no worries :)

and yea, I wouldn't mind hearing on the news some day, "and today, President Booker said...."

How were they EVER tax-exempt? The NFL is in no way a non-profit organization, and never has been.

They've proved again and again that they are principally all about the money. :(

Hell will freeze over before this passes, but even bringing it up is a step in the right direction.
