Another Senator Wants To Revoke Pro Sports Tax-Exempt Status
/One can only imagine the Augusta National grill room chatter as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell explains himself and fellow member Tim Finchem---oh wait, guest of a member Tim Finchem--scolds the NFL Commish for his league's prompting of legislation to revoke tax-exempt status for "non-profit" sports leagues.
As golf.com's Coleman McDowell notes, such bills have been introduced before, including one from Tom Coburn that is in the Finanance Committee, but this time it's New Jersey Senator Cory Booker introducing the "Securing Assistance for Victim Empowerment (SAVE) Act," according to this SI Wire story.
Booker seeks to raise $100 million for domestic violence assistance programs.
