To Owners of the NFL:
We, the fans of the NFL, believe Roger Goodell ("Goodell") should be removed as Commissioner of the National Football League ("NFL").
It is our opinion that Goodell is simply a businessman wholacks the personal experience and knowledge of the game of football from a player's perspective, and, therefore, is unqualified to hold the office of Commissioner of the NFL.
As fans of the NFL, we are disappointed in the manner in which Goodell and his administration has changed the traditional game of football. Goodell inconsistently implemented fines upon players for what he deemed to be "illegal hits" while ignoring hits of the same calibur by other players. This inconsistency slowed the game, angered fans and even confused the officials.
Additionally, we disagree with expanding the season to 18 games without concessions for player health, rosters and salary.
With the expiration of the current CBA and a lockout looming and for the reasons stated above and other reasons, we fans believe the NFL needs new leadership. Until Goodell steps down, we will not purchase any merchandise from NFLShop.com and will avoid purchasing products from any official NFL sponsors.

The path to 1,000 signatures has been exhausting and long. Push this forward one last time so we can finally force them to see us.

The exhaustion is setting in but we are inching closer to the hundred mark. I need you to pass this link to people who actually care about the state of this league. We have to keep pushing even when it feels like we are shouting into the void.

He has completely ruined the game. I refuse to spend another dime towards the game until hes out, as a 49er fan for 27 yrs I'm very disappointed in the direction hes taken the league and the game. Hes a small step from turning it into a flag football league. He must go now!!!
I don't believe for a second you didn't see the video until yesterday. You had the police report, the video of Rice dragging his now wife out of the elevator. What does a player have to do to be fired? You have behaved despicably.
He is a corrupt individual that puts gambling ahead of the sport!!
I don’t want the NFL playing in other countries
It is a terrible idea to play games in other countries...it is driven by pure greed and so unfair to fans especially those with season tickets, just a stupid idea.
Gloves for receivers need to removed.Not tough enough on players that get arrested.Just keeps referring to nfl conduct policy like an idiot.Lets JayZ call the entertainment too pro woke and much more get rid of the punk!
I'm sick of Goodell's corruption, greed, and lies. He is damaging the product and making it too expensive to watch games. Greed is destroying the fan experience.

Goodell Needs to go ... Get someone like Matt Birk in there - He would be the perfect commish. Education from a credible school. Tenure as a NFL player, a player rep for the NFLPA and now works with the NFL front office. This is also One level headed smart guy.
