Also from the article:
Light was a former NFLPA player-representative, and said that in negotiations during the lockout in 2012 the commissioner would not relinquish the power to oversee appeals. The tackle called it a "deal-breaker" for Goodell, and rather than risking being locked-out for an entire season, the players obliged. Now, Light believes we are seeing the adverse effects of a man with too much power.
and
Light has a degree in industrial engineering, and says that Wells' science never added up.
"I think, finally the voice of reason is coming out," Light said. "Look, I'm a Purdue guy, an engineering guy. I understand a lot of the basic concepts that are in those reports, and the Wells Report has been flawed since the beginning. And how they handled this whole situation was completely flawed. I mean, they knew supposedly there was a problem, yet they did nothing? They had no controls over measuring the footballs and how they would judge the pressurization of the balls. It's really sad how the whole thing has been handled, and I think now people are getting the real story with real science behind it."
Interesting perspectives from Light. As a former NFLPA rep who participated in the 2012 negotiations, as well as an intelligent guy with an engineering degree, I think he's one of very few people who has a functional, real-life understanding of the various issues relating to Goodell and the Wells Report. He's right on the money here.
