The league office itself is tax exempt because they pass money right through to the team, who pay taxes

Is the reasoning behind it

Greg Hardy is currently appealing a bench decision that he did in fact threaten to kill a girl and threw her into a bed of guns because she cheated on him with Nelly and "Hot in Here" came on at a club.

This doesn't matter though because without a jury trial his sixth amendment rights are being violated and it's really fun to troll carolinahuddle right now.

Well this is funny:

Roger Goodell posted:

"We did not ask the Atlantic City casino directly for the video. Again, our understanding of New Jersey law is that the casino is prohibited from turning over material to a third party during a law enforcement proceeding, and that doing so would have subjected individuals to prosecution for interference with a criminal investigation."

New Jersey law enforcement posted:

"Paul Loriquet, the Director of Communications for the New Jersey Attorney General, tells TMZ bluntly, 'No, it's not illegal.'

To be clear ... our question was very specific: 'Is it illegal for the casino to show or provide this material to a private entity in an ongoing investigation.' His answer, 'No, it's not illegal.'"

Wow... I may have been hasty in making that Toxx bet with Dexo after all this poo poo. If someone in the media really wanted to hang Goodell by his balls, they have a ton of ammo.

Of course, he's slimy enough to squirm out of this, so it's still up in the air.

Because they don't make a profit, and instead pay the league personel, and then distribute the rest of the money to the members of the league.
