Career & Accomplishments

Roger Goodell had a history in the NFL long before he received the job as NFL’s new commissioner in 2006. Among his list of accomplishments is the fact that he’s been involved with the NFL since 1982 when he began as an intern. After working aside Lamar Hunt, the then president of the AFC, Goodell worked under Tagliabue, the NFL commissioner until Goodell succeeded him. Under Tagliabue, Goodell served as multiple talents including “director of international development and club administration, vice president of operations, vice president of business development, senior vice president of league and football development, executive vice president of business and football development, and executive vice president of business, properties and club services” (NFL, 2006). Once becoming commissioner, Roger Goodell did have a short list of accomplishments including aid “in expansion, realignment, stadium development, and international development” (NFL, 2006) of the league, as well as “launching the NFL Network and negotiations for the NFL’s television agreements and Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL Players’ Association” (NFL, 2006).

While he most definitely responds to and takes care of the needs of the owners of all NFL teams, it’s a known fact the NFL Players Association has mostly disapproved of his job as commissioner. In response to Deflategate, the NFLPA stated, “that the final decision “is more smear campaign than reasoned decision,” that is it “a propaganda piece written for public consumption, at a time when the NFL believed the transcript would be sealed for public view,” and that Goodell hoped “to validate a multi-million-dollar ‘independent’ investigation” (Florio,

Maurice Clarett filed a case against the NFL, arguing that its three-year rule acted as an unreasonable restraint on trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Act. On the other hand, the NFL argued that its three-year rule was shielded from antitrust scrutiny by the nonstatutory labor exemption. The district court favored Clarett making him eligible for the 2004 NFL Draft. However, the NFL requested that the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit hear its motion and declared that Clarett was not eligible to participate for the draft anymore.

The NFL should research more on CTE and discover ways to prevent it. One way could be providing safety gear that could protect the players from concussions, which is a major cause of CTE. The NFL should also accept that there is a connection between playing football and getting CTE. Our brains are not genetically engineered to sustain an impact on our cranium, so players who suffer a concussion in a game should not be let back into the game until proper treatment is provided. Until this happens we cannot trust the NFL on anything

With this policy, the NFL aims to diversify the leadership of the league and address the issue of the underrepresentation of minority groups in such

These adjustments by the National Football League are going too far and some rule changes need to be reverted back to their previous rules.
