NFL still hasn't done a thing about Jim Irsay, truly a shitbum league.

[Goober]

So it took the NBA less then a week to ban this guy for life for being racist. Meanwhile, Jim Irsay got arrested for a DUI, and likely committed felony murder months ago. But the NFL hasn't done a damn thing.

Goodell is a spineless dweeb. Worst commissioner in pro sports not named :bettman:

 

[MrBill]

Goodell is looking bad here. Silver setting the example :yep:

I'm so sick of Goodell that I'd rank Bettman ahead of him, even when factoring in the lockouts. My interest in the NFL has dwindled every year that Goodell has been in office.

I used to follow the NFL hardcore up until he took over as commissioner. Now it's hard for me to care about much else outside of Washington.

Yeah he seriously took an untouchable, bulletproof, unfuckupable corporation and has managed to fuck it up at every turn. Impressive, really.

Likewise. I used to watch games all Sunday and Monday years ago; now I watch the Titans game and maybe one other at a different time if it's a good match-up.

I don't care about most of the crap he's done, but he ruined my draft experience.

Waking up at 9 on Saturday for the #1 pick was one of my favorite times of the year, and I would commandeer the TV for the next two days.

Now I have to request two early days off of work if I want to catch the first two days. :glen:

Stick to baseball.

If it wasn't for gambling or fantasy football I wouldn't even watch football. Goodell and the owners have pretty much ruined the game.

What about the girl who was found dead in his condo due to drug overdose?

I told ya'll bout God'ell from Day 1 :kanye:

How long did it take MLB to get rid of Nazi sympathizer Marge Schott?

These leagues are all run by the ownership groups, not the figureheads in the commissioner's office. One is not any more ethical than the other.

Hey remember when Bud Selig went head to head with Jeffrey Loria while he dismantled the Marlins a year after the public bankrolled a new stadium? Or how Selig stopped him from destroying baseball in Montreal?

The puppets aren't the ones who you guys should be pointing the finger at.. they're only paid to stay in the bunker and take grenades while the owners pull their strings.

Please stop Glen. Jim Irsay committed a Felony. The examples you are giving did not.

My point was that you're confusing the league commissioners with people that have real power.

The owners put these guys in power and pay them big money to deflect the negativity, not fan its flames.

you can't compare the two examples

you've got a someone getting pulled over for intoxication, which is punishable by law. Not to mention, it happens every single day, from the rich to the poor.

then you've got a man who says some horrifying things that while spoken every single day all across the country.....it's never taped and leaked to a gossip website

the reason you can't compare is that irsay's trouble is legal and will be handled in a courtroom. it's not surprising that the nfl hasn't done anything as they are more than likely waiting to hear those results before their punishment. while sterlings was in the court of public opinion, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. they had to make a move, and make it swift as to not upset fans and risk ticket sales and eyeballs on the tv's.

the nfl controls the narrative for their league with an iron fist and the fact irsay's was when it was, and it was so commonplace in the public eye, they never had to risk sales or viewership. they'll quietly make their announcement when his day in court is done, and it'll be on talk radio and tv for a day maybe 2 and then on to something else.

Didn't you read the part where Jim Irsay is apparently a murderer now?

Agreed. I think that situation is specifically addressed in the NFL Ownership Bylaws:

Article VI, Section 3 - Dead Girls

Any owner who has a dead girl found on premises of which the owner is legaly rresponsible shall have his membership in the NFL terminated.

Don't forget sponsorships, and not just sponsorships for the Clippers but the entire league. That's the big one in the Sterling situation. I do think Irsay should be suspended indefinitely right now until his court case is completed.
