N/S: Goodell spoke here in N. Carolina (Subj: Making Football SAFER)
The NFL asked me to donate (on behalf of my store) for an event held here in Charlotte last month. The event was for player safety. I was asked to be present (at no charge), so of course, I agreed. The weeks leading up to the event, I contacted them to go over specifics. I asked their contact about my seating arrangement and she asked if had bought my ticket? I told her, we had agreed that I was not going to be charged, since I was going to provide donations. I also told her that they were the 1st organization to ever try to charge me, to be part of an event. The nerve of the NFL.
