These Tweets, directed to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, are from Malcolm @Gladwell – who has previously described the NFL as an “abomination,” due to CTE and physical maiming of its players…
I first saw these collected Tweets in a USA Today report
They were Tweetted about a minute apart… (Pictures and minor commentary mine…)

That’s so much worse than a game that caused him to have four neck surgeries.

Or that causes young men to be hit over the head so many times that countless numbers of them suffer from dementia and early death.

RIP Ken Stabler, Earl Morrell, Dave Duerson, Frank Gifford, John Mackay, and so many more
Or that makes college players work for peanuts while they make millions for their schools.

Build us a new stadium and guarantee revenues or we will move to LA… or San Diego… or Oakland… or London … Shanghai? (Al’s spirit lives on..)
Having your ethics investigated by Roger Goodell is like being called ugly by a frog.
