President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for changes to U.S. tax law affecting the National Football League, fueling a feud with the league and its players over protests that he says disrespect the nation.

He already did when he owned a USFL team. He sued in federal court and beat the NFL. But the USFL was already defunct and court only fined them $1.
I agree with you on tax-exempt non-profit reform. Shut it all down. How is Scientology a religion?
May I add, ow is Islam a religion?
It is a death cult and war machine and has been one for 14 centuries.
I’m seeing more people out on the roads, in the stores, in the park on Steelers Sunday’s this year. Used to be the world came to a halt when the Steelers played.
I wonder how many knew the NFL was “non-profit” and tax exempt. (I didn’t know that.). When “the rest of us” finally get this “new” message, there will be real outrage. I was upset before, now I’m angry. Trump is like a bright flashlight in the dark...and the roaches are coming into view everywhere!
How is Scientology a religion?
That is a very funny story. It was a masterful war using Sun Tsu’s tactics and Scientology won.

As a non profit, the executive salaries are excessive.
NFL is no longer non-profit after giving up tax exempt status in 2015.This has to do with other tax ramifications!
I am sick of supporting theis madness through my local tax payments. Why should I be forced to subsidize a private enterprise? That is the definition of fascism.
It is not. They gave up the designation several years ago.
How is the NFL an non profit?
Non Profit like the Clinton Foundation ?
Then there is O J-—a totally out of control arrogant SOB.
Too many people for a Hillary Rally!! Must be a high school football game....
I think we need to do some match-making between OJ and the ‘new and improved’ Bruce Jenner!
Then OJ can, ‘Nicole’ Kaitlyn and we’ll be rid of two nut jobs for the price of one! ;)

In years past, the NFL itself was non-profit as an organizational structure, because it disperses all funds it takes in to the teams - who all pay whatever taxes they individually owe in the normal manner.
Since 2015, the NFL has changed the way that the money flows so that that structure no longer applies.
However, the NFL still has an Anti-Trust exemption that allows them to fix prices, fix wages, and illegally centrally control media contracts, all of which are otherwise illegal. The teams also have property tax exemptions and the agencies financing their stadiums are floating tax-free bonds. This is worth more than all the other tax breaks and non-profit status ever totaled.
