I only today found out the NFL was classified as a non-profit. That's absurd. "Non-profit" is ridiculous. If Congress really wants to let them be tax-exempt, classifying them as a "church" would make more sense. After all, they operate mainly on Sunday, have arcane rituals that seem a bit absurd to outsiders like me, and require and receive unquestioning loyalty. And there's probably at least as much prayer going on in and around the NFL on Any Given Sunday as in churches. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/218301-reid-joins-bill-aiming-to-revoke-nfl-nonprofit-status

All kinds of music I actively despise has ended up on my iTunes and Google Music libraries for various reasons over the long years. You can live with a U2 album. Just my opinion.
