I'm not doing Sympathy for The Commissioner in case you wonder.
Someone else suggested this - Goodell might just be taking orders from the other owners....i.e. Deflategate was not an executive decision to 'get' the Pats, but owners telling Goodell he had to.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall. Is Goodell a strong but corrupt commissioner, or a puppet? I lean towards the latter, although I certainly would not characterize any of his predecessors of being spineless.
One of the biggest issues in this country is CEOs and other C-level officers becoming fatter cats while the subordinates get less of the pie or even cut out - consumers also getting the shaft....the 32 NFL owners resemble that model even more these days.
I would be tickled if Goodell was punted out of Park Ave, but I fear we would just see a new face grinding the same old axe. If I'm right, I'd love for someone on the inside to whistle-blow, get this in court and heads to roll. CTE is the most likely vulnerability.
