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!
