Goodell singles out Steelers again!

http://www.pittsburghsteelerfans.com/20 ... r-goodell/

 

I read it twice and still don't see us being singled out. What am I missing?

 

What do you mean you can't see it?! Better read it again guys. This is an absolute travesty!!!

To NFL Fans:
Now that another remarkable NFL season has concluded, let me express my gratitude on behalf of 31 NFL teams for your incredible support. I have excluded, of course, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Record numbers of you watched at home, made your way to the stadium, and connected with the NFL in numerous other ways during the 2011 season. Your love of football is what makes the NFL special.

We are proud of the quality of the game today with one exception. The way they play the game in Pittsburgh is shameful to the National Football League. But the other individuals and teams are to be commended. From the skills on display in every game to the record-breaking achievements of future Hall of Famers, the 2011 season was extraordinary on many levels. If not for the cheap shots delivered by James Harrison, Ryan Clark and the other Steeler thugs, this season would have been perfect.

It finished up with some of the most exciting playoff games of recent years. Who can forget that classless organization from Pittsburgh getting Tebowed in the Wildcard game. Of course all of the playoff games lead to a tense, drama-filled Super Bowl between the Giants and Patriots that was the most-watched show in the history of television. What a tribute to our players, coaches, and fans!

As good as it’s been, I believe the NFL’s best days are ahead. Our responsibility in leading the league is to protect and enhance the bond between our game and the passionate fans who sustain it. We know we have to earn your trust every day and prove we are worthy of your amazing support. That's why I am proposing that we contract the league to 31 teams and drop the franchise in Pittsburgh.

Our commitment to improve everything we do is ongoing. We are not done yet. From the game on the field to the fan experience at home — and everything in between —there are ways we can do even better. In addition to dropping the Pittsburgh franchise, I am also proposing that each player currently on on the Steelers roster be immediately and irrevocably barred from ever playing in the NFL again. We owe it to you, the fans, to believe in better and strive for more. Our game has always evolved and that will continue. I encourage you to visit our new web site – NFL.com/evolution – to explore how the game has improved over the past century. There are more good changes to come.

Our mission is captured very simply in these four words:
Forever forward. Forever football. Thank you once again for your passion and commitment to the game we all love.



Roger Goodell

 

You know, I missed that the first two times I read it, but there it is in black and white. Sheesh, the nerve of that guy!

In all seriousness though, am I missing something in that first article? The Steelers weren't even mentioned.

I'm guessing this is what you are referring to, since the Steelers are the one team that did not vote in favor.
