Roger Goodell is the Real Deal
With a cloud of labor disputes starting to grow over the NFL the league’s Commissioner, Roger Goodell, is not afraid to make his position known on controversial labor matters. Speaking earlier today, Commissioner Goodell called the NFL’s current rookie pay scale “ridiculous.” For those of you who are not familiar with this scale, it guarantees rookies who have just been drafted more money than individuals drafted in their same spot the year before. In the end this means that top rookies are getting paid over $50 million, most of which is guaranteed, despite the fact they have never played a down in the league. The fact that Commissioner Goodell acknowledges this problem and is actively seeking to remedy it, warms my heart. I know that the NFL is in good hands for the years to come. Now I only wish the NHL had found a Commissioner with half the ability of Commissioner Goodell.
