Well, now that the dam is cracked, it will be pouring out soon.

And according to some, it is all Goodell's fault.

Maybe with the climate of Domestic Violence recently, the NFL should have been ahead of this. But...who wants to plan for the worst case scenario? They did put out seminars, they have given players information, and they did their best to inform players on alternatives.

But did they really have a plan?

Were you ever abused by an NFL player?

Maybe if you count all the tears cried for the decades of horrible Falcons football.

Does it even matter whose fault it really is anymore?

 

I have a hard time imagining Goodell not taking a fall here.

Doesnt Nike use child labor in their far east sweat shops to make their products ?  The irony here is huge.

 

from September 14 common dreams web site

 

 

The multi-billion dollar sportswear company Nike admitted yesterday that it "blew it" by employing children in Third World countries but added that ending the practice might be difficult.

Nike attempted to present itself to its shareholders in its first "corporate responsibility report" as a touchy-feely entity established by "skinny runners" and employing young executives who worried about the environment and the level of wages it paid.

The mere fact that Nike has produced such a report was welcomed in some quarters, but its main detractors, including labor groups such as Oxfam's NikeWatch and the Clean Clothes Campaign, said they were not convinced.

Philip Knight, the company chairman, clearly stung by reports of children as young as 10 making shoes, clothing and footballs in Pakistan and Cambodia, attempted to convince Nike's critics that it had only ever employed children accidentally. "Of all the issues facing Nike in workplace standards, child labor is the most vexing," he said in the report. "Our age standards are the highest in the world: 18 for footwear manufacturing, 16 for apparel and equipment, or local standards whenever they are higher. But in some countries (Bangladesh and Pakistan, for example) those standards are next to impossible to verify, when records of birth do not exist or can be easily forged.

"Even when records keeping is more advanced, and hiring is carefully done, one mistake can brand a company like Nike as a purveyor of child labor"

[hdevonxz]

Yea he definitely needs to just step down, he's made like what 3 consecutive bad decisions in a row now?  Who else can get away with fuggin up that bad in that short time without some time of discipline at work.

[Mr. Scot]

The accusations this family is throwing at Goodell right now would put him in some pretty deep s--t if true.

How is that goodells fault again?

How is that goodells fault again?

 

The family alleges that loads of information and evidence was given directly to Goodell about violent act that Marshall had committed and Goodell ignored it all.
