20. Government subsidies

To teams for all those taxpayer subsidized facilities, stadiums and training. We pay that.

As far as the NFL tax exemption that's where Goodell is paid $44million a year. What do you suspect the billionaire NFL owners make a year? A repeal of tax exemption likely would be much more than $44million a year in taxes.
