We're kind of getting away from the point, which is that the NFL should in theory have a social obligation due to the capital provided it by the public, such as these:

....

Actually, the point of the thread is about Adrian Peterson.

Please, both you, Andy and others are more than welcome to start a new separate thread about the NFL's social and tax obligations.

Thanks.

They would then be taxed on the money they kept rather than gave, and Roger Goodell's paycheck would be lower regardless. Tax exempt status doesn't really help the owners, but it does help pad the pockets of the NFL's executives who serve as their mouthpieces and fall guys in situations like the current one.

Again, this makes absolutely no sense.
You are arguing that the owners hand money to Godell because that is better for them than keeping it. The alternative isn't to throw the money in the street. It is to pay him less and have the teams keep that money. Surely each team would rather keep a million and be taxed on it than hand it to someone to be taxed on it.
Uisng a ficticous 40% tax bracket you are saying the owners would rather give 1mill each to Godell instead of paying in and using 400,000 of it to pay taxes and keep the remianing 600,000. There is no logic whatsoever in that.

Andy, my post above was about starting a new thread if you want to discuss this side topic to the Adrian Peterson situation. Please help us keep these threads on subject. Thank you.

Post Edit: There already IS a separate thread on the topic.
