This may not be a popular opinion here, but Jerry losing this battle is probably very good for every team in the NFL....believe it or not, including the Cowboys.
The reason being that if any owner can strong arm to get his way against the ruling majority or especially against the agreed upon set of rules between them, the NFL is no longer a fair competitive league that follows its own rules.
No owner- not Jerry, not Robert Kraft, not the Rooney family, not the Mara family, not Jeffrey Lurie...not any other owner should be able to “go rogue” and just get what they want, when they want. These greedy, arrogant men who own these teams are used to getting their way, almost all the time.
But if you’re going to have a fair and competitive sports league that is not based on the whims and egos of a bunch of bully billionaires, then Jerry accepting the fine was appropriate and right for the NFL. I’m sure that either Jerry was told that in no uncertain terms or he came to his senses and realized he is not the de-facto commissioner.
As much as I can’t stand Goodell, Jerry needed to be corrected here.
