Goodell should be ashamed of that statement.
Goodell: What you did was sick!
How about it Commissioner Goodell?
Roger Goodell has been saying that for the last two years.
So for that reason alone, the league's commissioner Roger Goodell should be looking into following in MLB's footsteps
and scrapping the NFL's exemption.
This non-profit organization has paid Roger Goodell well over $200 million in salary during his turbulent time as commissioner of the NFL.
It played more as an example of Roger Goodell's justice working,
with Rice getting to explain that he's changed and ask for an opportunity.
And if you're curious,
the non-profit NFL League Office paid Goodell about $35 million in 2014
and he's made a little over $200 million since taking over as Commissioner in late 2006.
(As a bonus, if they did give that up, Goodell would no longer have to report his salary,
which pops up in the news every now and again as a matter of significant controversy.).
But now that I no longer work for Rupert Murdoch,
I can plainly state that every word out of Roger Goodell's mouth about legalized sports betting for the past 20 months has been nothing but lip service.
