Goodell ain’t goin’ nowhere. As inept as he’s become publicly (I don’t recall him having an image problem earlier in his career), Roger has overseen growth of the NFL both in revenues, media reach and as a now-global brand. Bottom line: His problems haven’t prevented of the 32 teams who employ him from gaining hugely in value. He’s a bumbling cash cow.
Wow, should’ve proofread that. Let’s try this one:

As somebody once said: " There’s no such thing as bad publicity – as long as they spell your name correctly ! "
Roger the Dodger was perfectly happy to be the villain in the never-ending soap opera featuring the New England Patriots and Tom Terrific. It kept the NFL in the daily news throughout the off-season. You couldn’t buy that kind of publicity !
A movie concerning concussion injuries to football players, however, is the ugly red headed stepchild that nobody wants. With parents adamantly arguing against football for their kids because of the head injuries, the last thing that the NFL wants is their dirty little secret exposed. Let’s not kid ourselves. VERY STRONG pressure was subtly placed on Sony pictures to ‘soften’ the blows of what was supposed to be a hard hitting films about professional player’s head injuries.
The fact that the gutless gorms at Sony capitulated, should come as no surprise to anyone. When money talks, Sony walks, man !

That the NFL is concerned with their image—-well, not surprising. Somewhat more surprising are many of the things they’ve tolerated.
