Yet NFL owners continue to back him—a sign his aggressive business strategy works, even when fans hate it.
The NFL aims to generate $25 billion in revenue by 2027 under Goodell's leadership, Journal Star reports. Team owners like Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney support this ambitious goal. Goodell's tenure shows a stark split: fans despise his decisions on player discipline and anthem protests, but owners love his profits.
