Goodell's Accountability

A different perspective:

The NFL was founded by businessmen to make money.

Not by fans of the game who wanted to see football flourish first and foremost. If the model for the NFL would have not been profitable there would be no NFL.

Roger acted the way he did (i'm presuming under a directive) to have something to fight against the one thing that stands to suck all of the profit out of the NFL.. Concussion law suits.

Here is the wash... It was at any cost, except financial. Black eye... damaged name... none of that effects profitability in the end. No matter how mad fans get at Goodell, they will still support their team, buy tickets, buy jerseys, etc. This was a minimal financial risk for the reward of having something to show a judge and jury that the NFL is doing everything it can to make the game safer.

We the fans have been suckerpunched... We took the bait.... We hate Goodell but not football or our teams... Goodell was the sacrificial lamb and he is taking all of the anger.. AS DESIGNED.
