Sorry I guess I should have stopped repeating myself and just said that the posters above are just misinformed. > of maximizing the flow of funds out of the NFL. The money to the NFL org comes from the 32 teams which have already been taxed, some operating expenses are taken from this pool, then the cash is redistributed equally to the teams. > The broader point--that the US supports a moneymaking enterprise by means of tax breaks, stadiums, etc. in ways that have questionable financial benefit to the public at large--does not appear to be well-addressed by your arguments. This thread was mainly debunking the fact that the NFL is bilking the American public by it being a non-profit. I'd agree it is up in the air about subsiding big sporting arenas etc. My city built a $600 million stadium not too long ago and raised taxes so that we could host the Super Bowl. Apparently the city believed it was a net-net win for the state overall.
