Chaffetz, the new chair of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Friday he'll personally support the special House committee that is handling the inquiry. The Republican from Utah who recently won a fourth term in Congress spoke at the University of Utah during an event where he was honored as the state's politician of the year by the Hinckley Institute of Politics. Chaffetz says leagues like the NFL and the National Hockey League are for-profit businesses that earn millions of dollars a year and should be taxed as such. Chaffetz, a former college kicker at BYU, said the NFL should follow the lead of the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, who don't get tax exemptions. Chaffetz said he decided early in his political career to maintain an upbeat demeanor even when he doesn't see eye-to-eye with fellow Republicans or Democrats.
