Here's a free clue, Goodell: It's your CUSTOMERS who pay all of you, not the players. If your players aren't happy with rules, there are plenty more who would happily take their places.
You've lost this customer for good, FWIW.
Heres what I conclude from this. The NFL has decided they have less of a problem if they lose this segment of their fans. The players are happier. The MSM will rally to them. The SJW class will back off on their critisism. They hope to remake a newer hipper NFL. Who needs a bunch of largly aging White Guys in Flyover Country?
