Pretty much a majority of people vote for Stern and Selig; I'm sure the new MLB comissioner (can't think of his name until I see it) is better than Selig.

I know I'm biased, hands down it's still Goodell. Due to the deflegate scandal he suspended Tom Brady for four games which was later overturned. He also suspended Ray Rice indefinitely but that too was reversed and now he cannot suspend players anymore!

How in the world can Goodell only have one vote? When it comes to issuing suspensions ask yourself this question: when was the last time you thought to yourself "Goodell got this one right". He has screwed this up over and over again and it's been going on for years. It also happens to be a big part of his job description. Every single player who has sued the league over his decision has won, the Brady fiasco was a total embarrassment for the league and has the owners strongly considering stripping him of this power.

They are all equally bad as they work for the owners and the owners profit - rather than for the good of the sport.

While I still have my vote for Roger Goodell I am also going for Bud Selig. As much as I like him but I disagree with the ideas he came up with, managers' challenges even though I am not against instant replay. What bothers me the most is the all-star game that decides the home field advantage for the World Series. That is just a disgrace.

Dude this made me smile and borderline chuckle. Good stuff.

I guess I'm the only one who voted for Goodell on the poll.

Here's a petition to remove Roger Goodell as commissioner of the National Football League if any of you are interested: Petition PETITION TO REMOVE ROGER GOODELL AS COMMISSIONER OF THE NFL

I even signed the petition myself.

Goodell needs to go.
