Goodell & the owners v. Fans


the butch

Recommended Posts

With the Brady ruling, Goodell's image obviously took a hit.  The media sentiment has been that the owners love Goodell because the league is making money.  At the very same time, the media says that the NFL is sui generis, and makes it's own money regardless.  If that's the case, getting rid of Goodell would be irrelevant seeing as how the consensus is that people will always watch.  Further, if Goodell is out, it seems that the brand would grow even more considering the general public hates him.  IMO, it seems that the only thing saving Goodell's job is his effort to expand the NFL abroad.  That's money, and the owners listen to that.  What's the Huddle's opinion?

Well written and equally thought out. I'm not sure what the targeted debate is though?

The thread, more or less I guess, is meant to be a Panthers forum fan discussion on Goodell's teetering [as I see it] position as head man of the NFL.  Free commentary is encouraged.

general public hating Goodell doesn't prevent them from making money...

he he is a face to hate....but basically instead of directing the hate at Richardson, Jones, etc.  Goodell gets most of it.  Owners like that.  

He is growing the game and the NFL is more profitable than ever.  He also despite the court rulings last from an owners perspective has done a great job against vs the union.

i think the owners are very pleased overall.

RG is judge, jury and executioner........as it should be.

union signed on to it...... Courts should not be involved.

The thing with the courts, they can step in when the CBA--ANY CBA not just the NFL and the NFLPA's--is violated.  An arbitration award is nothing more than a contract.  That contract has no legal effect until the legal system gives confirmation.  The only reason arbitration exists is because the legal system needs to divert flow.  This CBA and the resulting negotiations wouldn't even exist if it were not for the court system allowing it.  So, to say the courts should not be involved is missing the point that the courts were involved in the first instance and have tried ever since to not be.
