I applaud Roger Goodell. He is an excellent commissioner. [#PTBL]

Normally, posts that get the #PTBL (Preach Truth. Believe Lies.) tag are related to those who say one thing and do another, or just overall deception. I thought it'd be nice to break from the negative perspective and point out when someone sticks to their beliefs/morals.

I don't know how many of our fans enjoys sports, but I'm sure many have heard about the Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, and his recent "indiscretions." Ben wasn't charged with a crime, but that didn't stop NFL commissioner Roger Goodell from suspending him anyway. Since Roethlisberger wasn't charged with a crime, it gave Goodell an easy opportunity to use that as a justification for not suspending him. Plus, suspending a player of Roethlisberger's caliber is definitely a money loser for the NFL. Goodell didn't care - slapped him with a 4-6 game suspension anyway. Bravo sir.

Since Goodell took charge of the NFL a few years back, he basically said he'd have no tolerance for poor off-field behavior. He has 100% lived up to his word. He took some flack for it in the beginning, but he didn't let public opinion or money get in the way of doing the right thing.

I believe most people WANT to do the right thing, but it's not always the easiest path. I applaud someone who makes the hard choice, sticks to their word, and actually DOES do the right thing. Keep up the good work Mr. Goodell.
