Re: Ben Watson Calls Out Goodell
Watson pens a very apropos open letter - what everyone misses is that Goodell is a glorified bureaucrat, not a Leader...
Saw this quite often growing up in a service fraternity among our adult leadership... |

Watson, it the perfect spokesperson for this crime against the sport. The man is respected in and out of football. He is passionate about things he believes in and speaks eloquently about injustices, whether they occur on and off the football field. I hope he becomes the raven in Goodell's brain, constantly whispering, ever louder, "Never More". |

Re: Ben Watson Calls Out Goodell
It's quite possible that the filing of the lawsuit against him and the NFL effectively "gags" him.

Re: Ben Watson Calls Out Goodell
Quite possible, but then he could at least make a statement to that effect. Saying absolutely nothing is basically saying "**** You and the Mardi Gras Parade you rode in on."

Re: Ben Watson Calls Out Goodell
"From the locker room to Park Avenue" -- what Watson is really saying here is, "WE THE PLAYERS have integrity, do you?" That is actually a very powerful statement. He is going from the locker room right to the cushy and posh NFL offices of the top executive and calling them out.
