Though NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to have the solid support of many of the league’s 32 owners, the group is prepared to act against Goodell, potentially considering his dismissal, if the investigation by former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III concludes that Goodell was guilty of willful and egregious misconduct in the handling of the Ray Rice case, several people familiar with owners’ views said Thursday.
“He’s been a very good commissioner and he’s done great things for the league,” a high-ranking executive with one NFL team said. “The presumption is that he’s telling the truth and the investigation will demonstrate that. We’ll go by the report [generated by Mueller’s investigation]. If the report says something different, we’ll take the appropriate action.”

I detest the NFL and Goodell, but to be happy about his scalp being delivered to the PC jackals validates their position.
Was Goodell in the elevator too?
Let me get this straight: Ray Rice will eventually play again, but Roger Goodell won’t? /S
I agree with the PC crap.
I began to drift from caring about the NFL after Goodell began to bad mouth Rush Limbaugh when he was thinking about investing in a team as an owner, but Goodell was sooo happy that that Fergie girl from the Black Eyed Peas "music" group became a co-owner of the Miami Dolphins. This girl wet her pants on stage, but that didn't bother Roger Goodell...she was qualified to be a co-owner, but Rush Limbaugh wasn't.
I drifter further away as the NFL started having Obama promote their games...on one or two, they had him kick off the "Are you ready for some football" stuff....then they booted Hank Williams Jr....of course the other stuff you talked about...
The Latino thing doesn't bother too much, though....that was just an attempt to get more eyeballs.
But the overtly political stuff was too much. And now, apparently, misogyny is cool with the NFL.
Is that Jennifer Lawrence?
How about from now on the NFL makes all players wear high heels for the month of September to recognize the issue of domestic violence.
Can I be commissioner now!
I agree with what you state here, I can’t stand Goodell either. But as bad a Goodell is...Rice should have been prosecuted/persecuted, not Goodell. Goodell did nothing to break the law. But because our laws can’t go after Rice (and will refuse to push the issue because he is black), because the stupid woman not only wouldn’t press charges but went and married the twerp; society needs a punching bag, a sacrificial lamb, to exact vengeance on a third party to satisfy their morbid idea of justice.
“....egregious misconduct”?
Is that when the NFL looks the other way at typical black conduct, racism, crime and thuggery, and in this case - beating the shizit outta your girlfriend in an elevator?
The NFL. National Felons League.
It will be supremely ironic that the commissioner who was despised by players for his strong-arm discipline would ultimately go down for being too lenient. Shows what happens when you bend to the whiners.
This whole thing is ridiculous. The player married his victim, there was essentially no legal penalty as he plead no contest for first offense, and the league dealt with the issue more significantly than other domestic violence cases. I liked Godell in the beginning, but soured on him when I realized he’s a politically correct fool along the way. I don’t really care if he survives this or not. Part says he deserves it for his massive caves. Part wants to see NOW and the idiot players mad that he stays.
The lame-stream media pc crowd is making certain the agenda moves ‘forward’ to where one not inside the elevator of domestic violence is made to be the scalp pursued if a player is held to account. No advice for Goodell and everyone knows we must punish those decided upon by media reports. It is the pc thing to do.
Fry Rice. Oust Goodell. Shut down the NFL. Greedy owners paying felonius wannabes to fight on t.v. Sheesh, haven’t we evolved beyond this yet? Is this another ratings ploy for the greedy owners of these concussioned slaves?

Where’s my soap opera?

The egregious act was commited by the local DA who gave Rice a pass while throwing the book at some poor single black mother from Pennsylvania with a concealed carry permit visiting Atlantic city for a party. Tells an Atlantic city cop making a traffic stop she has a PA CC permit which is not recognized in New Jersey and he hauls her off to the Atlantic City slammer and is facing 5-10 mandatory. Under the same prosecuting attorney and judge who handled the Rice affair.
yes
Put aside misconduct. Shouldn’t he be ousted now, prior to any investigation, based simply on gross incompetence? This is a PR disaster even if he didn’t intentionally do anything wrong.
I didn’t think a commissioner could be worse then Selig or Stern,but this guy was!
