It would be very easily pass resolution to strip NFL free tax status.

Thanks to a concerted and deceptive action by Republicans. I guess we want our leaders to destroy businesses and entertainment.

This ALL started because it got out that the Warriors were deciding whether or not to go the WH (something that not ALL championship teams do), and Trump threw a hissy fit about it.



Think about that for a bit.

The value of each franchise increased by 8% from last year, despite the continued decrease in ratings. Each team is worth an average $2.5 billion. Owners joined their teams last weekend.

Y'all got em by the balls!

NFL is a cash cow and the owners are rolling in it. This is all laughable.

Yeah, for all the talk of liberals being faux-outraged snowflakes, conservatives are really good at it, aren't they?

it's a cash cow because of the tv contracts. if you think the networks are going to pay more or the same after sustained ratings drops while forecasting more, you're insane.

also it exploits tensions between the networks and the NFL

The cognitive dissonance on this board since Trump tweeted about the NFL has skyrocketed. The NFL is the most popular sport in the country. It's not going anywhere when the MLS and NHL still exist.

Yes it does. It just doesn't address it how you wanted it addressed. I'm OK with that.

Difference is conservatives simply stop supporting things they disagree with. Liberals try to force them out of existence through violence or government intervention.

Other than that...you are on point.

Strange response considering you constantly whine about your questions not being answered how you prefer. Even stranger response since I asked for specific facts...and you provided completely different ones. I'll ask again:
1) what are the expenses? (The reason I ask is you posted revenue. Once we know expenses we can see how much profit there is)
2). How much of that profit are the owners willing to part with? (This would be a good way to measure if the NFLs response is acceptable or not)


Unrelated:

3) 8 percent is a good annual return, by it certainly isn't anything to get cocky about....especially when it hasn't been realized. I was in Silicon Valley during the bubble burst....lots of people were cocky about their unrealized returns....

Nothing screams freedom


Freedom requires some degree of regulation in a civil society. I don't want freedom to the point to where you can just walk outside of the restroom at a rest area because the urinals are full and take a piss in front of God, 20 people within earshot and myself just because of freedom.

Yes, that actually happened. Two dudes just pulled out their junk in broad daylight and fired away.
