Goodell made the announcement Thursday in his opening remarks at the first NFL Women's Summit, part of Super Bowl 50.

It is way past time to remove the NFL’s anti-trust exemptions.

Further proof of the ideological igloo that is Manhattan. These people literally have no idea and are merely competing in some sort of bizarre daisy chain for each other’s fleeting approval.

Just playing lip service to the feminists by offering a few low paying office jobs. If he was serious about gender equality, he’d require half the players on the field at any one time to be female. If they are good enough for infantry combat, they should be good enough for football.

Of course, they need a rule change to allow for time outs for breast feeding by players.

I used to be totally against the Soviet-era Gulags but I’m beginning to se the value of reeducation camps!

There goes the NFL! Ooooh, concussions! Sort of like if Sarah Palin was appointed Secretary of Energy and busied herself dismantling it.

Yes = Ask another question.

No = Thank you for your time.

Agreed.

How does Goodell retain his position at 40 MM per year?

He's a total idiot.

All that NFL teams care about is $$$ and "can they win?".

We're long past the black head coaches and black QBs questions.

Diversity for diversity's sake? Feh.
