He’s the most hated person in the National Football League and there’s no end to his tyrannical campaign in sight. Yes, the megalomaniac has been the commissioner of the NFL since 2006 and each year he’s succeeded in bringing in a ton of money for the NFL. Although, each year it seems Goodell drops the ball when a new scandal arises. He’s always talking about protecting “the shield” or the integrity of the NFL, but most who have seen his actions believe he has become an embarrassment to the league.
Where can we start with this hypocritical authorize figure? Some suggest he’s killing football, others believe it is already dead. His failure to punish domestic violence abusers in a consistent manner and his censorship and denial of long-term research for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are hallmark cards of his reign. It’s only a matter of time before Goodell crashes to the ground. We just hope the NFL doesn’t implode with him.
How can a billion dollar company allow this man to keep his job is beyond us. So, if you truly hate the guy, then you’ll love this listicle. If you still think he’s the best thing for the NFL, we hope we can change your mind.
15. Threatened the Pro Bowl
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
In an immature act, Goodell once put a gun to the NFL’s Pro Bowl and threatened to pull the trigger if the players didn’t perform better. In 2012, Goodell said the level of playing needs to be better but it can be seen as a hypocritical statement for someone who wants to protect the health and safety of the players. The same tone about the competition came up again after the 2016 Pro Bowl. Yes, we all know the Pro Bowl isn’t a real football game, but ending it could mean players lose out on money, sponsorship, and deals surrounding the event.
