Roger Goodell's Career And Accomplishments

1576 Words7 Pages

Career & Accomplishments

Roger Goodell had a history in the NFL long before he received the job as NFL’s new commissioner in 2006. Among his list of accomplishments is the fact that he’s been involved with the NFL since 1982 when he began as an intern. After working aside Lamar Hunt, the then president of the AFC, Goodell worked under Tagliabue, the NFL commissioner until Goodell succeeded him. Under Tagliabue, Goodell served as multiple talents including “director of international development and club administration, vice president of operations, vice president of business development, senior vice president of league and football development, executive vice president of business and football development, and executive vice president of business, properties and club services” (NFL, 2006). Once becoming commissioner, Roger Goodell did have a short list of accomplishments including aid “in expansion, realignment, stadium development, and international development” (NFL, 2006) of the league, as well as “launching the NFL Network and negotiations for the NFL’s television agreements and Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL Players’ Association” (NFL, 2006).

While he most definitely responds to and takes care of the needs of the owners of all NFL teams, it’s a known fact the NFL Players Association has mostly disapproved of his job as commissioner. In response to Deflategate, the NFLPA stated, “that the final decision “is more smear campaign than reasoned decision,” that is it “a propaganda piece written for public consumption, at a time when the NFL believed the transcript would be sealed for public view,” and that Goodell hoped “to validate a multi-million-dollar ‘independent’ investigation” (Florio,

  • The Rooney Rule: Underrepresentation Of Minority Groups In The NFL

    1402 Words  | 6 Pages

    In 2003, the Rooney Rule was put into effect in remembrance of Dan Rooney, longtime head of the NFL's Diversity Committee and owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then, the NFL has historically struggled to hire minority coaches and executives, despite about 70% of players being black (Neuman, 2022). The Rooney Rule was introduced to address this problem by providing more opportunities for minority candidates to be considered for head coaching positions. The rule ensures that each team must interview at least one, now two, persons of color, increasing the chances of people of color being hired. With this policy, the NFL aims to diversify the leadership of the league and address the issue of the underrepresentation of minority groups in such

  • Nfl Vs Cte Research Paper

    The NFL should research more on CTE and discover ways to prevent it. One way could be providing safety gear that could protect the players from concussions, which is a major cause of CTE. The NFL should also accept that there is a connection between playing football and getting CTE. Our brains are not genetically engineered to sustain an impact on our cranium, so players who suffer a concussion in a game should not be let back into the game until proper treatment is provided. Until this happens we cannot trust the NFL on anything

  • Rule Changes In The NFL

    658 Words  | 3 Pages

    Generally people think that the NFL should adjust the game, and its rules to increase player safety, statistics clearly show that too much adjusting has been done and the NFL is suffering because of it. Too many rules have been changed for player safety and the current changes being discussed, like getting rid of the kickoff, are going to far and the game is not like it was. Players sign contracts and are aware of the risks they put themselves at when playing the game of football at a professional level. Referees are throwing more flags and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, is handing out a record high of fines. These adjustments by the National Football League are going too far and some rule changes need to be reverted back to their previous rules.

  • Persuasive Essay: Should NFL Players Be Paid

    623 Words  | 3 Pages

    Have you ever wondered why National Football League players, known as NFL players, make so much money? I think NFL players should continue to earn such high salaries for the reasons that follow; they entertain millions, risk getting life altering injuries, and create loads of revenue. To put the second reason into perspective, getting tackled by a 300 pound defensive lineman is comparable to getting in a car accident at 30 miles per hour without a seat belt on (Wisconsin Trooper Association). That can happen to just one player upwards of 20 times a game. National Football League players, known as NFL players; deserve as much money as they get because of how they entertain people.

    Maurice Clarett filed a case against the NFL, arguing that its three-year rule acted as an unreasonable restraint on trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Act. On the other hand, the NFL argued that its three-year rule was shielded from antitrust scrutiny by the nonstatutory labor exemption. The district court favored Clarett making him eligible for the 2004 NFL Draft. However, the NFL requested that the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit hear its motion and declared that Clarett was not eligible to participate for the draft anymore.
