It’s worse than that, because they are most certainly not dumb people. They’re doing it on purpose.

By keeping Goodell they have condemned the NFL. This is the ultimate in socio-economic Darwinism. They are the dinosaurs and we are the comet.

Good riddance.

Here’s to an empty Super Bowl, plunging ad rates, and tv ratings in the crapper. Cheers!

Since Benson was mentioned I’ll add that he recently was involved in a lawsuit over mental competence. I believe he won but I think it was more cause he had a previous will.

I stopped watching the NFL after the 2nd or 3rd game of this season - right after the Steelers kept their players in the tunnel for the National Anthem -- except Villanueva, a Ranger vet, who came out and stood hand over heart. The Steelers had the gall to get after him about breaking ranks with the team.

I've kept an eye on the slow-motion disaster that is the NFL's self destruction. I've been hoping for a ray of sanity, an end to the disrespect, so that sometime - maybe as early as next year - I could go back to being a fan. I would like it if the players stood respectfully for the anthem because they wanted to. I'd settle, maybe, for them doing it because they were told to and that rule was enforced. That's not going to happen under Goodell's ah "leadership."

I can understand the players acting and actually being as stupid as they apparently are. They got where they are by physical prowess, obviously not mental acuity. The owners actions (or lack thereof in letting this BS go on) is truly baffling. As someone else pointed out, in a few years the NFL will be used in business schools as a case study in how to destroy your brand.

The negotiations with Goodell are just the latest example. Why are they even talking about extending his contract? Why wasn't he summarily fired months ago? The notion of actually extending his contract, letting him continue to destroy the business is incredibly stupid. The idea of actually increasing his compensation in any way is insane. But the level of compensation and perks he wants are just literally mind boggling. I don't understand why the owners or their agents - when presented with Goodell's demands - didn't simply burst out laughing and walk from the room. Seriously, how could you keep a straight face when presenting those demands or receiving them? How could they even entertain this notion any longer than it took them to catch their breath from laughing?

As I said, I've been waiting, hoping for a sign I could return as a fan someday. If the NFL extends Goodell's contract, let alone rewards him with even a fraction of his demands, I will box up my Steelers stuff and turn my back on the NFL forever. Whether that box gets put in the basement, the trash, or burned is TBD.

Heh, the players are not exactly Mensa members either.
I good many of them probably have trouble signing their names.
But they all know EVERYTHING about social justice.
