[sunsfan88]

Roger Goodell made $150.4 million in salary over his first eight seasons as commissioner of the NFL.

The NFL has given up its tax exempt status, which means they will no longer have to disclose Goodell's annual salary among other things.

The NFL had received criticism for being tax exempt.

So????

$18.75mil per year, which is less than the $20mil that David Stern was making before he retired.

Standard salary for commissioners of major professional sports.

Much ado about nothing, IMO.

Very much ado about nothing

 

[Goldfield]

Don't see the point...

 

[gmabel830]

He's worth it.. so say the 32 billionaires who pay that salary

 

[PDXChris]

And that is a fraction of what the top CEO's in American make. The CEO for GoPro made about $300 million last year.

Considering how much the NFL makes, that is actually bargain-basement.

[Metcalf Rules]

What do you mean? I meant for it to be more informative than anything else.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

I can believe it. I saw him before the Super Bowl and he was wearing a REALLY expensive, hand-tailored suit.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Good for him.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

What a dick! With that kind of money, he could hire all off us to trash on other sports fulltime.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Good for him.

Commissioners of major sports are millionaires .

 

[GatorAZ]

Not bad for a puppet.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Not bad for a puppet.

Winner!

 

[HeavyB3]

I'd gladly be someones puppet for that salary.

 

[juza76]

honestly.... does he really deserve that amount of money for the work he put on?
son of senator,use the 70% of your payments and helps some family that lives in poverty

About the same that Meryweater and Paciqua (Spelling for both??) will make for a night's work. If I'm Roger, I'm asking for a raise.
