According to the NY Times, Goodell is expected to order Jerry Jones to pay millions of dollars for the crime of speaking out against Goodell.

Only time will tell if this will actually come to pass. We will see if NFL supports free speech for everyone, or only for people that Goodell agrees with.

It wasn’t the speaking out. It was the threatening to sue to stop the contract negotiations he had already voted to allow to happen. He engaged the lawyers, and made a public spectacle.

If you attack the king you’d better kill him. Jerry Jones didn’t kill him. Not that Goodell didn’t deserve to be attacked, not that his compensation for abysmal performance isn’t disgusting, not that the NFL isn’t going to hell on a hand truck, but now comes the part where Goodell exacts his retribution.

I Have watched no NFL (or NBA) games for over a year. Do not miss them. Looking forward to MLB games this spring.

This really is insane. Let's see: Goodell allows the players to behave in a way that damages the NFL and is causing a massive loss of revenue.

Goodell fines Jerry Jones for pointing this out.

Yeah, makes sense. The NFL can't die fast enough.

I don't understand why the other owners are taking sides with Goodell. He is the reason why so many long time fans are disgusted with the NFL. Jerry Jones is a fine owner looking out for his team. He is also justified to have a negative opinion of Goodell and the continuation of this clown as NFL Commissioner

This is the New NFL. Kinder, gentler sport with a heart.

How can a conservative support an operation that is dedicated
 to pushing dubious social causes?  That ain't sports.  That's a mass sashay.

Did the Cowboys start a lawsuit against the League? I don’t think so. I thought it was just a letter-writing campaign. The 1997 NFL resolution calls for the reimbursement of the League’s legal fees by a team that brings a lawsuit against the League and then loses. As far as I know, that is not what happened here.

Hey Goodell, you’re way beyond the bottom of a deep hole you can’t get out of. Stop digging, dumbass!

Nah, never mind. Way past time for the NFL to go the way of the World Football League.

Goddell seems like a kook. But I don’t know much about the NFL business so maybe I am off base.

It does seem like his leadership is lacking as the NFL is taking a nosedive in fans.
