As the Times pointed out the bill is facing a steep odds, yet both of Mut 24 Coins them highlight how ridiculous it is that all major sports teams -especially the Madden NFL 24 and the NCAA -- are tax-free.

The Madden NFL 24 has received tax-exempt status because it's considered to be a "trade organization" which means that the teams technically take the profits that the league earns, and then return it to the league in dues. The teams are tax-paying, however, the league does not. However, the idea that Madden NFL 24 is equivalent to a labor union or a charitable organisation is patently absurd. Even though non-profit organizations may claim most unnecessary expenses as legitimate but the Madden NFL 24 nonetheless reported an impressive profit of nearly $9 million in 2012. It earned nearly $327 million in total revenues and paid Commissioner Roger Goodell $44 million.

But this isn't only a Madden NFL 24 problem. The NCAA is a non-profit organization that claims status because of its efforts to support student athletes, claimed $871.6 million for 2012 and is investing record amounts in lobbying efforts to block those athletes from getting any of the funds. Small foot races, which have huge sums of money, go on extravagant travel and pay organizers huge sums, claim nonprofit status.

It's time for us to stop the facade.

Tax-exempt status should be granted to organizations that are not solely focused on making a profit, specifically ones that attempt to aid people in their work. Even discounting this past week's issues, Madden NFL 24 has proven that it is solely focused on earning a profit as well as benefitting its teams. USA Today pointed out:

"If there's a rationale of tax exempting businesses, it would be they operate for the general purpose of supporting commerce across the broad spectrum of a kind of business or generally," said (Philip) Hackney who is who is an LSU law professor who has previously was an IRS attorney in the area of tax exempt-organization issues. "Commerce is essential to our nation, and we ought to encourage those engaged in it to do so in a fairly public manner. These (sports) organisations, in my opinion, are anything but public-minded in their financial interests. They are focused on the profits for their franchises."

It's not a good idea to see sports organisations as entities which transcend the realm of business that are dedicated to the greater good. However, in reality, it's pure rhetoric. The Madden NFL 24 is not focused on the good of the community and upholding a high moral standard. The NCAA is not full of teachers hoping to shield athletes from consumerism. Your local marathon may not giving nearly as much to charity as you believe it does.

Even without mentioning this week's events, Madden NFL 24 has proven that it is solely focused on Cheap Mut 24 Coins turning a profit and profiting from it.
