[QUOTE=Nanners]best case scenario goodell is an incompetent idiot
worst case scenario goodell is a scumbag and a liar
neither scenario is particularly good for his future as commish of the NFL[/QUOTE]
Until it starts hurting the owners Goodell's job is safe.
Now if women manage to organize boycotts that hurt the NFL, then he is screwed.
PS. Goodell made 40 million + in 2012, damn wish I was commish of the NFL.

For comparison, Jamie Dimon made ~$20M last year.
the NFL is so damn successful

[QUOTE]The National Football League season begins on Thursday night with two teams playing on national television. It doesn’t really matter which teams (Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks) or what channel (NBC). Tens of millions of people will be watching. The NFL is the most popular show on TV and arguably the last totem of American mass culture.[B][B] Last fall, 34 of the 35 most-watched programs on TV were NFL games.[/B][/B] That doesn’t include Super Bowl XLVIII, which set a U.S. viewership record of 111.5 million.[/QUOTE]
:wtf: Not only the most popular sports league in america, but the most popular television show.
[QUOTE]In a memo to owners, the league’s compensation committee justified the more than $44 million in pay for its current commissioner, Roger Goodell, as “appropriate given the fact that the N.F.L. under his consistently strong leadership continues to grow and is by far the most successful sports league.” He has served as commissioner since 2006.[/QUOTE]
Goodell is making crazy money
[QUOTE]The Packers’ annual report, meanwhile, showed $187.7 million in national revenue last year. That’s the team’s equal share in the league’s national TV revenue and a grab bag of money called “NFL Ventures” that comes from the league’s cable network; collective merchandising, licensing, and sponsorships (excluding the Dallas Cowboys); production house; and digital properties.
Multiplying that $187.7 million by the number of teams puts the shared NFL revenue pot at just over $6 billion. Most of that money is from national TV deals, and the number will grow with the new $275 million Thursday-night package sold to CBS this year. Ventures revenue, however, is the most rapidly growing, according to John Vrooman, a Vanderbilt University economist who tracks the NFL.[/QUOTE]
$6 billion in just tv revenue, probably higher cause it excludes the cowboys, who choose to keep our own tv revenues and not share in the NFL pie
[QUOTE]That leaves more than $3 billion in local, unshared revenue between the 32 teams to get to the NFL’s total of roughly $9.2 billion. Most of the local revenue comes from ticket sales, which are split 60-40 for each game between the home and visiting team. On average, each NFL team generates about $100 million in unshared money. (The Packers claimed $136.3 million last season.)[/QUOTE]

It wouldn't take a boycott, as soon as a couple sponsors drop the NFL like they did with the clippers then that's when they'll vote him out.
[QUOTE=fpliii]Why would he hide the fact that they'd seen the video?
Was he pressured by owners? Or was he trying to use not seeing the video as a justification for the short suspension, which he figured was fine at the time he handed it down?
His job shouldn't have been at risk in the slightest, but now everybody seems to be saying he won't survive this. :facepalm[/QUOTE]
This thing has been so unbelievably blown out of proportion, as is every media sensationalized story in this day and age, it is disgusting. I know seeing a video of an act like this can be pretty damning, but what exactly did people think happened?
It was no secret prior to this madness over the video that Ray Rice punched her in the face, committing an act of domestic violence. People saw the video of Rice carrying her around and trying (and failing) to get her to stand up.
What the hell did they think happened? It was never a secret that he punched her in the face. So, why has this video dominated the 24-hour news cycle for the past three days?
And, I don't think Goddell is lying. I think he has been an awful commissioner and I won't be sorry to see him go, but this holier than thou act that the media pulls off any time the opportunity presents itself has become very transparent to me. Yes, it is completely possible that the video was sent to the NFL offices and it never reached Goddell's office.
But, he has already been essentially tried and found guilty by ESPN, NBC, MSNBC, etc. I'm sick of the news dictating who is a good person and why and who we should all despise.

That's not going to happen--the NFL reached 81% of US homes last season and had a total viewership of 205 million. This isn't Duck Dynasty or even the Clippers we're talking about. The NFL is a behemoth.
[QUOTE=bagelred]NBA Commissioner - Jew
NHL Commissioner - Jew

NFL Commissioner - Gentile
The problem is obvious...rely on the gentile, this is what happens. :facepalm[/QUOTE]
Clock's ticking on this one. Bud's retiring at the end of the season and his successor is a cath-o-lic.

It could. It only takes one big sponsor.
Arrogance. Plain and simple.
Because all he really cares about I'd money.
End of story.
Money. Period.
[QUOTE=christian1923]It could. It only takes one big sponsor.[/QUOTE]
And some other sponsor will step right in and pay out of their ass to advertise during NFL games. What you're suggesting could never happen unless every player, coach, owner and administrator and maintenance man who works for the NFL stood up as one on national television and said in one voice "F*ck America, women, Jews, blacks, Muslims and gays. We just killed a hospital full of cancer patient children because they're useless. Also, heil Hitler." If that happened, I give it a 50/50 shot that Americans would stop watching NFL Football.

Yup.

the truth is sexism is far more acceptable than racism is in 2014.
Especially in realization to american pro sports where its disproportionately black.
If sterling had said some stuff that was pro domestic violence, he would probably still have his team.
When money > integrity, shits usually happen.
