ESPN ^ | December 6, 2017

Posted on 12/06/2017 1:50:14 PM PST by detective

Roger Goodell has signed a five-year contract extension to remain the commissioner of the NFL, according to a letter obtained by ESPN.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the new contract would be worth $200 million over the life of the contract -- about $40 million annually -- if owners approve all the bonuses and all the incentives are met.

Heinz Field (home of the Pittsburgh Steelers) cost $250m to build in 1998 dollars. It opened in 2001.

Someone explain to me why the NFL can’t build their own frigging stadiums if they can pay for five years worth of this frigging pig. I’m all ears. Why did the NFL need welfare to stay afloat?

I am so frigging mad about this ... anyone that supports that league needs their head examined. It has become nothing more than an unwatchable version of “The Running Man”. WWF wrestling seems more realistic than an NFL game show.

Please, stop supporting this league if you haven’t already. You’ll find that there is so much you can get done on any given Sunday if you’re not wasting 3 hours or more of your life watching this trash.

Taxpayer-funded stadiums + felon/thug players + CTE + franchise relocations + Kaepernick + kneeling/disrespect + ESPN buffoonery + sponsor antsiness + attendance/viewership caving = NFL death

Can’t come soon enough.

Joe Girardi & John Farrell win & get fired.

Goodell presides over the train wreck of the former king of sports.

The NFL is a socialist model. This is what happens in socialism.

Goodell must have a lot of dirt on the owners. They sure act like he’s the boss and they’re the workers.

So ESPN,a network with half the viewership it had 5 years ago,is praising the rehiring of Goodell,who's responsible for the NFL's viewership being two-thirds what it was 5 years ago.

As Mr Spock would say "most curious,Captain".

The NFL is in decline. Goodell has done a terrible job.

...

Recently he’s done a terrible job. Before that he brought a lot of money into the NFL. No ethics or morals, but a tremendous amount of money.

The owners are going to regret this.

It will be like boxing, a niche sport for desperately poor kids. Which is sort of how it started.

Not too long ago, the heavyweight champ was the most famous athlete in the world. Today, even knowledgeable sports fans have no clue who he/they are. I sure don't. That happened in a generation. It can happen to the NFL.

Some years ago I remember Condoleeza Rice telling an interviewer that she would like to be NFL Commissioner after her government days ended. That might be a solution to the mess since most of the black athletes grew up doting on Momma/Grand Momma and would be more likely to respect her than a beefy privileged white Jewish guy. I doubt if she’d take any crap either.

“They clearly don’t give a hoot what the fans think”

They think they’ll make up the numbers by attracting more women and liberals as viewers. The idiot doesn’t realize that both of those demographics hate the game. While the NFL saw an uptick in women viewers, it *will* decline as more concussion information is released.

I hate the NFL. I really hope someone comes up with a league to compete against those frigging disgusting, vagrants.

They’re already programmed to hate her. It would never work.

We could see the meteoric rise of the National Powder Puff League or the NPPL.
