Yes, the NFL has decided to change the league office from tax exempt to taxable. It means that the league eventually will be able to keep secret the money paid to Commissioner Roger Goodell and other top executives.
But not yet. Specifically, one more report will be filed, showing the compensation given to Goodell and others through March 31, 2015. Which will reflect the money Goodell made — or didn’t make — in 2014, the year in which he presided over the Ray Rice P.R. debacle.
Goodell’s compensation hit $44 million in the year ending March 31, 2013, and dropped to a paltry $35 million in the year ending March 31, 2014.
