SouthernJet Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 very good chance this happens........ ------------------------------ Support is growing for a campaign to draft Condoleezza Rice as Commissioner for the troubled National Football League (NFL). American football, the country’s most popular sport and a bastion of macho male culture, has suffered one of the worst weeks in its history with three high-profile stars facing accusations of domestic violence. The crisis has led to calls for Ms Rice, a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, to step in replace the beleaguered Roger Goodell as Commissioner. As far back as 2002 Ms Rice described becoming NFL Commissioner as her dream job. Earlier this week the Washington Post carried a piece by a member of its editorial board calling for Ms Rice, 59, to take over from Mr Goodell, who has come under fire over his handling of the domestic violence scandal which has engulfed the sport. Politicians and women’s groups were enraged by the NFL’s decision to impose what they regarded as an inadequate two match ban on Ray Rice, the Baltimore Ravens’ running back who knocked his fiancée out cold in the lift of a New Jersey casino. He belatedly received an indefinite ban after footage of the incident was released by TMZ, a gossip website. Mr Goodell insisted NFL officials had not seen the incriminating tape when the original ban was imposed. This has now been disputed and several senators have called for him to step down. “If he lied to the American people, he has to step down,” said Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat senator for New York. The Mr Goodell’s plight was worsened when the indefinite ban was attacked by Rice’s wife – the victim of the original assault – who took to the social media to back her husband. The Washington Post did not mince its words in condemning Mr Goodell and backing Ms Rice. “Roger Goodell has made a mess of it. Time for the former Secretary of State with an intense love of the game to step in and save the NFL,” the Washington Post wrote. Others to advance her cause include Karl Rove, George W Bush’s deputy chief of staff. “I think Condi would succeed in any job she had, as she did when she was national security adviser, Secretary of State, Provost of Stanford, etc,” Mr Rove said. “If it’s a job she wants, with her encyclopedic knowledge of the sport and passion for the game, I have no doubt she’d be great.” With the row over Rice showing little sign of abating the sport was hit by two more allegations of domestic violence On Friday one of the biggest names in gridiron, Adrian Peterson, a running back with the Minnesota Vikings, was indicted by a Texas grand jury for beating his four-year old son with a stick. He was “deactivated” – or dropped from the team over the weekend as was Greg Hardy of the Carolina Panthers. Hardy was left out from the side after being found guilty of assaulting his girlfriend by a district judge in July, although her is appealing the verdict.

bitonti Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 People see the shield and think it's a flag. This is not politics. There is no voting out of Goodell. This man is doing the job that 31 billionaires want him to do. That's his constituency. Not the fans. He's a meat puppet for the owners. Who by the way, as a group, aren't very nice people. They aren't going to fire Roger Goodell unless the money train stops. That's the real transgression. Half the league could be in jail the other half could be suspended, the owners won't care as long as the checks keep coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't think Condee is the replacement. But Goodell will go once the 31 billionaires realize that the people who follow and spend on the sport which adds to their wealth want Goodell gone. If they resist they will be met with falling fan following numbers which will make the decision that much easier for them. Goodell will be given a great golden parachute but if this keeps in the news cycle any longer he is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
