Did you know the NFL was a non-profit for a long time? So long in fact, it exposed the farce of nonpros. Embarrassingly so.

The teams have always been 32 tax paying companies. The NFL central office was a 501(c)(6), but the tax savings from that was negligible.

In fact, when they changed their status over a decade ago, they now no longer have to submit a 990 and have less transparency of their operations.

You are phrasing this situation to paint all non-profits as a farce, and I believe that's a bad faith take.
