Roger Goodell writes letter in support of criminal justice reform

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Because who understands the importance of due process and fair, proportional punishment better than Roger Goodell?

I hope he dies by falling into a giant vat of flaming acid, moments after the good guy escapes his death grasp.

 

[Sicilian]

"I wholeheartedly support the right of every person in America, of every race and ethnicity, to be tried, judged, and have his appeals heard by the same man who is accusing them."

 

[Deus Irae]

"If Texas/North Carolina/Xstate passes that law, we'll stop holding Super Bowls in that state"

"How dare the politicians interfere with our football games!"

"We're going to be interfering in politics even more!"


- Logic, NFL style

a truly magnificent example of the Peter Principle gone intergalactically wrong...

[TBR]

What a useless letter. It's full of slogans & banal platitudes.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Spoiler: Great to see Roger Wrestling with such issues

When the hometowns of our players or the 32 communities<<

So the Jets and Giants play in the same stadium but different communities???

Is this going to be a weekly thing now or at some point will we go back to keeping politics off the main forum?

Because aside from confirming my suspicion that all my least favorite posters here--for totally unrelated reasons--align very closely with each other one the political spectrum, I'm not sure what any of this is accomplishing anymore.

Yes, Goodell sucks, and I think anyone could've easily guessed who here is for and against criminal justice reform, and actually having that debate here is a Pandora's Box that I can't imagine many of us have any interest in opening.

I see this more as a "hypocrisy of Goodell" post than a political one. Lighten up!

Will he please just go away and go to Maine and never be seen again.

Goodell did a great job of killing my love for this league. The seats can't get empty fast enough.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

So a guy who was the judge, jury, executioner, and appealant for a draconian punishment for a crime that science says didn't happen, against a completely innocent man, penned a letter in support of criminal justice reform?

What's next? Are Woody Allen and Roman Polanski going to criticize Harvey Wienstien's actions? Opps, my bad (cue the Al Michael's apology)

Not to Maine! Keep him in Jersey where he belongs!

 

[Tuck]

Smart move by the owners. They must really want this kneeling thing to go away.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I don't want him in Maine. That'll bring that state's average IQ down.

 

[RobertWeathers]

From that letter, there is nothing honorable about the sender and it's receipients.
