Dirksen pushes NFL merger move as tax bill advances
Senate veteran Everett Dirksen attached an amendment to a tax bill to legalize the NFL and AFL merger. The action bypasses Rep. Cel ler from the Judiciary Committee and moves toward a conference committee with Ways and Means involvement. The merger, previously stalled, aims for an antitrust exemption and a possible championship game next January. Dirksen cited tax provisions and charity games as justification while noting several teams face financial strain.
