exactly ... Goodell was doing what the owners told him to do.
The owners were reacting to the lawsuit of the players.
Have no idea why people are getting pissed at Goodell about it.
The players can stop all the safety rules and making the league 'soft' anytime they want by dropping the lawsuit and reaching some kind of agreement with the league.
To this day, players are still bitching and moaning about safety rules and fighting against them ... yet still suing.
on a side note, apparently the NFLPA had access to the same information about concussions as the league and did nothing the entire time either.
In fact i believe the NFL tried to approved a concussion diagnosing insert that went into the helmet years ago and
the NFLPA blocked it.
