It was a shining example of more than that. This game is every fan's nightmare come true. The Goodelization of the league is complete. Pay exorbitant fees across all platforms for a product that is clearly 1/1000th of what it was just a scant ten years ago.
There was a member here named SB XXXIV until a few years ago. He vehemently defended Goodell on every issue that came up and repeatedly mocked every/anybody that raised valid questions about Goodell, his integrity and the future of this league. He had many supporters here, including members of long standing whose eyes have since been opened.
My point is, Goodell has NEVER been a good thing for us, the fans or the future of the NFL. His selection stunk of corruption from the very first day he was selected by the owners after a number of contentious ballots. He is now what he has always been, a compliant little soldier in the Billionaires Army. He is an incredibly dull witted,inconsiderate, insulated misanthrope with a complete inability to recognize his own vast shortcomings.
