What a dumb article. The individual teams pay taxes on the 9 billion (well, on profits). The NFL is essentially a-not-for-profit entity set up to handle shared administrative and management tasks anyway. X dollars come in, and X dollars go out. They wouldn't be paying tax even without the exemption.
The main complaint in the article is that the ~6 million each team pays to the NFL in membership is tax deductable. Again, as a legitimate business cost it would be friggen tax deductable anyway (you would need a different structure though I guess).
