We'll start with the unfair non profit federal designation.

Throw in millions of dollars of homeland security enforcement for their trademarks.

Throw down a few more millions for dramatic flyovers by the department of defense...

Throw in some more millions for stadium subsidies and public transportation infrastructure...

Throw in some more millions for law enforcement to secure these events..

Pretty soon we see an exercise largely subsidized with public dollars where the profit goes to private parties.

The NFL is a parasitic enterprise feeding off the goodwill of the taxpayer.
