Via IntheOT:
It was recently announced in the past few days that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has signed a five-year extension that is good through March of 2019. It was revealed that during his contract there is potential to earn upwards of $20 million per year. His previous contract saw him making $10 per year so the potential of making twice as much money has left one current NFL player Atlanta Falcons Roddy White extremely offended. On Monday, White went onto Twitter expressing his anger about the commish’s new contract extension:
For the most part I do not like Roger Goodell due the way he is running the league into the ground with the overprotection of quarterbacks, head-shot hits, video-replay decisons, what is actually considered a catch…. I could keep going.
Most of the time I would like to defend the NFL players when they step up and go public with critical comments towards the league and in particular Roger Goodell.
However, in this circumstance that cannot be done because White looks like an absolute fool with his comments. Sure he may not be able to run, pass, catch or tackle but that is irrelevant to the amount of money he should earn.
Goodell works for the owners of the league. His primary objective is to earn money for them. Something he has been extremely successful at doing; including the record-breaking 8-year, $39 billion television contract that is set to begin in 2014.

Roddy's a good player but why does everyone think that running a multi-billion dollar corporation successfully is easy???
I know how to do what Roddy does, I just don't have the talent to do it. I don't know how to do Roger's job and I don't have the skill set...it's very difficult. You dummies who think it's easy are clueless.
Get real Gents: If running big companies were easy, you'd be doing it. It takes years of work AND discipline to get the opportunity!
Also, thank you for your service EXNAVY2003 and all soldiers and veterans and their understanding families=) Good day!
$10 this past year to $20 million is a hell of a lot more than twice the amount. I guess $10 should be $10 million! LOL
Goodell has a degree...roddy white went to college but his IQ is ...questionable.
EDUCATION AND HIGH INTELLIGENCE, RODDY, is WHY you pay a man more than some idiot that can catch and run.
As an African American...havent you figured out that EDUCATION and INTELLIGENCE is far more important than athletic skills???
Why were so many Africans taken and forced into slavery when they had better athletic skills...???
Whe
Yet he keeps entertaining the idea of having playoff games including the Superbowl out of this country. The old gentlemen, Pete Rozelle & Paul Tagliabue are rolling over in their graves. Being that his mother didn't shoot him in the crib, he should be thrown off the roof somewhere!!! It's time to get rid of the dictators in our society! Hey Roger Goodell, go to hell!!!
