(I know MLB does, and that NASCAR does not, but am unsure of the rest of professional sports). I suspect they do given the blackout rules, but don't know either way. Even if they do, the feds aren't the ones coughing up tax breaks for local stadiums, so I don't see the federal government's interest (other than as a bully pulpit).

And taxpayers are paying for many NFL stadiums. The public has a fiduciary interest in teams that cheat.

It's none of his frakkin' business what the NFL does or deosn't do here. If he wasnt to litigate their decisions, resign (PLEASE!) and join the NFL. Dope. I agree 100%.
