Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 1470651, member: 1958"] Not really, excerpt 1 says Goodell presided over a meeting and owners agreed to destroy the tapes because it would threaten livelihoods. Excerpt 2 says in a meeting that Goodell ordered the tapes be destroyed and owners didn't like it but knew it couldn't get out because that hurts your business. It says Goodell ordered the tapes to be destroyed, not that he destroyed them and then told them they were destroyed. Both excerpts are just a different way of saying Goodell told the owners his decision was to destroy the tapes because it was the best course of action to limit the damage done to the league as whole. Owners then agreed because at the end of the day these are all brilliant businessmen who are billionaires for a reason and it's because they know not to let emotion cloud their judgment and potentially cost them hundreds of millions.
