There's no reason for any ...I agree completely. There's no reason for any player to trust Goodell, given the commissioner is effectively a hand puppet for the owners (which makes his Vince McMahon-like strutting all the more irritating, because he's such a little tin dictator). I especially liked a few years ago, when Goodell simultaneously was spouting about caring about player health and safety, while also pushing for an 18 game season (oh, and denying playing football was actually having deleterious effects on player health).<br /><br />Of course, you could extend that to the other sports. Adam Silver claiming a bunch of franchises are losing money at the same time even the less-than-awesome Bucks are being sold for half a billion dollars, because heaven forbid the players get a proper cut of the revenue they generate. Or how Major League baseball is constantly leaking what are supposed to be confidential drug test results, so they can continue to look like they care about keeping the game clean, when they were completely OK with players juicing when the fans all loved dingers (and if offense continues to decline and the fans get restless, I have no doubt baseball will look the other way as owners, GMs, and coaches encourage players to begin juicing again).CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.com
