Goodell said (in his shameless promoting of his NFL) that, "I've said many times before, we're all held to a high standard here."
I've heard a lot of political and bureaucratic BS in sports, but this one just pushes everything off the top of that steaming heap.
WHAT HIGH STANDARD IS GOODELL TALKING ABOUT?!
This is the same league, and the same commissioner, that has let convicted criminals not only re-enter the league, but obviously play in large extents after the fact. Does Goodell really think that letting a blatant racist liks Rush Limbaugh become associated with a pathetic football team will unravel such a "high standard?" Really?
Goodell has his candy bars twisted so badly he could be drinking Silk Soy Milk for fun. He might as well keep with his track record and let a guy like Limbaugh take minority ownership of a team to hide the fact that he has murderers fleecing America in his league right now. I, in large part, consider myself a Liberal, and have never agreed with Limbaugh's social commentary, ESPECIALLY on race issues. The guy is a jerk. But I feel that the decision to leave him off the ownership group is solely based on his past troubles, not what is currently going on right now.
If Goodell REALLY thought this way as a principle, then Michael Vick would still be on house arrest, Pacman would still be a video game, and Ray Lewis would be an employee at McDonalds and none of them would be in the NFL. Furthermore, maybe taking Limbaugh away from the microphone would be a good thing. We wouldn't have to put up with HIS BS that is only second to The Commish himself.
