Go big or go home - I hope it’s the latter.
He puts delusional dictators to shame.

He is so full of himself!

I hope he is not around next season. Such arrogance and greed.

Is the NFL still a ‘non-profit’?

50 mil a year and, if reports are to be believed, access to a private jet for life? It is comedy of the absurd. He has proven himself to be an utter failure. He should have hat in hand, be begging for another chance, offering a 50% or 75% voluntary pay cut. He is insane, certifiable.

I thought this was a free market which is supposed to result in disciplined markets, i.e. successful people get rewarded and failures don't.

Silly me.

What does the NFL create that’s worthwhile?

Nothing.

It is a huge waste of time.

Sports used to be about teamwork, sportsmanship, and honoring God and country.

Now it is about big paychecks to lowlife, serial abusers who are arrogant, greedy, selfish, disrespectful, dishonorable, unprincipled, and unpatriotic.

The NFL has been moving that way for years.

You’ve got hyper-sexualization being pushed in the ads and half-time performances.

You’ve got them driving out conservatives and Christians like Rush and Tim Tebow.

You’ve got the very public endorsement non-discrimination based on “sexual orientation.”

Everywhere the superbowl goes, the worst trafficking of underage prostitutes follows as they cater to the ultra-rich who seem to be addicts of the worst vices known to humanity.

The NFL has an unfair monopoly of professional football that needs to be eliminated.

...”Full title: Amidst Plummeting Ratings and Popularity, NFL Commish Reportedly Asks for $50 million and Private Jet for Life.”...

One of the most ridiculous traits about our culture is the idolatry of sports. When I think of what it's true contribution to society is, I come up blank. Some things roll around in my mind, such as someone, years ago, telling me that she had never known anyone who couldn't read but, yet, was playing football on scholarship in her college. I found myself wondering whether the young man or woman seemingly gifted in physics, chemistry or mathmetics was similarly blessed with a full scholarship to that college. I sincerely doubt it, even though it is the scientists who will ultimately cure cancer and figure out how to truly solve the worst problems of suffering that we face. I find it disgusting that anyone is receiving $50,000,000/yr plus other perks for managing a game which is for recreation only and, which, potentially may be brain damaging for most of it's players, shortening their lives and robbing them of their mental acuity. How I wish the madness could stop and reality could take over. Surely, we can recreate some other way to relieve life's stresses, at a much reduced cost.

Lol! The commissioner of a game show wants $50M per year. Taxpayers have subsidized commissioner’s game show’s studios to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars over the past two decades.

If these scumbag owners pay these kinds of salaries to this deadbeat, liberal trash, those stadiums need to be paid for by the league. This is outrageous.

lifetime health insurance for his family,

and use of a private jet, for life.

I found a very impressive substitute for the NFL - Darts! Believe it or not I began watching the 2017 championship matches and I was so totally impressed I will scour the web and you tube for more. Even my 13 year old grand daughter and her mother took a keen interest in watching yesterday as we sat on the floor playing 500 rummy and shouting along with the crowd at the tournament. What a great afternoon instead of watching football. Never go back to the NFL until players show the respect that our flag REQUIRES.
