Talk about stupid. Pro sports have no social value and is the last industry that deserves special treatment but they get it!! Another example of congressmen taking bribes.

Congressman asks pro sports leagues about their tax-exempt status - Yahoo News

March 26 2015
Utah Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz has sent a letter to the NFL and nine other professional sports organizations seeking information about their tax-exempt status, his office said on Thursday.

Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, recently introduced legislation to eliminate tax-exempt status for professional leagues with revenues exceeding $10 million.

The letters, sent Wednesday night, asked questions such as what the tax liability would be if the organization did not receive the exemption, and if it ever considered voluntarily abandoning it.

Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code lists "professional football leagues" as deserving of tax-exempt status, a remnant of legislative wrangling that helped the NFL and its rival, the American Football League, merge in 1966
