I do not necessarily disagree with you but what is totally baffling to me is, all of the other owners in professional sports are out for the money first and foremost too. Yet they have commissioners who are not absolute lying D-bags who screw everything up to a fare-there-well.
Face it. Like Art Skov in the NHL, Goodell is headed for the HOF. The owners adore him. They 100% openly endorse, approve and love what he has led his minions to perpetrate against the Patriots. Could be a large dose of anti-Semitism there, but MOSTLY, they love to kick the Patriots around, and the recent on-field success dictated the discrediting campaign. Racism is alive and well in the 1%, and there are lots of Marge Schotts out there.
If/when that happens I will be there to lead a chorus of boos to drown out his speech.
Believe it or not, "white people" have quite a few separate and distinct races within their ranks, many of whom have been victims of one form or another of hate over the span of history.
Agreed. My point was that the poster's suggestion that the Krafts have been discriminated against because of their Jewish nationality constitutes racism. It doesn't. Since people of Jewish extraction are members of the white (Caucasian) race, discrimination against them by other Caucasians isn't racism. Rather, it's bigotry.
Why can't the NFL Players' Union get somebody with balls and a brain to lead them?
By definition, an assassin is a person who slays someone who is famous, whereas a murderer is a someone who slays another human regardless of her/his fame. Just sayin'... Nah, forget it, I'm coming off as a douche...
Of course you're right.
It's all good. I was just messing around. I suppose you were technically correct, lol.
Nah, no problem. Sometimes on Saturday nights I morph into my dink mode...
Just stay away from the Doritos.
Seriously, he'd make some incompetent decisions to start but certainly not malevolent or malicious; and eventually Marge would help set him straight, so yes he would be a good one...Hell, I'd take Homer Simpson.
Because that is the way it is in "big business". When big time execs are literally forced out, they all seem to get to go with a golden handshake. That will be the price to get him to go. Otherwise, I doubt there will be a football season in 2021
Yes, I know "that is the way it is in Big Business." I just don't buy the idea of it being justified in Goodell's case. Last I saw his contract expires after 2018, they can replace him then. The jagoff has made $30-plus million a year for about 10 years now, I don't see any need for sending him off with a freaking "golden handshake" unless they break his contract. Why do you consider his presence so vital to a new CBA? Can't someone else do it? I'd almost rather not have a season than see that f*ckup walk away with more tens of millions.
If they force him out now, they have to honor the balance of his contract which no doubt contains a guaranteed portion plus a portion which relies on league revenues.
