    Would Appointing a War Criminal as Commissioner Redeem the NFL?

    Will Grigg:



    Former NFL star Ray Rice pleaded guilty of abusing a woman whom he later married, and was fired by the League after a video of the crime was made public.

    Former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice was an architect of an illegal war of aggression that resulted in the slaughter of a half-million people, the displacement of millions more, trillions of dollars in debt, and the creation of a nihilistic terrorist group that has now been designated our existential threat du jour. She is a war criminal who remains impenitent despite abundant proof of the crimes to which she is a party.

    The NFL is seeking to rehabilitate its public reputation amid accumulating scandals. This inspired Beltway scribe Susan Milligan to propose that the League could redeem itself by replacing “one Rice with another” – that is, firing incumbent NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and hiring War Criminal Condi Rice as his successor.

    Stalin famously said that one death is a tragedy, but a million deaths is a statistic. In contemporary America, one domestic violence incident in which the victim survived constitutes a career-ending scandal, but helping to orchestrate the murder of 500,000 foreigners is a glorious patriotic accomplishment.

    Installing Rice as NFL Commissioner would usefully demolish any pretense that the NFL is something other than a corporatist appendage of the Warfare State.

    For an item by one columnist and not suggested by the NFL it is certainly getting lots of play.

    If you want to save football , I may be available . I could start with 1972 rules , include a two point conversion , eliminate field goals in OT unless you go to a college football OT format , LOL

    99.9 percent of NFL fans couldn't careless about the off field activities of NFL players. The problem with football is that is so painfully BORING. I used to be a fan, but it has just become unwatchable to me.

    You must be new to how things work. The fact that is getting a lot of play should tell you something.
