Good... now let's take their antitrust exemption as well...

I believe only MLB has that and not the other sports leagues.

I thought they had it too but it appears there has been legal wranglings out it and they really don't.

Are there 60 senators from states without pro football, like Maine and Oklahoma?

Count up the red states, b33.  I count 28 states without a NFL team.

NFL owners have deep enough pockets to make sure every state votes like they have their own team.

No question about that.

That's not quite right; Maryland's got two.

Yeah, I shouldn't have put DC in there and gave MD two.  Ugh. Well bottom line is nothing is going to happen to the NFL's not for profit tax emptions.

NFL owners aren't exactly the most popular people in town.  I doubt they have huge sway.

$ = sway.

Ask Ambassador Dan Rooney about sway.

Or ask any of them who have had a new stadium built recently, or soon to be built like SF and MSP.
