Friday ended the negotiation process between the NFL player union and NFL officials. The two sides were unable to reach an agreement. because there was no decision made the players filled a law suit against the NFL. This blog is not about the law suit, it is about Rodger Goodell making a statement explaining that leaugues general counsel Jeff Pash and himself will have thier pay slashed. Both mens salaries will now me $1 a year. Goodell's average sallary was 10 million and Jeff Pash's salary was 5 million a year. Goodell and Oash are taking this pay cut to try and make sure that no NFL employess will keep their jobs.

My opinion of the entire matter is very simple. I think that the players are being ridiculous by asking for a pay increases. these men are some of the highest paid people in the world. they make millions of dollars a year. there are People out there who are living a comfortable life off of 5% of an NFL players salary. I think that Goodell is doing a very noble thing by taking a pay cut. he is showing the players that are over reacting about a few million dollars he is willing to give up $9,999,999. That is the attitude that the players need to have as well.
