So it's good, in a pro forma sense, that the NFL will no longer be 501(c)(6) tax-exempt entity, because, really?
Not touched are the billions in local tax subsidies to NFL teams to build ever-shinier and grander stadiums from which to earn more money through ticket sales. But that's a question for another day.

About fucking time. We do need to realize that with corporate dodging this likely wont change too much for the NFL. And I'm certain stadiums will continue to be built with tax dollars.
