After extensive polling and listening to the concerns of the fans of professional football, the NFL has decided to give the people what they want and keep Roger Goodell as the league’s commissioner for the foreseeable future.
Despite some initial pushback, primarily from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, the NFL’s Compensation Committee just alerted owners that the new deal has been finalized. Exact terms have yet to be reported, but the deal is said to be worth up to $200 million.
There are few commissioners as universally hated by the fans as Roger Goodell - but you can’t ignore the fact that the business of football has thrived under his tenure.
