all of the league's revenues are reported on their tax returns.

And he enables owners to steal taxpayer dollars for their game factories. I care.

The NFL itself. Not the teams. “Not for profit” does not mean it is a charity, but rather that it nets zero. Anything “left” is not kept, but passed on to the teams where it is taxed...so there is nothing to tax except money passing through, which would be unreasonable.
