He just wanted to protect the image of the NFL I guess, and make the situation seem like a smaller deal than what it really is.

the whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion.

Ownership and authority in US sports is becoming a joke now. All the internal politic-ing to remove certain administrators or owners and force sales of teams, etc.

As if anyone actually thinks that these billionaires that own the teams are nice people who aren't ruthless businessmen or total asshole racists.

More relevant for the NFL, Goddell has to look out for the interests of the NFL. I do believe that he tried to downplay it but I don't think it is a scandal of the level the media is making it out to be and that he should lose his job over it. Ridiculous.

But when you add that there have been other domestic violence case (many more) that the league has swept under the rug then it becomes an image problem, and affects the bottom line (money) and that's what matters.

For a league that has this "self righteous" persona and tries to represent the moral compass of the US with it's Law and Order attitude they can't have this. One would say that NFL represents the US society well but that's another matter that I don't want to dive into. We live in very hypocrite times, this is all part of it.

yes i don't disagree with you. There are fundamental issues with athletes in the US (probably the world) that have way more to do with other factors than the NFL or the NBA want to deal with. I understand that both want to clean up their image and make it seem like these guys are role models, etc., but that is just a joke.

Whether it is domestic abuse, drug abuse, racism, health problems, etc... its a systemic problem. You can't just put a paper bag with a smiley face on Kathy Bates and try to convince everyone she is Adriana Lima.

Goodell is not resigning anytime soon. He only steps down if certain companies start boycotting and stuff.. the NFL is still making too much money.

Went to Chicago and overpaid to see them shit the bed against Miami. Highlight of trip was seeing the back of Mike Ditka's head from 50 feet away at his steakhouse the Friday night before the game.

The food at his place is unbelievable. Electric chair meal.
