NFL-Omission

Please explain why your coverage neglected to comment on one of the most important aspects of the NFL which is the 501C3 non profit charity status bestowed upon by Congress which is a disgrace. If you fail to mention important details like this for one story how many other stories are lacking vital details. I’m disappointed to say the least as your podcast coverage has been good up till now as it gives me pause for thought.
