Why are the fans attending the Draft booing the Commish?

[xgeoff]

Are they all Patriots fans or what?

They do every year. I'm not a fan of Goodell, but it gets old and lame when they do it on every pick.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Probably because Goodell stinks

 

[xgeoff]

Yeah, I am liking him these days for sticking it to the Patriots (i.e. Cheatriots)

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Because he's the commissioner of a major professional sports league. Everyone hates those guys.

 

[McGruff]

Beccause now that David Stern has retired Goodell is the most evil man in sports?

NFL's tax filings took place this week, spurring a predictably horrified reaction: Roger Goodell made how much? In 2014, he pulled in $34.1 million -- a slight decrease from 2013, but hardly the expected rebuke after a year in which the commissioner stumbled through a series of crises...............http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14802447/roger-goodell-high-salary-explained

Goodell has meddled with football too much, he is a horrible disciplinarian who makes inconsistent decisions, and he makes way too much money. That's the basics.

No offense, but have you watched the draft before? They have been booing Goodell since the lock out...

Nope, haven't watched it live before

 

[Sports Hernia]

Because he's a wanker!

This.

I think it's hilarious. Fans are always booing him, and he just comes out grinning every time.

You can just see the thought process "go ahead and boo me. I make 35 mil/year you chuckleheads".

It has become such a tradition to boo the commish that I doubt some of the younger
fans know why they are booing but do anyway because it's great fun.

Anyway, Roger is very boo worthy. (exception: he can keep doing it to the Pats as long as he wants)

 

[delagator7]

I like Goodell a whole lot better than David Stern. Not that I love Goodell either. The whole booing stuff is stupid and annoying as heck as we try to follow along to see who the Hawks pick as well as our rivals and keep up with our favorite college players/friends

 

[kearly]

It never gets old. He is the Vince McMahon of the NFL.

 

[two dog]

Goodell does a good job with it, never acknowledges he has even heard it.

It's just like being at the ball game, you let them know they're getting to you,
then they will double the noise.

 

[HawkFan72]

I think it would be amazing if he broke down in tears on stage in response to the boos.

My very first instinct was, Duh, because he's there.
