"Confidence in Goodell’s leadership ought to be in tatters, too. Fans, particularly female fans and the wives and girlfriends of fans, should be appalled by everything he did and didn’t do in the Rice matter. If Bruce Levenson feels compelled to sell his stake in the Atlanta Hawks basketball team because of a few racial observations in a two-year-old e-mail certainly Goodell should find his way to the exit.
Rice really loves football, especially because of its similarities to military strategy. “I really consider myself a student of the game,” Rice told the Times in that 2002 interview. “I find the strategy and tactics absolutely fascinating.” And in talking about why she coveted the gridiron gig, the foreign policy expert who served two presidents and was provost of Stanford University said, “I think it would be a very interesting job because I actually think football, with all due respect to baseball, is a kind of national pastime that brings people together across social lines, across racial lines. And I think it’s an important American institution.”
