Time to cancel Roger Goodell at $29 Million a year.

Goodell is doing his best to destroy the NFL. I've never seen a commissioner before him that I was convinced hated the sport over which he ruled.

As an aside, what is the need for a Commissioner in any professional sport? It started only because of the Black Sox Scandal, but what is the need for it now?

I'm not sure he hates football, but he's a NYer so he caters to the media, and he aims to change the game (he was injured and couldn't play football in college).

Thank you so much for reminding me of the original reason for Commissioners! (I am a woman). $29 Million a year is an outrageous salary no matter what's entailed.

And I thought Gary Bettman was bad.
