Roger Goodell isn’t going to do anything about the New Orleans Saints. He said as much on Monday night. He took the stage hours after the Associated Press dropped a bombshell report about the lengths to which the Saints went to assist the Archdiocese of New Orleans during a sexual abuse scandal in the church — including helping to craft the church’s media messaging and seemingly ensuring some clergy wouldn’t face charges.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called the New Orleans Saints “great corporate citizens” and praised team owner Gayle Benson for her transparency in response to reports Monday — including from the Associated Press and The New York Times — that showed team leaders had played a role in helping the Archdiocese of New Orleans handle the public relations fallout after sexual abuse accusations made against priests and church employees became public.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is facing intense criticism for his dismissive response to the New Orleans Saints’ involvement in a church sexual abuse scandal. His refusal to investigate the organization has left many questioning the league’s accountability.

And around the NFL, there are a lot of people -- and I mean a LOT of people -- who believe the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes gain an advantage every single week thanks to favorable calls from the officials.
