At first, I thought the pandering to women was to increase viewership by getting women more interested in football. That's fine, if he'd appealed to women who might be interested in watch the men do their guy thing without trying to change it.

Instead, we get gal referees, doing commentary, even those pink ribbons last year. These are issues of the liberal left women's agenda. They're never going to like football. They have a real problem with guys doing guy things.

Next step, make the NFL more tolerant of diversity, less violent, more gal-friendly. Result....Goodell alienated those who liked NFL football just the way it was but will never win over those who will never like football, if it even resembles the game.

Add to that this year's fiasco. Race was never an issue in the NFL before. Now it is. The rules don't apply to blacks and confidence is waning that all of the black players hold white players in the same high regard as they hold "brothers".

As I type this, I can't believe nobody said "enough" before it got out of control. Now, it does seem that the inmates are running the asylum they were enabled to create.

Possibly the time is ripe for a new professional football league to compete against the NFL?

I am not “Nobody” and I said enough in the seventies when Oakland and Pittsburgh ran their little hit squads for several years.

Over the decades I have seen more and more people admit that the thug culture supplanted the culture of sportsmanship at that time.

I don’t think people really understand what is happening. The spate of wife and girlfriend beatings by NFL players and the players with concussions being publicized is forcing Goodell to create a distraction.

This distraction will kill th NFL and Goodell seems ok with it.
