Why is the NFL deemed "not for profit". And does not pay any taxes. Can someone explain this to me?

The NFL gets paid billions of dollars by television networks, radio and also gets paid for any video used in commercials, tv shows, movies, and any other video or audio media that is not owned by the NFL. They also sell commercial time on their own Television network shows and games. They also sell products and get paid for all kinds of products with team logos and NFL logos. The NFL pays millions and millions of dollars exorbitant salaries to its top executives The NFL really is the Team Owners who control the NFL and really run the NFL.
The NFL claims to be a nonprofit and therefor is tax exempt and pays no taxes. It looks like the NFL is subsidized by the Regular American that does pay taxes. Can you explain why the NFL that earns billions of dollars is Tax-Exempt and Pays NoTaxes?
