The good news is: the National Football League will voluntarily abandon its indefensible tax-exempt status and start filing tax
returns with a check enclosed—at least a small check, assuming that NFL lawyers
can’t legally hide all of its income.
Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association
and NASCAR already file as for-profit organizations.
The bad news is: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other
execs forgot to mention that a primary reason for their decision is to avoid
filing detailed non-profit tax returns that include disclosures like Goodell’s
annual salary ($44 million in 2012) and the fact that six other execs are paid
more than $1 million and the fact that 298 employees make $100,000 or more.
Here’s my question: would they do the same job for a little
less? Would Goodell put his whole heart into it for a mere $40 million?
