Reply to comment by wwarnout in TIL that the NFL made a committee to falsify information to cover up brain damage in their players by KirstenTillson
The NFL organization technically made no profit until it changed how it was organized in 2015. Until 2015, individual teams made the profit and were taxed that way.

The "NFL" doesnt do that, individual owners do. There are some owners that dont as well.
However it was the NFL, the organization, that covered up brain damage for years and sued to not pay any healthcare for the players who had their brains bashed in.
