NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn’t have many friends right now as his league is consumed by its players’ off-field scandals. He’s been accused of lying about what he knew and when about suspended running back Ray Rice hitting his now-wife and an independent investigation is underway.
But he still has at least one ally in league circles: Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
“Roger Goodell has always had the best interests of football at heart, both on and off the field. We are fortunate to have him as our Commissioner,” Snyder said in a statement published Saturday by the Washington Post. “The entire Washington Redskins organization strongly endorses his efforts to eradicate domestic abuse and the independent investigation into the Ray Rice assault.”
