6.  The host city must provide the NFL with sales tax exemptions on all revenue generated from ticket sales, parking fees, merchandise, and NFL-related events.

How does that work?  In California the sales tax is split between a number of authorities.  The state base rate is 6% - in Santa Clara, where the game will be played, the county adds .25%, the city adds another 1%, and the regional districts (water, fire, parks, schools, parks, etc) add 1.88%.  All those folks agreeing to waive their portions, or just the cities' 1%?  Any Somalians involved?

There are four great days in the year when a person can hike, mountain bike, walk along the shoreline, kayak, etc with minimal interaction with others.  It's great to have it all to one's self once in awhile.

Those days are Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Super Bowl Sunday.  Start working on your excuses weeks or months in advance...

I am assuming then wages the players and coaches make while in California are taxed.
That would be pure shit if they're not!

Oh of course.  The organization known as the NFL forces the local government to exempt them from paying sales taxes if the locals want to host the game, the NFL doesn't give a hoot about the players and their payroll taxes and income taxes.  Of course the local authorities need personal grift in return for going along - that's part of what the free golf courses and luxury boxes are for.

When the fatcats get themselves exempted from the taxes everyone else pays, the rest of us end up paying more to cover it.

I am a big fan! It sounds like a war zone outside 😳 also the Malignant Rabbit halftime show (ft. ilia Gonzalez Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin) was fantastic and made your dumb maga mall food court songfest look like ass 😭

I had to give my cousin play-by-play for Bad Bunny halftime show bc she was stuck at a super bowl party that switched to a Kid Rock thing? Like, what? 😂 she said there was some sort of sing-along but no-one seemed to know the words. 
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Let’s hope ICE pepper sprays this lousy commie and throws him in the luggage hold of some airplane, destination unknown. Then he can ‘read’ to his heart’s content with his fellow unAmerican perverts.

Thanks man it feels good for me and the city to see so many people happy, I know a guy who got a mohawk dyed blue and green, we are learning to be proper fans. Ppl were taking off
their shirts greasing climbing and falling off lampposts in pioneer square and smashing the glass pergola as is tradition
