Now that Ginger-Tin-Ears (Roger Goodell) has managed to completely ruin a job that pays $44 million a year, the ever-vigilant I-wonder-what-will-move-the-story-forward-three-years media has seized upon a list of successors, and foremost among them is . . . wait for it . . .
Condoleezza Rice.
Yes, that Condoleezza Rice. Politician, former cabinet secretary, educator, Stanford provost and the fastest-rising person in football. Its clichéd thinking of the first order, but thats what we do now the simplest way to get from one story to the next while hoping the liquor holds out.
Why she has decided to bring the nations most popular game to her heel is something only she and her therapist truly know, but she is on record from years ago as saying she wants someday to be NFL Commissioner, and is therefore now considered a prime candidate by the Washington Post, TheHill.com, and Fox News, among other media arms.

They can't be serious. The NFL needs another old white guy to lead them.

(357 posts)I'm sure her degrees and current position are merely do to affirmative action based on being a black female.
The wind whistles right through her ears because she has no brains to stop it.
I was going to post on her degrees and success, but your post is better

2. She is black
I might not agree with her politically but I do know she is a big football fan and I seriously think she would have handled the Ray Rice situation a lot differently. I also think this would be a big step for women in general.

(498 posts)unless you use the term in a purely figurative sense, for the sake of amplification and emphasis, to mean that she was really bad at her job. If that's what you mean, then I'm happy to play along

(35,773 posts)It's an example of how stupid consumers are that we even bother with the sport. It's ridiculously expensive. You have spend nearly four hours to get 10 minutes of action, while basically watching commercials nonstop. Even most of the non-commercial time is spent listening to people you wouldn't bother to go visit, if you knew them, because the inanities they push are just plain tiring.
And then there's the ugly cultural aspects. Yeah.
