But the decrease in viewership has little to do with Goodell and his actions as comish, and he has undoubtedly done a good job from a business standpoint.
I expect him to be renewed rather uneventfully. If Jones wants to "get back" at Goodell, he should follow the Patriots' example and win the Superbowl.
According to the article Jones has beeen threatening the lawsuit since May, long before Elliott's suspension was handed down. While I have no doubt that is a factor now, it isn't the main reason why Jones is threatening legal action.
Actually I would say Goodell is at minimum 90% responsible for the drop in viewership.
Two of the biggest reasons for ratings going down are the protests and piss poor officiating (which includes inconsistent punishments by the league), both of which Goodell could do something about if he wanted.
