In 2011, for example, the NFL paid it's top 5 executives $60 million dollars while taking in a total of $225 million dollars and spending a total of $332 million dollars, so I'm not sure what the taxes would be on an organization that loses over $100 million dollars.

Almost all of the money the NFL takes in goes to the teams, who do pay taxes on their revenue.
