Top Republican lawmaker wants to put NFL commissioner in the hot seat

The new chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Jason Chaffetz, told CNN he will probably haul the commissioner in front of his panel to justify the league’s non-profit status.

“I look at the landscape of the problems that we have in this nation and the NFL is going to have to sort that out. And the fans are going to have to push them that direction. That spotlight is pretty bright on them right now,” he said. “I don’t know that we would add additional light to that. All the problems we’ve got going on, we’ve got a lot of other things we need to solve.
