UFC Strips Title, Indefinitely Suspends Fighter Arrested For Hit & Run

Witness accounts said that Jones first exited his car and ran toward a nearby hill. He then returned to his car, grabbed a wad of cash and stuffed it down his pants before running back into the hills, the police report said.

The police found paperwork with Jones' name and MMA affiliation on it when they searched his abandoned car and made several failed attempts to reach him by phone immediately following the collision.

Jones turned himself into Albuquerque police the next day, according to NBC.

UFC announced that it has suspended Jon Jones indefinitely and stripped him of the light heavyweight title as a result of violations of the organization's Athlete Code of Conduct Policy. Jones was recently arrested in Albuquerque, N.M. on a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. As a result of the charge and other violations of the Athlete Code of Conduct Policy, the organization believes it is best to allow Jones time to focus on his pending legal matters.

UFC feels strongly that its athletes must uphold certain standards both in and out of the Octagon. While there is disappointment in the recent charges, the organization remains supportive of Jones as he works through the legal process.

NFL Forfeits Status As A Tax-Exempt Nonprofit

As a result of the move, Commissioner Roger Goodell will no longer have to disclose his salary.

The NFL will give up its tax-exempt status, the league announced Tuesday in a letter to the 32 team owners.

As you know, the effects of the tax exempt status of the league office have been mischaracterized repeatedly in recent years. The fact is that the business of the NFL has never been tax exempt. Every dollar of income generated through television rights fees, licensing agreements, sponsorships, ticket sales, and other means is earned by the 32 clubs and is taxable there. This will remain the case even when the league office and Management Council file returns as taxable entities, and the change in filing status will make no material difference to our business.

The NFL was awarded this privilege in 1966, when a unique clause was added to the tax code that classified "professional football leagues" as 501© nonprofits.

MLB was once tax-exempt as well, but voluntarily surrendered their status in 2007.

Politicians have put increased pressure on the league to surrender its tax-exempt status, but the league spends more than $1 million annually on lobbyists and the status was never seriously threatened through legislation.

The decision to make the league taxable along with the teams means they no longer have to disclose executive salaries. Goodell's compensation has been reported to be upwards of $44 million in recent years.

Otherwise, Goodell says "that a change in the tax status will not alter the function or operation" of the NFL.
