Using Tax Laws Illegally

They want to take away the NFL’s tax-exempt status if they don’t get the Redskin’s name changed to something else. That raises several questions: first, where the hell do they get the idea they can even DO that? Tax-exempt status is being used to EXTORT the Redskins into doing what the government wants, in the ABSENCE of any laws that say it could do so. Second, why is the NFL tax exempt, in the first place? The NFL is a “profit-making” organization. Why would (should) they have tax-exempt status? If Obama’s government gets away with this, he will have created a precedent that will allow him to extort ANYBODY if he disagrees with what they do. Talk about “targeting” right-wingers by withholding their tax-exempt status! This is a transparent attempt to BULLY the NFL into doing what the government has NO POWER to make them do. (The Blaze)
