    Professional sports are big business along with their sports equipment stores. The amount they bring in should be taxed in the same amount of corporations.

    They make a lot more than I do and they are no better to pay tax than I am. I am an old woman still trying to keep up with inflation and they have money to throw away so I say, make them pay just like I do. Thanks for letting me vent.

    A Fraternal Association? Really? And, they have the nerve to ask for public funding of their Associations teams buildings on top of it. Time for the NFL to meet the IRS. Where's Lois Lerner when she's really needed?

    Time to end tax exemption for all but the truly charitable organizations. When staff make many hundreds of thousands or even millions a year, it's clear who's getting the charity of others.

    No head of any non-profit organization should be paid $44 million a year. Remove exemption

    They are a very lucrative business and as such should have the same laws applied to them as the rest of us. This should be a stand alone bill.

    The NFL is a business. How can you say it is not. They should pay taxes like the rest of us.
