How big a paycut would you take?

[Mr. Scot]

Think you'd take a 2.25 million dollar pay cut? :eek:

Roger Goodell apparently would, and is, by his own decision.

NFL Commissioner Takes Pay Cut

Now, given that he's still making over nine million a year, I can't exactly weep for him. This is also the first I can recall seeing a specific figure attached to the commissioner's name (and that's quite a salary he's got there, wow) :sosp:

Still, in the age of CEOs taking raises and stock options while their companies go under and lay off thousands of "little people", this could be seen as refreshing.

So in your mind, is this a "good move" or a "so what"?

Go check out Selig if you wanna see an inflated salary...yeesh

Hoping the players will take his lead?

Selig is a glorified owner's puppet who's probably done as much or more damage to the sport baseball than anyone in history. Any salary that he's paid over 50 cents is too much (and I'm being generous with the 50 cents).

But, love him or hate him, Roger Goodell is a legitimate power broker. What he says, goes.

I'm curious as to how people will see this story.

It is my favorite thing Goodell has EVER DONE as a commish. Nothing else is even close.

When management walks the walk, it's easier for employees to do the same. And it is a big thing in leadership too. Good for him (that may be the first last and only time I say that about anything he has done...lol).

More folks like him need to do the same.

I heard of a local health care CEO lay out program cuts and such. All about equal to HIS pay. ONE guy.

He can cut it down to 1 mil and still live a great life and keep others on the books.

This is where we are at now.
