NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed a House committee today that either its interns don’t know how Google works or the Congresscritters are unaware real life isn’t like the Washington Post, where public temper tantrums usually bring about the desired staffing results. Goodell’s information impartation took place before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which for reasons unbeknownst to all, save perhaps its members’ campaign managers, has assumed upon itself the role of overseeing and reforming NFL team owners, specifically Washington Redskins Commanders owner Dan Snyder. Who could most likely use some oversight and reform, but since Congress has solved all other problems facing the nation, now it’s his turn.
The revelation came when Squad member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI, otherwise known as The Wonderful State That Gave You Gretchen Whitmer) came up with this immortal exchange. Even when sourced by Squad-friendly ESPN, Tlaib’s knowledge gap as to how the NFL works is astonishing.
At one point near the end of more than two hours of testimony, Goodell was questioned by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan), who asked whether Goodell and the league are “willing to do more” to punish Snyder.
After initially asking whether he would recommend Snyder’s removal as owner of the Commanders, Tlaib followed up by asking Goodell: “Will you remove him?”
“I don’t have the authority to remove him, Congresswoman,” Goodell responded.

Really. WTF?!
LOL!

Why do we even have a dog in this fight after Jack DelRio’s $100,000 fine from the Commanders for expressing a conservative political sentiment?
We don’t. I want both sides here to lose.
I wish her well in destroying the NFL
She can fix the NFL by changing to the Nationalized Football League.
That way a government Kommissar can fire all the owners.
Thanks — I don’t really follow football and thought that I might have confused some of the parties involved.
I certainly enjoy watching the infighting. I just hope the woke don’t destroy *everything* in the conflagration.
The state of Indiana shall henceforth be called Commanderana.
We should know from Goodell why an NFL coach was fined $100K for having an opinion.
