According to the NY Times, Goodell is expected to order Jerry Jones to pay millions of dollars for the crime of speaking out against Goodell.

Only time will tell if this will actually come to pass. We will see if NFL supports free speech for everyone, or only for people that Goodell agrees with.

It wasn’t the speaking out. It was the threatening to sue to stop the contract negotiations he had already voted to allow to happen. He engaged the lawyers, and made a public spectacle.

If you attack the king you’d better kill him. Jerry Jones didn’t kill him. Not that Goodell didn’t deserve to be attacked, not that his compensation for abysmal performance isn’t disgusting, not that the NFL isn’t going to hell on a hand truck, but now comes the part where Goodell exacts his retribution.

I Have watched no NFL (or NBA) games for over a year. Do not miss them. Looking forward to MLB games this spring.

I have to admit, I never thought I’d see Jerry Jones losing to Roger Goodell. What in the world happened to those owners?

Couldn’t it be countered that Goodell’s actions in accepting fake social justice outrage instead of promoting football was detrimental to the league? I mean, just look at his actions as compared to TV revenues.

This really is insane. Let's see: Goodell allows the players to behave in a way that damages the NFL and is causing a massive loss of revenue.

Goodell fines Jerry Jones for pointing this out.

Yeah, makes sense. The NFL can't die fast enough.

And by voting to keep him the other league owners have given Goodell a free pass to do whatever he wants.

I don't understand why the other owners are taking sides with Goodell. He is the reason why so many long time fans are disgusted with the NFL. Jerry Jones is a fine owner looking out for his team. He is also justified to have a negative opinion of Goodell and the continuation of this clown as NFL Commissioner

They got sucked into the progressive SJW Borg somehow and I’m sure it has to involve money, otherwise they’d know they were about to lose their collective shirts over declining ad revenue and ticket sales. So who’s paying them? Have they gone full fascist? Can’t be our own government, not with Trump at the helm, can it? Soros? It’s surreal, even more so than the same thing happening to NASCAR years before. The networks just avoid showing empty stands and go on about their business as if it’s just as popular as ever.

if I were a sponsor I would take legal action against the league for purposely devaluing their product. Their ads now reach less people, last season and in the future. To me it’s fraud.

Yeah he’ll get it. The NFL, like the other leagues, has plenty of rules about going against the shield in public. First rule from The Godfather, never disagree with family in front of strangers. Normally NFL owners are good at keeping in line, especially once Al Davis got too old for drama, but the rules are there and the fines can be steep.

The owners who sided with Goodall over Jones will regret that decision if they already don’t. Goodall did serious damage to the NFL brand and he will continue to do damage as long as he stays the commissioner.

This is the New NFL. Kinder, gentler sport with a heart.

How can a conservative support an operation that is dedicated
 to pushing dubious social causes?  That ain't sports.  That's a mass sashay.
