Newsflash: THE REST OF THE NFL OWNERS AGREE WITH ROGER GOODELL.
Also, even after the evidence, you still have the Patriots owner denying the balls were tampered with. Really? GTFO!!! |
I don't understand why people forget or don't understand that Roger Goodell works for the owners. Anything that he does, I would think, would have to be agreed upon by the majority of the owners, even when teams get punished.
Goodell is not some type of dictator that does whatever the hell he wants with the league. In my eyes, Goodell is probably the highest paid scapegoat in the country. I'm not saying he doesn't have his own mind and makes his own decisions, but at the end of the day there has to be a significant number of owners that backup his decisions. And I'm sure this includes tough team punishment like Spy/Bounty/Cap/Deflate "gates" we've seen.
