Roger Goodell: Approve or No?

Stealthman · 09-06-2011, 11:45 AM

Part of me likes that he's trying to prevent the NFL from becoming an organization of thugs. But another part of me thinks that he has too much power and legislates morality with a holier than thou attitude. Do you overall approve or not approve of his leadership and the decisions that he's made concerning the major issues (i.e. fines on players for hits, Aaron Pryor case, Starcaps, Jim Tressell case, etc).

I like most of what he's done, just not all.

I'm OK with the fines. The players wanted a safer NFL, and they're getting exactly what they asked for.

I think his approval rating was very high before the lockout. Since then it's dipped some. I'm still undecided about him being judge jury and executioner.
I think he's doing a fine job of keeping a good image for the NFL.

approve.

saintfan · 09-06-2011, 01:26 PM

I approve. Much of what he has done is frustrating, but I'm (a) easily frustrated and (b) does anybody really think some other guy would do much different/better?

No to much power for one guy and when the player asked him to delegate some of his power to other people. He flat out said no. Didn't even think about it. And to answer b I think Strato would do a much better job lol. Maybe Papz.

So he can be a bit of a dick (can I say that?) - Oh well.

I would like to see a third party group/committee that had in mind what was best for the game & the fans. (I know - no way in this world or the next. But it is a nice thought - like Congress actually accomplishing something)

The less Big Government does, the better off we'll all be.

A do-nothing congress would be a dream come true.

Which by the way was the original intent, but whenever congress want power it doesn't have it just votes itself a new law granting itself that power. And we just sit back and watch it happen.
