Unethical Dealings in the NFL

Did you know the average NFL team pays no property taxes, can be exempted from all stadium maintenance fees including sewage and water? Did you know the NFL stadiums on the average are 70% paid for by the taxpayers of the state (you and me only).

​

Did you know when hurricane Katrina happened the Louisiana tax payers were already paying over $500,000 MILLION for the new stadium. They then had to pay over $470,000 MILLION more to fix it from the damages caused by the hurricane.

​

Did you know in Chicago they shut down 100 schools that they desperately needed (they were the ones who had all the school troubles and were calling for help) to do a new fancy NFL football stadium. I feel bad pointing this out but the team is not even winning, so why?

​

Did you know the NFL is tax exempt, ie a “nonprofit”. But did you know the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, alone (just 1 employee of the tax exempt “nonprofit”, makes more than any star player whatsoever? He makes $30 MILLION a year.

​

One last one, I am from Vikings land Minnesota. Did you know when our legislators were resisting a stadium issue, the not-for-profit overseer of national football’s best interest, the NFL, threatened to move the Vikings to get their way with another State tax and fee exemption.

​

(The little mafia. Let’s see if the feds hunt them with Rico, tax evasion, federal Racketeering Act, etc like do to all other so called “mafia” entities. All who tended to be poor third party immigrants or union working entities. When motivated on behalf of the little guy/gal who pay taxes, the FBI and the feds are very motivated. They will find a law for everything.)

 

All of this is in the above video. Check it out - it and more is a true story!

​

From an taxpayer standpoint, I find these stories disgusting, sad (on behalf of the poor people in America and average middle class families trying to make ends meet in America, this does not seem right. The taxpayers really need their money. And I find this embarrassing embarrassing. These top percentage rich men, women, and family owners should be ashamed of themselves. They know better than that!

​

This is unethical.  They are billionaire business people.  They know what they are doing.  They are taking advantage of innocent players and innocent average taxpayers who don't know what they are doing or they just don't get it. 

 

This reminds me of the imagery of a classic "sleezy car salesman".  Gross! 

 

Besides that, players like Adrian Peterson have lost their star careers because of the NFL's strict policy on Player's off duty conduct.  The same NFL that is playing these games, forces the players, on behalf of the wholesome, family reputation of the NFL, to be on their best moral behavior, even in their private affairs.  If you don't know Adrian Peterson's case, he was suspended a year for using a switch in Texas on his son as a form of punishment.  However, Adrian had not been found guilty of this offense when the Vikings suspended him.  They did so based on his off-duty alleged misconduct.  With no proof that this was true, the NFL slandered his name acr0ss the country.  And he it was predicted that he would be one of the best running backs in the NFL.  The same NFL running these unethical schams in this nation against state legislatures and tax payers, is that harsh on its players for basically the same thing.  It is a total double standard.

​

They know that they are literally stealing a lollipop from an innocent child. We, the hard working, honest taxpayers of America are that innocent child. I bet 90% of the taxpayers do not know that this is where their private money has really went.

​

They force a public image on the Players to their permanent detriment, just ask Adrian Peterson- picked to be one of the best Running Backs in the NFL before the National MN Vikings ONE YEAR Suspension on a public ambassador private non-football related issue. Yet they, themselves, I.e. the owners act like little mafia crooks.

 

In closing, I do wonder pray tell, are the feds looking at them or investigating them like they did with the poor immigrant and union “mafia” federal taxpayer stings or the traditional Bill Gates, corporation Microsoft monopoly busts that are done for the “taxpayers’ protection? Or is this different because it is the monopoly power, rich NFL?  I think that is a good question!
