What an idiotic idea! That “political correctness” snake has turned about and bitten Goodell in the ass! Good! But, appointing Condoleeza Rice commissioner will accomplish what, exactly? I mean, who really cares?
Qualified?
Pete Rozelle... never played football, played high school baseball, basketball... was a student news director at a community college, publicity for the USF Dons (college), then worked PR for Rams.
Paul Tagliabue...played college basketball, then was a lawyer for 20 years before appointed commissioner.
Roger Goodell...played high school sports, never college...intern on the NFL office, then PR for the Jets, then AFC president before appointed Commissioner.
Condi Rice... read her bio, boys, if you can... far and away more impressive than any of the others and based on life experience and accomplishments (as compared to the others), too qualified.
But she never played football? BFD! If a white male had Condi’s resume, you would demand he be hired immediately.
I don’t care how she votes... hiring an NFL commissioner, not the POTUS or city council.
