The league is - the teams are not.

That's what I meant. Apparently it changed. But so what? The league itself made enough money to pay Roger Goodell $44M in 2013. As a non-profit.

I kind of figured you did, but I wanted to underscore the difference because I feel like this fact is usually trotted out for (and gets) a knee jerk.

To be fair, I think it's a dumb state of affairs too, but overhyping problems is often counterproductive.

[jtbayly]

Well, I do think it (was) dumb, but I also didn’t bring it up to show a big problem. I just wanted a counter-example to the claim that profits are limited at non-profits.

The Green Bay Packers are a not for profit...its the only team not privately owned by billionaires.
