Why would Goodell feel compelled to even point out that “the rules apply to everybody?” Who is under the impression that they do not? What would be the relevance of standing on that parapet when explaining his decision in a quick, drive-by interview?
Because this is all about symbolism. That this is about the “criminal” and not the “crime” is so much at the forefront of this case that the words fall from Goodell’s lips with ease.
