NFL Has SERIOUS Problem as GREED is Destroying the League

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Goodell is a douchebag.

He's done nothing but make the NFL look like the WWE. Easily the worst commissioner in the big 4 sports in my lifetime.

I've seen so many $#$! calls by refs, so many stupid rule changes (we still don't know what pass interference is or what a catch is), so much woke BS, and so much greed that the NFL almost doesn't qualify as a legit sport.

And all this man can worry about is peddling the game on pay services or internationally while giving the middle finger to older fans like me. There is a tipping point where this is not going to work and I think he's getting close.

I love the Saints (being a Louisiana native) and will always want them to win, but I don't take the NFL seriously any longer. I think Goodell is as big of a script writer as HHH - and a much less likeable one...

I give my passion to the NHL where the guys make a whole lot less coin and beat the hell out of each other for the love of the game and for the chance for the Cup - not for ESPN highlights or insane contracts.

It doesn't matter one iota what you or I think about Goodell. He doesn't work for us. I despise the guy for the false bounty claims alone. But, like it or not, he is making money hand over fist for the owners AND the players and that is his job. The game is more popular than it's ever been. That is a fact.

I think it's great that you are passionate about the NHL. I personally don't care for it myself. I rank the major sports as for enjoyability in this order -- NFL, PGA, MLB, LPGA, NCAA football, WNBA and then the others if nothing else is available, including the History Channel.
