This is true because the owners are also worried about future lawsuits taking money out of their pockets. The real, long-term problem is not about lawsuits, though. It's about the integrity of the game, and a huge factor in determining this is how the commissioner handles conflict. Goodell has already shown that he has a tendency to over-react. I understand that we need to do what we can to prevent concussions and other unnecessary injuries (i.e. chop blocks), but to fine someone for "tackling too hard" is like punishing a NASCAR driver for driving too fast.
On top of that, it seems like his desire is to leave legacy that changes the way the game is played - example: cutting out kickoffs.
All I can say is this guy needs to GO!

If only the players would have stood their ground, this ******** wouldn't hold all the power right now. Yeah I'm mad at Goddell but some of the blame needs to be given to the NFLPA too

ALL of it really goes on the PA if you do the reverse engineering and go back to "how did Goodell get his power over the players". The NFLPA gave it to him through the CBA.

Re: Why shouldn't Goodell get fined??

Players have alreadt stated they don't trust him... That means nothing. Goodell is hired by the owners to run thier busniess. In order for Goodell to be fired He'd have to piss off more than 1 owner. However other owners could see this as a big problem and fire him.... but fact is too many people continue to watch every week and unless you're a Saints fan.... this has been old news since April.

truth is noone cares so i honestly think this will be swept under the rug.
We won't get our money nor our picks back and SP will be out until the Super Bowl.

You don't think the players' lack of faith in the leader of the league is needed?

I disagree.

I know that the owners of at least three teams (Saints, Cowgirls, Redstains) sure don't have any love for the ginger hammer

It's not much, I know, but its a start

Nope, its not needed. Goodell is not the players leader. He is the administrator of the league. The players need faith in their coaches, and that is where it stops. Goodell is so far removed from their local chain of command and leadership he is not even thought of. He is perceived as a corporate CEO and those guys are well... just suits in New York.

Example: I was in the Army and Desert Storm/Shield, I needed to have faith in my leadership (Section Chief/Platoon Sergeant/First Sergeant). I didnt need to have faith in George Bush (President), Dick Cheney (Secretary of Defense), etc... Division Sergeant Major and Commander were about as high as I cared about, but the leadership that was needed was in my general AO every day.

How many employees or corporations give two craps about their CEO or look to him for leadership or inspiration? Virtually none in a company the size of the NFL.

Correct, I would be willing to wager he would have to piss off at least 17 for the vote to pass to get rid of him, and usually the required vote % in situations like this require more than 53%... usually its along the lines of 75% or greater.

Godhell should lose his job over this because the owners have to be upset about the way this has been handled.

"If" the owners were "upset" during any part of this they could have stopped it or replaced him right then and there.
