IMO, people act like Goodell has the authority to do something on his own, when they say: "why doesn't Goodell do this" etc., etc.
Yes, he's the point of contact for the league. But as you mentioned, it was more impactful for the former WFT employees to go to the owners' meeting.
Same with the media, they need to hound the owners, well at least those owners who made themselves available to the media.
