The subject of Lupica's post this week is on Roger Goodell and why he is doing what he is doing. It all started with Ray Rice. Goodell knew the intensity of how hard Rice hit his wife. Goodell didn't want to make one of the best players in the league look bad, which would make the NFL look bad, which is why he left it at a two week suspension. When the video was realeased and people realized that Goodell was hiding evidence, he all of a sudden is cracking down on everybody in the NFL for something that they did in the past but the NFL never did anything about, such as star running back, Adrian Peterson.
Lupica is clearly against Roger Goodell and does not agree with how he is running the National Football League, one of the most watched sports in the country. Lupica Writes, "One more huge problem for Roger Goodell and the National Football League these days is that Goodell himself has been laid out by the very conduct policy that he instituted when he succeeded Paul Tagliabue and set himself up as prosecutor and judge and jury, “The Enforcer” who posed on the cover of Time magazine and was praised — at least in his early days — as the guy who had taken care of the bad guys in his sport like he was Clint Eastwood in “Unforgiven.”" (Lupica 1) Mike Lupica is upset over the fact that Roger Goodell made such a small punishment in the beginning for such a serious incident. Then, he proceeded to make it worse by trying to suspend everybody else. This article is basically Lupica trying to tell Goodell to step down before he makes it even worse than it already is.
