Goodell\u2019s defense of the Rooney Rule and \u2062the broader DEI framework has drawn both \u200csupport \u2062and meaningful backlash amid an habitat \u2064increasingly skeptical \u2064of\u2063 such policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Not long ago, while rummaging through old boxes, I discovered a 1980 Pittsburgh Steelers calendar complete with team schedule.

In other words, like many Americans, I consider myself essentially a lifelong fan of the National Football League.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, however, the NFL will leave millions of fans no choice but to walk away from it for good. After all, prolonged exposure to relentless lying corrodes the soul, and we should want no part of it.<\/p>\n<p>At his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference on Monday, woke NFL Commissioner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/espn-shields-blm-shill-roger-goodell-frantically-kills-live-interview-getting-roasted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger Goodell<\/a> showcased the shameless lies, unconscious ironies, and profound moral abominations at the core of the league&rsquo;s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies when he pledged to continue those policies despite President Donald Trump&rsquo;s overwhelming victory in the 2024 election and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/justice-imbram-x-kendi-legacy-destroyed-trumps-dei-purge-continues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subsequent efforts<\/a> to dismantle DEI nationwide, prompting one user on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X to characterize the commissioner as &ldquo;tone-deaf.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Goodell&rsquo;s pledge came in response to a question from a journalist who referred to Trump specifically.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In light of Trump&rsquo;s White House and many companies in corporate America dismantling DEI,&rdquo; the journalist said in a clip posted to X, &ldquo;how has that made the NFL more steadfast? Have you had feedback from owners, corporate partners, other entities in terms of how the NFL addresses its DEI policies?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>The journalist&rsquo;s exact wording deserves some attention. After all, the phrase &ldquo;how has that made the NFL more steadfast?&rdquo; fits the textbook definition of a leading question. In other words, it excluded the possibility that the NFL might grow less &ldquo;steadfast&rdquo; in its commitment to DEI.<\/p>\n<p>Then, whether or not the NFL planted that &ldquo;steadfast&rdquo; question, Goodell proceeded to gaslight listeners for nearly two straight minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League. And we&rsquo;re going to continue those efforts because we&rsquo;ve not only convinced ourselves, [but] I think we&rsquo;ve proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better,&rdquo; the commissioner said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, the <a href=\"https:\/\/operations.nfl.com\/inside-football-ops\/inclusion\/the-rooney-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL<\/a> adopted the &ldquo;Rooney Rule,&rdquo; named for the late Steelers owner Dan Rooney. That <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">rule originally requires teams<\/a> to interview at least one &ldquo;diverse&rdquo; candidate for head-coaching vacancies. The league has since expanded the rule to cover other staff positions, such as general manager and coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>By &ldquo;diverse,&rdquo; of course, the league means &ldquo;not white.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, Goodell lied about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-karoline-leavitt-take-apart-dei-may-single-best-line-history-wh-news-briefings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEI&rsquo;s<\/a> purpose. He referred to the league&rsquo;s DEI policies as &ldquo;fundamental in trying to attract the best possible talent into the National Football League, both on and off the field.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>By definition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/flashback-painful-video-bidens-dei-pick-lead-faa-unable-answer-aviation-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEI<\/a> has nothing to do with attracting the best possible talent. And it certainly does not apply to players &ldquo;on&rdquo; the field.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the commissioner added a defense of the Rooney Rule to his expanding litany of lies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Rooney Rule, for us, is not &mdash; there&rsquo;s no requirement to hire a particular individual on basis of race or gender. It&rsquo;s simply on the basis of looking at a &mdash; uh, uh, uh &mdash; canvas of candidates that reflect our communities,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, one does not transcribe the &ldquo;uhs&rdquo; that represent a speaker&rsquo;s hesitation as he or she searches for words. In this case, however, Goodell&rsquo;s three-second hesitation &mdash; &ldquo;uh, uh, uh&rdquo; &mdash; occurred at a point in his answer where he tried to describe the process of considering candidates on the basis of race or gender without actually saying &ldquo;race or gender.&rdquo; So he came up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-versus-biden-revisited-75th-anniversary-orwells-1984\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orwellian<\/a> phrase &ldquo;canvas of candidates that reflect our communities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Roger Goodell on continuing the NFL&rsquo;s DEI policies:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It does make the NFL better.

It does not do that, however, for the NFL draft. There, players rise and fall on merit alone, as they should.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover &mdash; and this often gets overlooked &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/alert-major-university-covertly-rebrands-dei-office-innocuous-sounding-name\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEI<\/a> policies do not determine who owns a franchise. The owners exempt themselves from the same scrutiny they apply to their coaches and general managers.<\/p>\n<p>But why? After all, if one can make the argument that skin color must play a role in determining coaching or executive positions, then why does the same argument not apply to the wealthiest people in the league &mdash; the owners? Why does the league not select a half-dozen or so franchises at random and sell them to &ldquo;diverse&rdquo; owners only?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of owners, Goodell&rsquo;s answer highlighted two incredible and apparently unconscious ironies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pathetic-nfl-fines-player-something-didnt-say-doubles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL&rsquo;s<\/a> DEI policies.<\/p>\n<p>First, by adopting the Rooney Rule, the owners effectively acknowledged their own bigotry or stupidity. In other words, they conceded that, absent said rule, they would ignore qualified &ldquo;diverse&rdquo; candidates. That makes them either racists or fools.<\/p>\n<p>Goodell, in fact, admitted as much.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We got into diversity efforts,&rdquo; he said. Then, he described those efforts as &ldquo;fundamental to trying to attract the best possible talent.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>What had those racist morons been doing up to that point? Excluding &ldquo;diverse&rdquo; candidates by design? Or simply limiting their prospective talent pool by sheer ineptitude? Either way, it does not reflect well on the league&rsquo;s owners.<\/p>\n<p>Second &mdash; and this irony applies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-study-dei-trainings-make-people-see-racism-even-isnt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEI<\/a> policies in general, not simply the NFL&rsquo;s &mdash; those who promote policies branded as &ldquo;anti&rdquo;-racism are the only ones keeping &ldquo;race&rdquo; alive as a category.<\/p>\n<p>Why not simply tell the truth? In short, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/axios-warns-about-the-rise-of-white-nationalist-hispanics\/\" title=\"Axios Warns About The Rise of \u2018White Nationalist Hispanics\u2019\">categorizing people based<\/a> on immutable characteristics, <em>and then taking action based on said characterization<\/em>, has no moral justification.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they use language and adopt policies that, in another context, the Ku Klux Klan would approve. We need a &ldquo;canvas of candidates that reflect our communities,&rdquo; Goodell said. That amounts to categorization and action based on skin color, something we were supposed to have left behind a long time ago.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, Sunday&rsquo;s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs &mdash; the latter widely perceived as a darling of NFL executives and their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nfl-facing-backlash-game-changing-4th-quarter-call-chiefs-reach-3rd-straight-super-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on-field officials<\/a> &mdash; already has some fans considering tuning out of the big game.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, that tuning-out phenomenon &mdash; and maybe even the discarding of old NFL memorabilia &mdash; should become both widespread and permanent.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

The final scores of each game were written in the handwriting of a 6-year-old boy. Like many Americans, I have been a lifelong fan of the NFL. However, there may come a time when millions of fans will feel compelled to abandon it for good. Continuous exposure to persistent dishonesty can be damaging to one&#8217;s spirit, and we should want no part in it. During his annual pre-Super Bowl press conference on Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell displayed the blatant falsehoods and deep moral contradictions inherent in the league&#8217;s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies by committing to uphold them despite President Donald Trump&#8217;s significant victory in the 2024 election and subsequent efforts to dismantle DEI initiatives across the country. This led one user on X (formerly Twitter) to label Goodell as &#8220;tone-deaf.&#8221; Goodell&#8217;s commitment was made in response to a journalist who specifically mentioned Trump: \u201cIn light of Trump\u2019s White House and many companies dismantling DEI,\u201d they asked how this has strengthened the NFL&#8217;s resolve regarding its DEI policies.<\/p>\n<p>The journalist\u2019s phrasing is noteworthy; asking \u201chow has that made the NFL more steadfast?\u201d suggests an assumption that their commitment would only strengthen rather than weaken. Regardless of whether this question was prompted by external influences or not, Goodell proceeded with nearly two minutes of misleading statements.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that their diversity initiatives were undertaken because they believed it was right for the league and insisted they would continue these efforts because they had convinced themselves\u2014and claimed evidence showed\u2014that it improved the NFL overall. The Rooney Rule was introduced in 2003 requiring teams to interview at least one diverse candidate for head coaching positions; however, &#8220;diverse&#8221; here means &#8220;non-white.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Goodell later misrepresented DEI\u2019s purpose by claiming these policies are essential for attracting top talent both on and off the field\u2014despite DEI fundamentally being unrelated to merit-based talent acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>He also defended Rooney Rule without acknowledging its racial implications: \u201cThere\u2019s no requirement to hire based on race or gender&#8230; just looking at candidates reflecting our communities.\u201d His hesitation while trying not to explicitly mention race or gender highlighted an uncomfortable truth about how candidates are evaluated based on those characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>The journalist&#8217;s question had some validity given Trump&#8217;s administration&#8217;s aggressive stance against such policies nationwide; public sentiment reflected through his election has pressured various businesses accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Many users reacted critically online; one noted that DEI contradicts attracting top talent entirely\u2014pointing out that using skin color as criteria for coaching candidates does not apply during player drafts where merit prevails instead.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it&#8217;s worth noting that owners are exempt from scrutiny under these same standards applied elsewhere within their organizations\u2014raising questions about why similar considerations aren&#8217;t extended towards franchise ownership itself if such arguments hold weight regarding hiring practices among coaches or executives.<\/p>\n<p>Goodell inadvertently revealed two significant ironies within these policies: first being an acknowledgment from owners via Rooney Rule suggesting either ignorance or bias against qualified diverse candidates priorly overlooked without mandated intervention; second being those advocating anti-racism measures ironically perpetuate racial categorization themselves\u2014a practice we were meant leave behind long ago according moral progressions sought after historically speaking.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion\u2014the upcoming Super Bowl between Philadelphia Eagles &amp; Kansas City Chiefs already prompts some fans contemplating disengagement from viewing altogether\u2014a trend likely growing over time leading potentially even discarding memorabilia associated with past fandom experiences permanently down line ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2398758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Roger-Goodell.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4563,16574,7215,35594,18812],"class_list":["post-2398757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-commissioner","tag-dei","tag-nfl","tag-super-bowl","tag-tone-deaf"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Roger-Goodell.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2398757"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2398761,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398757\/revisions\/2398761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2398757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2398757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2398757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
