OT: Goodell Cuts His Salary to $0

[Ian]

Per Schefter:



Finally, he's getting paid what he's worth

 

[TBR]

That's nice, I guess. But I have a hard time taking this at face value.

 

[Spiral]

I think he's a tool and way overpaid. Having said that, I think this is a decent gesture. Would have liked it more if he would have donated his salary to some needy organization in NYC.

 

[n1997y]

He’s worth every penny of it.

Sounds like he might be trying to cement his continued employment by taking a token pay cut.

 

[jah]

I was gonna say something along the lines of "it never works when a wildly rich person makes this gesture because they have so many other potential sources of income and more money saved up than they'll ever need", but the responses in this thread make it look like it did work.

40 million a year......wake me up when he doesn't make any money for 100 years....then maybe I'll feel sorry....nah....probably not...

The NFL makes sure everyone knows it when Goodell takes a pay cut for whatever reason. Then they are very quiet when he gets it back on the back end down the line.

0 dollars? he's still overpaid

 

[sb1]

He deserves a 100% pay cut for that tik tok video dance

 

[luuked]

Sounds more like he was told to volunteer that money back to the owners.

Somehow...

Roger will survive.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Noble gesture. Might have saved some jobs.

Hes still a prick.

 

[Joker]

Please forgive me...I do NOT believe a word that emanates from this pathological liar's big mouth. If he is making 0$, then you can be sure Mike Kensil is now making 40 million dollars and ten cents.

 

[Bill Lee]

Now the NFL can send Kraft the million dollars they stole from him during DefameGate...

 

[Clonamery]

All the major executives of the world’s largest insurance agency system (Aon) have taken a 50% salary reduction through the end of the year. Example is the salary of the CEO in 2018 was $1.5 million but his overall compensation was $16.2 million. It is basically an empty gesture.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

He's made an absurd 200Million so still, F this douche

.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Don’t understand what the point of this was for him?

 

[NashuaPats]

He’ll probably still pull in $30+ million.

 

[Koma]

If Goodell reduced his pay to zero because he resigned from being commissioner, that would be a gesture I would applaud.
