[cardiackat88.]

Funny if you think about Hardys salary plus APs salary plus Ray Rice salary for the year...

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

NFL isn't a company and he's not the head of anything.

OK............Insert " Jag fan "gif.

[Sasquatch]

He made $44 million in 2012 and $35 million in 2013. That means his pay was cut 21%. That's a pretty big chop. 

[B.BERSIN]

Top 20 payment for a CEO?

[CRA]

I never realized how much money that man makes for degrading the game (from a competition perspective) and abusing authority. He makes almost 25% of an entire team's salary cap. Ludicrous.

Goodell is actually good at his job. Being liked by the fans isn't part of it

With the exception of bank executives involved in 2008 crash I don't get to much into salary shaming

[jtm]

Pretty typical for a CEO of a multi billion dollar company.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

so is defending goodell the cool edgy thing for 2015 or

[TN05]

Lulz. You think it's just a "league"? 9.5 billion in revenue and gets to sucker us all by not paying taxes.

And he is the mouthpiece.

They pay taxes. IDK why some people can't understand that.

Well that's one opinion.  I think the NFL would be just as popular without all his terrible decisions.  The boom of the NFL is as much a result of the drastic decline of baseball and basketball as anything else, in my opinion.  I think it'd be even more popular now if Goodell was actually doing a good job.  Being the commissioner of a successful venture isn't necessarily a direct cause-result circumstance.  But everyone's entitled to their opinion.

 

And on a separate note, I'm not surprised the commissioner of the NFL is making that much, I'm surprised someone who is doing such harm to his product is making so much.  That's what I was surprised about.

The idiot is grossly overpaid.

Apart from disciplinary issues, the changes that are happening in the game are not due to unilateral decisions by Goodell. They are voted upon by the owners after suggestions from different committees within the NFL. If you are going to blame Goodell, you should blame the owners as well as members of the competition committee who suggest these changes.

 

Unless you don't understand how the NFL works.
