NFL Is a Tit-sucker, Too

In addition to the extreeeeeeme political correctness such as threatening to keep the Super Bowl out of states which prevent (tranny) boys from using the girls' room, the NFL has a well-earned reputation for greed.

And that isn't ending any time soon.

...The NFL has come out against House Republicans’ tax cut bill, putting the league out on a political limb even as it deals with the fallout from national anthem protests.

Other big pro sports leagues are staying out of the fight, but a spokesman for the National Football League said teams don’t want to lose a special tax break that allows them to use tax-free bonds to build stadiums
.--quoted at AOSHQ

Remember that the NFL is a "legal" monopoly in the USA, and that it has so much money that its commissioner can demand an annual salary of $50 MILLION plus a private jet plus lifetime health-insurance coverage for his family......because $50 MILLION can't take care of those premiums.

(Since the Missus is from Green Bay, the religion demands that we watch 1 game/week.  But we're not likely to watch the WHOLE game until (maybe) next year.)

    but man am I enjoying watching the NFL getting their well deserved just desserts.

    I have been maintaining a two decades long boycott of the local NFL franchise

    I can not buy anything in Hamilton County and not feel I am getting screwed for something I voted against.

    Yes I am resentful and I want to get even. I admit it. Yes this is not good.

    Is there a way for the taxpayers to renig on this deal they voted in?
    I really want to see the Bengals bleed.

    Even if the prices fall, I am simply not interested.

  2. We got the same screwing here for the Brewers' new playground. There was at least ONE big beneficiary: Bud Selig, the ex-owner of the Brewers and commish of baseball. Rammed through by Tommy Thompson, a GOP-E of the first water. He didn't give a shit about the tax because he DOES NOT PAY IT.

    1/10th of 1 percent on everything I have purchased for about 25 years and it ain't over yet.
