commissioner conflict

This ESPN article describes really well how the NFL players feel about Commissioner Goodell. I'm glad they were able to find players that can describe their feelings about him without reverting to name calling (James Harrison is a great player, but seriously Harrison you shouldn't be allowed to speak to the media anymore about stuff like this). Goodell needs to learn how to gain the respect of the players. Right now he doesn't seem to care what the players have to say about anything, which you think would be counterintuitive considering what his job is. I'm not asking for him to be best friends with all the players, but you'd think that he'd at least look to gain the respect of the guys that are actually playing the sport.
