Obama on Ray Rice: "The way it was handled, also indicates that the NFL was behind the curve…in sending a clear message"

When you get bitch slapped by Obama its time to find over things to do with your life.
It would almost be like if you are a college football program and you get beat by Savannah St.

These NFL owners are idiots for keeping this clown.
He is making the whole league look stupid.
This is going to come back to bite them.

The negitive press is growing by the day.

When the President of the United States is calling you out that says something.

When are these idiot owners going to realize that the NFL is succeeding not because of Goodell, but they are succeading despite Goodell?

Chopper, do you have a problem with Rice playing again in the NFL?

What the NFL should do is fire Goodell yesterday and hire Silver.
Silver would leave the NBA in a heartbeat to take over the NFL.

Chop....

As usual.... you da Man! Agree.

I would add.... I think in some way Rice is lucky for another reason that idiot boy Goodell is in charge.

Goodell's dumb-assed leadership on the thing has taken lots of the pressure and focus off Rice. The vast ignorance of Goodell has become the story..... not what Rice did.

ok so why the big hard-on for Goodell? It sounds like you just dislike the guy perhaps for coming down so hard on your Saints a couple years ago? Rice punches a woman in the face knocks her out and you are willing to forgive and forget but you want Goodell's head.

I think nearly everyone agrees he could have handled it better. Overall I thinks he's done a good job.

It could be part of what Chop is saying.... is that.... a trained ape could run the ship and make a crap load of money for the league. The NFL is top dog when it comes to any form of entertainment.

But.... when the chips were down and something important needed to be handled..... Goodell failed miserably and made the league look stupid.

ok I bet he probably wished he handled it differently. But surely you can see my point? Rice knocks out a woman cold and there seems to be no problem to forgive him and allow him to play but Goodell must go? Just seems inconsistent.

Why don't you just accept the fact that the Saints got what they deserved for paying bounties? Goodell is the man.

Goodell showed he is a crooked shitbag. He appears to have lied about "what" he knew "when".

He had a bone to pick with the Saints or was just using them as an example (totally wrong)

Bounties are old as sports and very common even in NCAA or even high schools.

Goodell is scum but he ain't going anywhere as long as the owners keep getting $$richer and $$$richer.

The two situations aren't the same. Ray Rice beating his wife is moral issue. Rog creating a PR nightmare for the NFL is a how good is he at his job issue. You don't "forgive and forget" if/when a $44,000,000 employee sucks at their job. You usually fire them.
