No salary cap for Goodell

[JDM]

There are plenty of players who make half what he made this year in most years. Is twice the guys you manage really that obscene?

People get upset because it's the age old struggle. Sure he works for Billionaires, so do the guys cleaning toilets. Everyone from the Commish thru the players and coaches, to the guy cleaning toilets works for billionaires. They are all important. They all want a piece of the pie. If there is no league, there are no stadiums, team names, logos, no jersey sales, no tv contracts for players to put on their display every week, etc.

If there are no players, there's nothing to put on the fields, nobody to put on the jersey, nobody to put on a show. No coaches? nobody to turn these athletes into a watchable show, no tv contracts to watch a bunch of guys running around hapazardly. We can do that in our backyards.

No toilet cleaners? Nobody is going to fill that stadium if they have to wade thru a thousand gallons of piss and shit to catch the game.

All these guys want their money and how do you divide it up? There's a lot to go around as everyone above the people that keep a stadium operating seem to make a pretty good living, maybe they could give us fans a break and lower ticket prices? Going to a game is great, having to drop a grand between hotel, food and tickets for the family sucks

Who's right?

Hey, leave the Oakland Coliseum out of this.....

He pays taxes, but the NFL doesn't. It's tax exempt.

Only the NFL HQ is tax exempt. Every NFL owner pays taxes.

I take issue with how much Goddell makes because of one reason:

It is more than twice as much as the highest paid player in the league!

That is fucking ridiculous!!!!

How? In any other business you'll be hard pressed to find the CEO doesn't make significantly more than anyone else.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

I'm forgetting the names and the salaries these CEOs makes, but Goodell's income seems to be line with other CEOs of billion dollar revenue corporations.

No problem with with it.

Bud Freaking Selig makes like 28Mil for being the comish of baseball.......and Godell is reigning over a sport that Dwarfs MLB...so 44 mIl sounds about right to me!!!!!

And Bud Selig is the worst commissioner in the history of professional sports. Totally agree with you.

 

[JDM]

Goodell's pretty bad too.

Goodell's pretty bad too.

The NFL is running like a Swiss watch despite an army of lawyers trying to take it down. Goodell's doing marvelously.

 

[AngryNiner]

NFL makes a ridiculous amount of money. at 44 mil. you could argue he is underpaid. This is coming from somebody that doesnt much like Goodell, btw.

 

[NinerSickness]

I forget where I heard this & if it's even accurate or not, but I heard that about 10 years ago the top guy at Disneyland (or Disney World; forget which one) resort made like 90 million dollars a year.

Why? That's how much he was worth.

You're not worth what you deserve, you're worth what you can negotiate.

You're not worth what you deserve, you're worth what you can negotiate.

As proven by every Redskins Free Agent signing.

Well said.
