Former Papa John's CEO John Schnatter has recently came forward claiming that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder came to him in an attempted to get Roger Goodell fired. Per Pro Football Talk...

quote:
"Snyder and Jones hate Goodell,” Schnatter said. “I said, ‘No, this is not my job to fire your Commissioner. He works for you.’ Remember, Goodell is a coward, and he is incompetent. And he’s just lucky."

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, Indra Nooyi [former CEO] with PepsiCo, and Dan Snyder all called me — several other folks — about Goodell’s conduct and the way he was handling this. Jones and Dan Snyder . . . wanted Goodell fired. This is like . . . the first of November, end of October. They called and said, ‘You need to take this guy out. You’re the number one sponsor of the league, as far as notoriety and acceptance and association. Everybody loves you, they love Peyton [Manning, a Papa John’s franchisee and sponsor]. We hate Goodell.'”

Papa John’s is the number one sponsor of the league?… damn. I must be paying zero attention to branding.

Funny how everyone loved him until he said something in a particular context and the feels of the weak.

It is from Snyder, Kraft, Rooney Family and The Italian Mafia in Baltimore.

Where does RG get his clout? Seems like everyone, including the fans (who boo him every draft pick announcement) hates him. He is like a bad petty that won’t make like a tree and get outta here.

People may hate him but the NFL is absurdly popular, makes a lot of money, and is a relatively well managed league. $$$ talk

The NFL makes money but a chimp could run the NFL and make money. Put Roger in charge of the MLB and let’s see how he does.

RG gets $50ish million/year to be the “bad guy” for the owners….. The owners have a scape goat when things go bad and RG takes the heat…… Give me $1 million/year and I won’t mind if every NFL fan boos me.
