RamblinMan99 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 He's probably going to get all that money back in his salary anyway. He's just looking for someone not to hate him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 All jokes aside though because this is awesome, I also decided to not make 40 million dollars this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it could be split equally amongst the 32 teams to help offset staffing/labor hours for game day employees in the case of limited/no fans, or I could see the NFL donating it to various charities. I think this is Goodell setting the tone for player salary cuts. This was a PR move, especially if the $$ just sits idle in the NFL bank accounts Assuming the NFL hits the field this year, potentially with empty stadiums (Ticket sales, concession, parking, etc, etc, etc) accounts for a huge amount of revenue. Revenue that is used to calculate the salary cap. If Revenues are down (TV still makes up a huge portion, which is why they will still play in empty stadiums, or a reduced schedule) the players may be asked (or required) to take a hit. Wouldn't look goof if NFL Execs are still making their bread, while expecting players to take a haircut, especially from a PR point of view Edited April 29, 2020 by TheGame316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why he is doing this. You can't ask players to take pay cuts accordingly (which will be coming) if games are canceled if you at the highest levels aren't willing to cut your pay as well. I have zero doubt Owners have asked him to do this with the intent possibly of compensating him back money lost in the future. He is setting the precedent, which is about to occur if the worst happens. A shorten NFL season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 How bizarre is it that he even makes that much? I mean, the obscene incomes of athletes the world over is explained/excused by the fact they generate revenue. Does Goodell generate twice as much revenue as Tom Brady? Or 4x as much as Gronk?

49erurtaza Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I don't think Goodell is good but also don't think he's terrible. I think Adam Silver is the worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Good for him. I wouldn't have done it. Doesn't matter how much money I made in the past, and I who cares what anyone else thinks. It's an extra $40 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer... yes. TV Deals, Advertising, PR, taking pressure off the owners, creating fanbases worldwide... he’s made the league very profitable. He doesn’t get nearly the credit he deserves because some fans loathe him. Edited April 30, 2020 by Louis Friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Good move by the commish. I agree with it 100%. This has probably been the best month of his career in terms of PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post and there are a couple of different fan groups that loathe Roger - mainly because he doesn't work for us, he works for them Some are against Roger the Sheriff, Judge and Jury Some are against Roger the Safety Officer, enforcing the don't hit anybody too hard rules Some loathe Roger because he always chooses more cash/commercials over the quality of the viewing experience There's more. But the crazy thing about it is that he's not really responsible for any of it, all he does is the owners bidding as you noted above. He's just the frontman that takes all the crap. The current NFL is not necessarily a better game, but its certainly more popular and profitable - and that's what his bosses want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
