Roger Goodell reportedly requests $50 million salary, lifetime private jet...
Either he's lost his mind, this report is false or he really doesn't want the job anymore.
Roger Goodell reportedly requests $50 million salary, lifetime private jet in contract talks NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly has requested nearly $50 million per year in addition to the lifetime use of a private jet amid contract negotiations with the league. Goodell, whose proposed contract with the NFL currently is undergoing an approval process, asked the league’s compensation committee in August to raise his salary from $30 million to $49.5 million per year, ESPN reported Sunday. Goodell also reportedly asked to use a private jet for life, and also requested lifetime health insurance for his family. The commissioner currently is embattled with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who has threatened to sue the NFL if negotiations regarding Goodell’s contract extension are finalized without approval from all NFL team owners. An unnamed NFL owner told ESPN that there are “several owners in this league who don’t make $40 million a year.” The owner added: “That number for Roger just seems too much. It’s offensive. It’s unseemly.” Goodell has made headlines in recent months for his handling of league players protesting during the national anthem ahead of NFL games. He said last month that “we want our players to stand” during the anthem, but stopped short of imposing a rule for players to do so. One team owner, regarding the possibility Goodell possibly would leave his position, said “the problem” with the NFL is “no one is talking about games anymore.” “It’s about concussions, Jones vs. Goodell, [Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension], the anthem. No one is talking about football. It’s just killing the game,” the owner told ESPN. Another owner told the sports network that “Roger is defiant,” and they don’t believe he’ll “take a pay cut” or resign as commissioner of the NFL. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/1...act-talks.html |

I do wonder if Goodell bets the games.

50 million and a lifetime private jet
Damn I wonder what the penalty is when the commissioner is obviously violating the substance abuse policy

apparently $50M / year is the going rate to ruin a sport.

I really hope that the league let's him walk. Surely they will. Right? I mean, the league is all about profits and Godawful is currently overseeing the league drop drastically in popularity. That's not good for profits. Why on Earth would 32 billionaires vote to keep a baffoon like him around? Get rid of him and bring in someone with a brain.

Goodell doesn't make the rules. The Competition Committee makes the rules and the owners vote to pass them. Goodell doesn't decide which teams can move and which teams have to stay in their current cities. That's up to the owners. Goodell doesn't negotiate TV deals. Goodell doesn't deal with advertising (that's up to the networks). There is no "drastic drop in popularity". That's complete bullshit. TV ratings are DOWN across the board due to steaming and DVR options along with cord cutters. NFL games are still, by a wide margin, the biggest draw on TV. Goodell is just the face of the owners. A new face will change nothing. |
