Roger Goodell should resign and appoint a black person as NFL commissioner

Published February 8, 2022 2:24pm ET



Over the weekend, Roger Goodell lamented the lack of black men hired as head coaches in the NFL. It caused him to send out a memo bemoaning the issue. Moreover, Goodell inexplicably stated “that racism and any form of discrimination is contrary to the NFL’s values” — as if this needed to be said, as if such things are not contrary to nearly everyone’s values.

But Goodell can be the change he wants to see in the league. He has the opportunity to make real change if he truly believes all this social justice “equity” stuff.
