No more taxpayers subsidies for stadiums for billionaire owners and their millionaire players.

The NFL hates America.

And I am an ARTIST saying this.

Rep. Matt Gaetz is calling on Congress to end the tax-exempt status of the NFL’s business office in the wake of controversy over players and team owners kneeling during the national anthem.

As of 2015 the NFL's corporate operations is no longer a non-profit corporation.

Dang. Trump scalped them with one speech and a couple of tweets. He moved on and the NFL is reeling.

From 2015:

http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/28/news/companies/nfl-tax-exempt-status/index.html

...”The owners have decided to eliminate the distraction associated with misunderstanding of the league office’s status, so the league office will in the future file returns as a taxable entity,” said Robert McNair, chairman of the league finance committee and owner of the Houston Texans...

While they are at it, they can get rid of the tax exempt status for the PGA and NHL. Crazy.

The owners must be putting their fists through walls about now. Their players poked a real hornet’s nest.

I don’t think they should have had tax exemptions at all. Do other major sports get exemptions too? Why? It is entertainment- they seem to make plenty of money to pay players millions.

I also do not think their stadiums should be paid with tax money.

They need to start paying their own way, with the tax exemption and sweet deal on stadiums many who don’t even follow football are paying for it anyway. That is nonsense.
