Senator To Introduce Legislation To Revoke Nfl's Tax Breaks Over Washington Football Team Name

[saveliberty]

I wonder if a guy named Dick Butkus could even play in the NFL today?

First they came for the Redskins, Then on to the Chiefs and Arrowhead Stadium!

Chief Lakhota and his scouts are keeping a close eye on the K.C. Chiefs.

Y'all scalping them also?

If you take away the tax exempt status of the NFL then the tax exempt status of labor unions should be revoked as well.

Not to mention the headquarters organization of every charitable do-gooder nonprofit collaborative or cooperative in the countries (such as the Red Cross, Feeding America, United Jewish Appeal, United Way, National Organization of Women, and on and on and on).

To threaten to strip the NFL (headquarters) of its tax-exempt nonprofit status and not to strip others of the same protection might very well constitute an act of coercion.

a.k.a. Blackmail.

It sounds to me like it could be considered a bill of attainder...

Hey Boston, I'm white and offended by the use of Celtics.

If the name of the team is so offensive to certain people, why not get the funds together and buy the team and change it to what you want it to be?

Surely there's federal grant money available for such a noble purpose?

Hey Boston, I'm white and offended by the use of Celtics.

You refuse to paint yourself blue for battle?

I think "Detroit Lions" is offensive to truth-telling-Americans.
Green Bay Packers -- offensive to vegetarians.
Patriots -- offensive to treasonists.
Saints -- offensive to Sinner-Americans.
Angels ---- offensive to Devil-Americans
Braves -- offensive to Timid-Americans.
Reds -- offensive to Green-Americans.
Heat -- offensive to Cold-Americans.
Steelers --- Plastic-Americans.
76ers -- offensive to 75 Americans.
Dullass Cowgirls --- offensive to everybody.

I have no problem acknowledging Native Americans/Indians ever again. Render yourselves faceless to the public. No problem here.
