Not the massive sponsorship that has come along for the NFL in last decade?


You do know that sponsorship was big before Goodell became commish, right?

This might be the understatement of the year
my point was that if everyone is waiting on him like he's the President of the United States, maybe his view of himself is not actually inflated. It is indeed ridiculous though.

Well, Goddell is responsible for the sponsorship. I would say that he was successful in that. That's a big part of success, right?

Sponsorship deals aren't possible unless people watch.

Which goes back to the cultural perspective we were on earlier, and I don't see Goodell as responsible for that.

Not like it is now. Bush alone pays 200 million a year to the NFL.

My perspective, growing up mostly with Tag's NFL is that it's been a big part of the culture for a long time. Sunday afternoons with the family all over the country. The biggest difference between now and then? Technology. Everyone has HD tv's, streaming internet, a million channels, online fantasy football, scores on their phone, etc.


Fair point. I think that did help grow its base, though. When one of my fantasy football leagues is almost 50/50 men and women, you know something is different. Even in that respect alone.

Even if the NFL was always on an rise, always at a peak, it still takes some skill to manage that to keep it going. Regardless of his stupid decisions now, he had a few years of good management.

Did he alone manage to make the NFL the #1 American sporting league? Of course not. That's not what i meant.

He apologized for his handling of the Ray Rice situation.

But he will fix it.

So I guess they don't need a CEO with that logic. Owners are wasting money.

are you really this stupid?

Sponsors have quit because of Goodell's actions recently.

I'm curious, how old are you?

Would it have happened without him? Was the NFL already on that trajectory as set up by economic pressures and the work of his predecessors? All he had to do was not frick it up, and he is indeed fricking it up a little. You can't say that things wouldn't be even better without him.

That is the argument against him as I understand it.

Looks like Roger has aged dramatically in the last few months.
