Roger Goodell Letter to NFL Fans Dan Leberfeld

Dear Fans,

You give so much to our game and its success. In return, as you should, you hold us to high standards, both on and off the field. We have listened and we have heard you. We hold ourselves to these high standards as well.

The majority of people in the NFL are individuals of high character who make incredible contributions to the game and their communities. However, a small percentage conduct themselves improperly at times. We recognize these actions damage the entire league. We now are taking significant steps to strengthen our programs to prevent and address incidents of misconduct.

Today at a league meeting in Dallas, our teams unanimously endorsed a revised and strengthened Personal Conduct Policy for all NFL employees. The policy was developed after an extensive series of meetings and discussions over the past four months with a wide range of experts and others inside and outside of the NFL, including current and former players, the NFL Players Association, domestic violence/sexual assault experts and advocates, law enforcement officials, academic experts, and business leaders. The revised policy is clear, consistent, accountable and transparent and applies to everyone including owners, general managers, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and all league employees.

Our communities are the heart of our teams and we put everything into making a positive impact on them. While we are stewards of the game of football, we know that virtue isn’t earned on the field alone. Character and values sits above everything else because we represent something that means so much to so many people.

Thank you for your passion and support of the NFL, and for helping make us better. Enjoy the rest of the season.

Roger Goodell

This new policy won't even be his biggest news today. The transcript of the Ray Rice arbitration hearing was leaked and it looks very bad on Roger Goodell. He apparently have contradictory reports on the investigation with Rice. He tried making Rice the fall guy and the reason for the lenient punishment by saying Rice didn't give him all the details. There's a long story on ESPN, I'll share it in a few but even the arbitrator said that she cannot be persuaded into believing that the NFL didn't have all the correct testimony from Rice.

It also shows how he lied about the NFL doing everything they can to get the video tapes. They didn't...

goodell is a very well paid disingenuous frontman/puppet/lap dog for the NFL owners..

This Ray Rice saga is going to stain his legacy...so will his crime and punishment policies...and his overprotection of QBs....and his no hard tackles mantra...this continuing TNF mistake...the wanking for a London football team...the over-commercialization of televised games....Bountygate

you don't like Thursday Night Football? I love it but i remember hearing talks that they eventually would like to broadcast a nationally televised game every day of the week. I hope that never happens......

The beauty of football is that it is on once a week and easy to follow.

No Thursday night is ok AFTER Thanksgiving but it's not even special...they look to put EVERY team on Primetime when that should be only for winning teams or heated division rivals...Tampa, Oakland, Jax, NYJ, Chicago, Washington didn't need any Primetime exposure...

I guess I can agree with that but it's hard to just keep winning teams in primetime when the schedule is made ahead of time.

But they could have done a better job. Everyone knew almost all those teams except for the Jets and Chicago were going to be bad.

I miss the Saturday afternoon games in the final two weeks of the season. Though I do understand there are games next week.
