On Monday morning, NFL Media’s Jim Trotter announced that his contract with the league-owned operation would not be renewed.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trotter suggested that his repeated questions to Commissioner Roger Goodell about diversity, equality, and inclusion in the NFL newsroom played a role in the decision.
On Tuesday evening, Goodell rejected that assumption.
“I was not part of that decision, and I actually learned about it about 10 minutes before I got here,” Goodell told reporters at league meetings in Arizona. “So, no, I don’t think that has anything to do with it.”
Not being involved in the decision does not definitively prove that there was no connection. Sometimes, code red happens without asking for code red.
“Infuriatingly humble internet trailblazer. Twitter buff. Beer nerd. Bacon scholar. Coffee practitioner.”
