“Progressives always circle the wagons. Conservative, OTOH, well I think we don’t wan to go there.”

Yeh, first, if the Compensation Committee should be stupid enough to force Jerry to sell, it would blow up the NFL. There would be civil war amongst the owners for sure. Who knows how this would play out? Besides, the Cowboys are now the highest valued pro sports team in the world. Thereby, Jerry could put a price on the Cowboys that would be so high that there may not be any bidders who could/would touch it. And, if Jerry should be forced to sell and a new owner was found Goddell would in effect “own the league” - which the owners would rue the day they caused this happen. I predict that ain’t nothing gonna happen. Goodell, will probably get his juicy contract but he will be damaged goods from that point forward...

Progressives always circle the wagons. Conservative, OTOH, well I think we don’t wan to go there.

That's because progressivism is a religious cult. It doesn't operate on, nor require, rational thinking, moral principles, or personal integrity. You are either a faithful member of the cult or you are an outsider.

Conservatism is, on the other hand, not a an actual cohesive group. It is the just the default category for those people who don't buy into the progressive religion. There isn't necessarily a binding sense of belonging for conservatives. You could be a Boston dock worker who just doesn't think that two men should get married, and you are, by default, a conservative. You could be a California high-tech guy that thinks that health care would be better run privately and you would be, by default, a conservative. And these two types of people may not really have anything in common with each other.

The funny thing is that, in both of these cases, that one issue could be the ONLY thing that really defines you as conservative, but because it is forbidden by the progressive religion, you will never be accepted by the progressives. Progressivism requires 100% unquestioning obedience. It is the reason that a lot of people who might have considered themselves liberal 20 years ago have become Trump supporters, or born-again conservatives as of late - because progressivism has revealed such extremities in its actions that former members can't follow it any longer, and thus become ostracized by it.
