The NFLs 501c 6 charity numbers...

WOW...

Quote:

As the Super Bowl approaches New York much like a blizzard, here are some things to think about: in 2012, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $29.5 million to run the organization. And that’s not all. The NFL, if you didn’t realize it, exists as a 501 c 6 organization. It’s not for profit!

In order to have that status, the NFL must be run as a charitable foundation. In 2012, they gave away a meager $2.3 million. Almost all of it–$2.1 million– went to the NFL Hall of Fame.

Goodell made 15 times what the group donated to other charities.

More crazy: Goodell’s salary is 1/10th of what the NFL claimed in total assets for 2012– $255 million.

Or even crazier: the NFL only made charitable donations equaling one-one hundredth of their annual income.

That's not the only problem... Look at the political donations by team. Go Chargers!

LAN stoled my point. This is a joke, but the politics behind why they are not forced to make the changes is high and pocketed lined.

NFL, NBA, and most Leagues should just be a PAC along with being a Non-Profit.
