Okay, NFL fanatics. You love your pro football. Here are some pro football facts. The NFL makes on average $9 billion a year. Yep, you heard it. $9 billion. The NFL is hoping to increase that to $25 billion in the next ten years. The NFL is also considered a non-profit organization. How is that possible you ask? Well the professional league lobbied congress back in the 60's for this nice little label by more or less cornering the market. Oh, and here is a better one for you...the NFL, with it's billions in profits pays ZERO in taxes. NONE. ZILCH. NADA. So, the next time you are cheering your favorite team, remember that the congress just voted to cut $8 billion in food stamps for poor people. But hey, what does that matter. Your team won...right?

I don't care for football all that much, but the NFL is a parasitic organization. No one in their right mind should be supporting it whatsoever.

Yeah, I got my flame retardant suit on. Go ahead.
