the team to a horrible season the first year, the new NFL franchise would get better over time. All in all, NFL expansion has many positives including its financial standpoint, but creating the team would pose many challenges as well. As long as Roger Goodell and the NFL can overcome these challenges, the positivity, possibility and inevitability of NFL expansion will be endless. Another NFL team would most likely be added to the league. Whether the new expansion team would have really cool…
NFL Revenue Collection and Distribution Imagine being in control of the most widely known sports company in all the United States.

You oversee billionaire team owners and hundreds of millionaire employees. Your job is to coordinate all the deals and bring more and more success to the already growing league. The NFL’s player associating is always…
It is clear that the Brady and Jastremski are both aware about the issue and wanted to talk about it. It’s important to note that in the 20 years that Jastremski has worked for the Patriots, he had never met with Brady in the quarterback room. He also said that the meeting only lasted a few minutes and walked out a happy man because Brady had praised and thank him for the preparation of the footballs for the AFC Championship Game. He said they did not discuss anything relating to the deflation…
The sports industry altogether provides quite the attractive earnings, coming in roughly around $14.3 billion in a year without the immense quantity of economic activity caused by the Super Bowl Sunday, in addition to the mass amount of jobs it creates as well. A large portion of these earnings come from one sport in particular- professional football. However, in order to keep up with our Nation’s rapid population growth, what more can be done to add-on and cultivate the mass amount of earnings…
In a recent town hall meeting in Jacksonville, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in regards to a possible playoff expansion "It likely will happen at some point, but we want to be really cautious because we really like the balance we have with the importance of the regular season and the postseason and you don't want to mess with that balance. You have to be really careful and cautious." (Via Jaguars.com) I for one am not a proponent of playoff expansion in the NFL. The old phrase “If it…
This was never a thing that the NFL or pro sporting was worried about about the players kneeing for the anthem was never a big thing. It all started when everyone saw what colin kaepernick taking a knee when the national anthem was playing and they went wild over that but then it spread around on social media but every sport thing in the morning like sportscenter went wild over it. When kaepernick was just protesting his rights the players should take a knee and protest their rights. The NFL and…
infuriates players and fans. In football there will always be controversy over calls, penalties, catches, touchdowns and so on, but if we have a definite rule of what a catch is there won’t be as great of problem as there is currently. Commissioner Roger Goodell even recognizes this and in January before the Super Bowl said that, “clearly catch, no-catch has been a lot of discussion and a lot of disagreement ... and I think we can clarify this rule and I think we can do it with a lot of hard…
According to Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL says that ¨the league is more safer than it has been over the past thirteen years¨ but during the games there have been times that the players deliver heavy hits to the head and they just get up like if it's nothing. Not to mention, they start to forget what happened the last twenty four hours and also begin to start vomiting, which can lead to a concussion protocol and end their football career for good if they get more than three…
60% of relationships involve domestic violence. 70% of domestic violence cases goes unreported. Of course, athletes are also in the fault for crimes like this. In 2000-2013, there were 84 arrests for domestic violence that involved a professional athlete. Of course, no sports leagues want to be judged as being soft on domestic violence cases so, they all had tried to make their own rules for it (Allen). The problem with that is that some people think that only the court system should be able…
