This could have easily been avoided had Goodell fixed the problem right from the beginning.

Well what do you for a lousy $41 million. You can’t expect him to think of everything

At last week's meetings, owners discussed making a dramatic shift from paper game tickets to all-digital ticketing, which will be in place for the 2018 season, sources told ESPN.

I'm glad they're going to go with this, in order to handle the unprecedented rush of fans who are eager to pay through the nose to by told that America sucks, by a bunch of millionaires.

NFL's attention has been diverted to handling the anthem issue, which has affected TV ratings, merchandise sales and the country's feelings about football.

That's the take away ...

I never thought Trump’s opening anthem salvo was a coincidence. Back in mid August Goodell was coasting toward a five year contract extension. They were putting the finishing touches on it. Then Trump spoke during a big rally about firing those who disrespect the anthem. Totally derailed Goodell’s glide path to a second term. No way it was happenstance.

These owners are complete idiots if they choose to renew a contract for an imbecile who’s caused an unprecedented loss of revenue.

What business model follows this logic? Socialism 101?

Maybe he should have asked Benghazi Clinton if he could borrow her balls as she wouldn’t be needing them due to her failed presidential bid.

Taxpayer-funded stadiums

Taxpayer-funded infrastructure around the stadium

Anti-trust exemption

Billionaire owners, millionaire players

This league is long overdue for a 1929 Stock Market crash-style correction.

It’s a shame Trump can’t fire Roger. He is the President. At the least, he should cause him to be fired.

Extension? He does remind me of a hemorrhoid.

“This could have easily been avoided had Goodell fixed the problem right from the beginning.”

Like hoping the “Three Black Female Congresswomen of the Apocalypse” ( aka Waters, Wilson, and Jackson-Lee) keep up their incessant moronic prattling, having the NFL owners keep Goodell is a “good thing.” Under his “leadership,” the NFL has nowhere to go but down.

The NFL is one tweet away from total destruction.

All Trump has to do is tweet that Goodell should be fired.

The wussy owners would then renew Goodell’s contract, assuring the league’s implosion.

It’s true.
Had this patsy Goodell done his job and put an immediate stand against this crap, there would not be this little to hell with the NFL thing.
So, since he has shown himself to be an incompetent ass, give him a raise and extend his contract.
Oh yeah NFL, that;s the way to lure fans back.
NOT.

IF HE’D FOLLOWED HIS OWN LEAGUE RULE BOOK HE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT. But he chose to straddle the fence.

I WON’T ENFORCE IT!
