Come with me on a journey . . . rabbit holes and all.
But please as a rule of thumb leave all preconceived perceptions behind.

But I will be putting it in its good and proper order
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
The Goddells
Many here have been perplexed and greatly confounded to even offer a contract to the biggest stumbling fumbling Commissioner of all time.
But you never stopped to ask who are the Goddells you couldn't get past Rodger
Father replaced the assassianated Kennedy. (You know the one who was gonna get revenge) He was appointed not elected for those of you keeping score
. .
comes from a family that includes a maverick U.S. senator, (Gifted not earned)
The most famous Goodell is Roger's father, Charles. He gained national prominence as a Republican U.S. senator in the late 1960s, . . . . Charles practiced law for two years after leaving Congress, and then became chairman of DGA International, a LOBBYING FIRM (influence)
Charles went to Yale Law. (ELITE PRESTIGE). . . and two of his sons have become successful lawyers.
Bill Goodell
Bill Goodell the oldest in the family of five boys, is chief operating officer of Maverick Capital, Lee Ainslie's $9 billion hedge fund firm.
Bill Goodell has dabbled in politics and political influence . . .In 2012 and 2013, he was CHAIRMAN of the Managed Funds Association, the top hedge fund lobbying group; his STILL on the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
1st off that's not Dabbling, that is owning Washington, and 2nd lobbying isn't a part of politics. Its above it. It scatters the bread crumbs for the greedy seagulls
He is also co-chair of the Environmental Defense Action Fund, the lobbying arm of the Environmental Defense Fund.
(From Wikipedia) Environmental Defense Fund or EDF (formerly known as Environmental Defense) is a United States–based nonprofit environmental advocacy group. The group is known for its work on issues including global warming, ecosystem restoration, oceans, and human health, and advocates using sound science, economics and law to find environmental solutions that work.

Michael Goodell, (His not as successful in his own right, he's more of a happy lover)
second-youngest brother, Michael Goodell, is a Pilates instructor in the Los Angeles area. His longtime partner, Jack Kenny, is a Hollywood writer and producer known for creating the short-lived NBC series "The Book of Daniel," a controversial show loosely inspired by the Goodell family.
Hollywood producer. Woah SCORE
This just demonstrates the level of generational entitlement. Intern to commissioner. Fairytale. More like contrived fantasy story. He's locked in and ain't going no where.
But this brings us to the 2nd part of our story.
The key to the cipher.
Football is not classified as a sport. It is classified as strictly entertainment ( no different then WWE)

He also notes, with evidence, throughout the book that no fewer than 26 NFL team owners have or have had continuous and developing relationships with the gambling world, most notably the Rooney, Bidwill, and Mara families all getting their starts as Bookmakers for established mid-west crime families and buying their NFL franchises with moneys earned from gambling
There is only another "sports" organization that I can think of that follows this, the WWE. Levy also argued that the league markets its products and merchandise as a whole to promote the NFL as a whole.
Professional sports is the only industry without ANY federal oversight. Therefore the league can do and go as they see fit,
They pick and choose who will win its all scripted
With all the closed knit comroderie. It becomes even more amazing to see hown Jerry run Rough Shot over the whole NFL. With all the marketing battles he won how many times has he stuck it to the league. That in reality is one entity. A league whose endings and out comes have been scripted. He ruled the league with the most talent. How many rimes was it decided the Cowboys would lose in the 90s. But Jerry would still win.
With all the bad calls and the Elliott situation It really makes me wonder if we aren't still paying for Jerry's audacity. The same ancient NFL families are running things now. They are the ones backing Goodell. And Goodell is attacking Jerry.
Ill put it this way. Just think back to all the time you wasted away from your loved ones. Hoping and praying that your favorite team would win in your favorite sport. Wasted. Because you are watching a soap opera that has been scripted to benefit gambling and those who profit from it. Its not a sport its entertainment.
So from this point on don't act as if the best team will win. . That's not what this is about. Its about dubbing you out of your money. Because you believe a delusion. Give it up and move on. Its not sport and they are all bad actors
RIP NFL
And the delusion that brought so much Joy to my life.
You will be greatly missed. But I can't help hating you for the liar you turned out to be.
Oh and another RIP will be this

Good bye funny trophy case
