Goodell makes money for NFL

I cant understand why they keep making this argument. Any swinging D1ck would have made money for the NFL. It was already the most popular sport in America, then you add the fantasy football phenomenon to the equation=HUUge eyeballs to tv sets. Paul Taglibue set this league up for success. Am I off base

There is a small but very powerful group of people in this country who have brainwashed many people into believing that anything you do is morally justified as long as you generate a profit.

what is the moral quandary here though?
I think it is that they've lied, doubled down and they've lied to us for years about a great many things...retaliatory punishments and now I even think fixing games to punish players/teams isn't out of the question
the brushing aside of tomlin's deliberate attempt to cheat in a game versus bounty gate
pot smoking is worse than violence (ray rice could've hit a bigger dude for all I care)
lies, lies, lies, PR smear, redskins, bounties, spygate, refs, DUIs, battery charge, dog fighting,
the NFL used to be about football
I don't think the moral dilemma is that they thought 2 games was a good punishment, unless viewed through the prism that josh Gordon got 16 games.

Better yet can anyone come up with anything this guy has done that has made the NFL a better product. What am i missing

got the deal done with labor agreement and is trying to steer the NFL through the concussion lawsuit.

He should watch the tape with all the holding.
Let me be the commissioner, I'd do it for $250,000 a year.

I'm not sure getting rid of Goodell will solve anything.
They will likely replace him with someone very similar.

Sure, any swinging D1ck would have made money for the NFL, but I also think that if the owners had someone else waiting in the wings for the job, that they KNEW would be better for them at making the money and improving the brand than Goodell is, I think Goodell would have been forced out over the slightest little minor trifling faux pas, a long time ago. Picking a new commish is a huge headache for the owners. It's like picking a Pope only worse.

But he's responsible for the strain with players. That's why the deal was so dificult

maybe but there will always be a strain with commish and labor union at time of deals, its the nature of the beast fighting for different causes. Goodell owned them at negotiations, owners didn't forget that.

By forcing teams to play another 60 minutes of brutally physical and head traumatizing football on just 3 days rest. Yes, he is definitely concerned deeply about player safety.

Not really relevant to lawsuit settling.

He's not going anywhere. Laugh at him looking like a fool and move on.

Remember now what a blank social boffin the NFL strapped to its face to begin with: a Senator's son from a safety school who quite literally never worked anywhere else but in the sports job he got directly out of college. Roger Goodell's resume is a hollow blandishment of institutional servitude. He fought in the arbitration wars; he coordinated the events. Calendars were heroically arranged.
