Around the NFL: Week 3

[CRedskinsRule]

Man you really can't stand when your man gets criticized. Its not "the players" or society. It is the individuals who
a) hit their wives and children
b) covered up the actions in an attempt to minimize the damage to their teams
c) glossed over and aided the coverups in order to minimize the impact on the sport.

Society in this case is actually not acting inappropriately IMO which is highly unusual. There is very little hyperbole that I have seen, and no calls for massive crazy legislative movements. Simply outrage at violent actions and an apparent cover-up that followed.

But what is it you want from him ,did he make mistakes , yes ,never said he didn't, did he admit to them ,yes he did .Yet you act like you didn't know this sort of thing went on and that is what I have a problem with ,many of you want to hang him out and make him the poster boy, sorry ,won't wash .What are you going to do boycott the NFL ,not watch a game ,not shop at a store ,not buy a beer . Fans don't do that for the NBA ,MLB etc ,why is the NFL different ?

Your ability to create impressive strawman arguments shine again.
First you make the argument solely about Goodell- it is not. As Smoot laid out there are several depths to the wrong decisions and actions that deserve objective criticism and sanctions.
2nd you ask the second most useless question on the internet "What would you do" . The point is Goodell, and many others throughout various levels of the NFL were in positions to act and failed.
Finally you raise up as the supposed only option one of boycotting the NFL. Surely sponsors pulling promotions affects NFL behavior and one reason the sponsors did that was because of possible consumer backlash. But even more importantly, this isn't something should require fan action and saying we can't boycott thus nothing more should be done is a simple fallacious argument.

Total number on my ignore list as of now: a giant 1
