Roger Goodell's $44 Million Performance
 

"The NFL prominence came into being in 1960 by Pete Rozelle who hired filmmaker Ed Sabol. Sabol's work made football more of a patriotic sport than baseball.

Rozelle and Sabol's work was so remarkable that they both were inducted into the Football Hall of Fame.

Enter Roger Goodell, son of Republican Senator Charles Goodell a 1960's antiwar liberal.

About a year ago Roger Goodell hired Joe Lockkhart ,a Democratic political strategist and master at aggressive media manipulation, as VP communication.

Lockhardt is best remembered as President Cinton's press secretary and worked for Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis Walter Mondale and John Kerry.

The NY Times credits Lockhardt with crafting the NFL's message on the anti-anthem controversy, explaining that Lockhardt told NFL owners that talking about police brutality, is what real locker room talk is

So what does the NFL get for paying Roger Goodell $44 million a year? Under his leadership we have

-Concern over head injuries have eroded football's public support

-Goodell's mishandling of Ray Rice's domestic violence case

-Mishandling of the Patriot's Deflategate scandal damaged the NFL brand

-Now unending national anti- anthem protest

By Jason Whitlock co-host of Speak for Yourself Fox Sports 1.

Jason Whitlock asks "Is Roger Goodell deliberately pushing the NFL Leftward" Whitlock also explains NFL owners are patiently waiting for his contract to expire

I ask why has sports suddenly become political. People watch sports to get away from politics and to unite

The NBA is joining in with the NFL. The players no longer want the owners to refer to themselves as owners because that indicates players are slaves to owners. The players want the owners to refer to themselves and CEO's:D

OK -- so he's a Femo-Fascist idiot. May he thought he'd get more female viewers.

Once again, the subtext is Femo-Fascism.

"Russian Internet trolls are trying to gin up even more controversy over NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem, a senator said Wednesday — warning that the United States should expect such divisive efforts to escalate in the next election.

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) made the assertion in a hearing with the heads of the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center.

Russian trolls, he said, were cynically pushing both sides of the argument over whether players should take a knee at the playing of the national anthem before NFL games. Players have been doing so as a silent protest against police treatment of minorities, though critics — including President Trump — argue that doing so disrespects the American flag and members of the U.S. military."



Lawmaker: Russian trolls trying to sow discord in NFL kneeling debate - The Washington Post

PEOPLE......you are being used, not on every issue but this is why we need everybody to supply WHERE they get their information.

Most political forums (not all) require this.....it is SO IMPORTANT.

Some of these things are so dramatically simply lies and misinformation......you can attack the MSM all you want but your aim is very very very bad. Those who DO attack them have a motive remember that....

It has become political because our President, irate at the NFL personally for so many years has made it such........hate the protests but it was a very small thing destined to die before Trump.

"On three N.F.L. teams, nearly all the football players skipped the national anthem altogether. Dozens of others, from London to Los Angeles, knelt or locked arms on the sidelines, joined by several team owners in a league normally friendly to President Trump. Some of the sport’s biggest stars joined the kind of demonstration they have steadfastly avoided.

It was an unusual, sweeping wave of protest and defiance on the sidelines of the country’s most popular game, generated by Mr. Trump’s stream of calls to fire players who have declined to stand for the national anthem in order to raise awareness of police brutality and racial injustice.

What had been a modest round of anthem demonstrations this season led by a handful of African-American players mushroomed and morphed into a nationwide, diverse rebuke to Mr. Trump, with even some of his staunchest supporters in the N.F.L., including several owners, joining in or condemning Mr. Trump for divisiveness.

Julius Thomas, a Miami Dolphins tight end who had previously stood for the anthem, knelt for it on Sunday with several players.

“To have the president trying to intimidate people — I wanted to send a message that I don’t condone that,” Thomas said, echoing the opinion of most N.F.L. players. “I’m not O.K. with somebody trying to prevent someone from standing up for what they think is important.”

The thread was not about Trump. It is about Roger Goodell who has made over $200 million since becoming NFL commissioner. His antics are devastating the NFL.

We now have the NAACP claiming the Star Spangle Banner is racist and demands it be stricken from our society.

If it has escaped some we have liberal whites supporting blacks demands that we re-write our nation's history. This situation worsens by the day.

who will the radical liberals come for next?

These Russian trolls are very effective with dividing our house and in some respects it is falling.

The depths to which these spoiled coffee-klatch idiots will sink....

I beginning to wonder if some posters on this forum suffer from attention deficit disorder. I ask because the topic here was "ROGER GOODELL" and not one poster on here spoke to Goodell's performance and why . Why?
