This sentiment is very strange to me -- federations and teams engage in political speech constantly:

The main requirements for a tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) are that the organisation in question must not benefit any individual private shareholders or take part in any political activity, obligations that a national governing body should meet comfortably.
