Goodell should be hung

Even if he is, which I doubt, he should be fired.

Darn - I thought this would be a chance to illustrate the difference between hanged and hung. But nobody responded. sigh

Hanged has a very specific meaning. It applies to a human suspended by the neck from a tree. He/she is hanged. If it's an object, a non-human, it is hung. A piñata, even if it is in the shape of a human, it is hung.
