In the first week of the regular season, when Lu Ke became the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Goodell had already anticipated the arrival of this day early, but this does not mean that he has already thought about the solution.

Today, under the aggressiveness of the "Los Angeles Times", the situation is losing control bit by bit. The league official must give a response at the first time. Even if it is a "reservation opinion, to be investigated", Goodell must also make a gesture ; Or even further, give a solution directly.

The press conference was about to begin, but Goodell still failed to make up his mind.

The reason why the topic of racial discrimination is sensitive is not only related to the correctness of politics / governance, but also to the interests of the entire group.

If a black man is facing such a difficult situation, the alliance and public opinion do not need to think at all. They are on the black side first, because the entire black group is an integral part of the alliance, and because they can really affect the alliance. Actual profit, let alone an important position in social influence.

But Lu Ke?

Lu Ke is only one of the only two Chinese players in the entire league, and the other one has also been reimbursed for the season due to injury.

If the Arizona Cardinals expressed strong protests, the big things became small, and the little things were just blamed on the personal behavior of the fans, and then symbolically punished several fans, depriving them of their right to watch at home, giving a public relations Explain, cope with the past; and, the Cardinals can also win the support of other teams, then the handling of things is no suspense.

Goodell could not offend the team for a Lu Ke.

The premise is that the position of Goodall ’s president is elected by the owners of thirty-two teams; at the same time, they can also jointly initiate a proposal to force Goodell to resign.

In other words, they were originally mutually beneficial communities of interest. As for Lu Ke? It was just an unknown soldier.

Not to mention that Lu Ke is just a rookie now. Even if he won the Super Bowl, in the face of the huge interests of the team and the league, he is still the one that was sacrificed, ignored and abandoned. Without suspense.

In this way of thinking, Goodall doesn't need to hesitate and hesitate at all, symbolically scolding the Arizona Cardinals, and asking the team to investigate thoroughly, and finally issued a warning without pain, and the matter is successfully concluded.

But now, the reason for the suspense is precisely because of the seemingly reasonable reasons.

Lu Ke is a lost rookie player. It has nothing to do with pain, no network, no power, not even fans; but in turn, this means that the future has unlimited possibilities, and now has a firm foothold in the league. Broke prejudice.

Lu Ke is the only starting Chinese player in the entire league. He is alone, helpless and unable to hold a group to launch a stronger protest; but from another perspective, this is a rare treasure, after all, things are rare and important It is this "unique".

The Chinese-American and even Asian-American groups represented by Lu Ke do not have a strong presence in North America, especially in the field of rugby; but changing their positions and thinking, positive and positive responses can shape A better alliance image lays the foundation for opening the Asian group market.

All of these have made Lu Ke possible, a possibility of "becoming a pivot to pry the earth".

Sitting in his office, Goodell's fingers tapped lightly on the desk of a solid sandalwood desk, making a knocking sound like a woodpecker, and recalled Lech's words again in his mind.

"The future is too far away, we can't predict it; the other side of the Pacific is too far away, and we can't talk in words. But, San Francisco is right in front of you. You should look at the city and Chinatown.

You need a Chinese player to open up the situation, not a player who can play at any time and rotate at any time, but a star, a star who can really bring victory, can create a topic, and can convey confidence. Perhaps, you should take a look at Lu Ke ’s previous performance in an interview, which can give you some inspiration.

Then you know that Lu Ke is your best choice. Not the only, but the best.

I know that Lu Ke is not Yao / Ming, but he may have a greater market potential than Yao / Ming. Everyone likes the great achievements of the No. 1 pick; but can anyone refuse the counterattack of losing the rookie? "

Lech did not conceal his purpose and intentions, and even had some red fruits; but Goodell could not refuse or refute.

If Lech ’s “race card”, because of correct politics and governance, he must choose to support Lu Ke and punish the Arizona Cardinals, then Goodell also has to agree that the strong momentum of the “Los Angeles Times” is also a factor that must be considered; but deep inside However, Goodell could not empathize with him because the Asian group's sense of presence in North America was still too weak. He could not always consider the two parties on an equal footing.

But Lech did not.

Lech emphasized the benefits, emphasized the market, and emphasized the essence of business, but this really hit Goodall's weakness.

Goodell is not a philanthropist, everything is related to interests.

"Jews." Goodell murmured softly, and then he couldn't help but smile, his beating fingers stopped, but his heart had already made a decision. Without too much repeated measurement, the instantaneous burst of decisive results gave people a glimpse of the iron fist and strong posture of the former president Paul Taliab.

The basic quality of being a owl is to be indecisive.

"Knock," the knock at the door, and the secretary's voice came, "Roger, the reporters are all here."

Goodell said in a loud voice, "I know. Tell them that the press conference officially started five minutes later."

Then Goodall stood up, took off his suit jacket from the hanger, buttoned it up after putting it on, confident and calm but calm, he could foresee that the strong winds would start, and the time for the league to change again, but, He was not nervous at all, but became more and more excited.

Because, history is about to be born in his hands. Again.

...

On Tuesday, December 13, 2011, the Arizona Cardinals played against the San Francisco 49ers in the fourteenth week of the regular season. Just forty-eight hours in the past, NFL President Roger Goodell held a press conference to officially The racist remarks that appeared during a match made an official stand.

Goodell said that this is a resolute boycott and opposition by the league. The NFL has always been committed to tolerance, fraternity and coexistence, and welcomes players from all over the world to join the sport.

Goodell said that the alliance is zero tolerance for such behavior, and ordered the Arizona Cardinals to complete the investigation and rectify to prevent any similar situation in the future.

Goodell also said that because of the incident, the Arizona Cardinals were fined half a million dollars, and a serious warning was given; if the crime is repeated in the future, the league will also give further severe punishment.

The entire press conference lasted 25 minutes. Goodell issued many official positions and also accepted interviews with reporters, but the most important point is "a fine of 500,000 US dollars", which is the maximum amount of fines the league has the right to fine. This is the absolute core of the whole conference.

This move alone is enough to prove the official attitude of the alliance: for such behavior, it will never be palliative and will be punished at the highest level.

This also made a gesture for other teams.

The legal system in the United States is the ocean law system. Unless the laws of a certain project need to be formulated in statutory law because of the needs of the objective environment or in order to resolve disputes, it is only necessary to judge the right and wrong based on the local past habits of the project.

To put it simply, this time the Arizona Cardinals had such a situation at home, and the league gave severe punishment. In the future, similar situations will appear in other teams.

Today, Goodell ’s statement at the press conference was the first step in creating history. For the first time, he truly expressed his support for Lu Ke from an official standpoint. Although it is said that the elimination of racial discrimination is a tendency with strong political / government correctness, the attitude of the alliance is not uncommon; but this step of Goodell is so radical, so bold, so determined, it is still a little unexpected.

After the press conference, the aftermath is far from over. To be precise, this is just the beginning.

Following the "Los Angeles Times", the "New York Times" also published a related report, actively participating in this rugby storm.

"Lu Ke: Whose cheese did he move?"

This report breaks the context of rugby from a more amateur, social and interesting perspective, and further analyzes the origin and motivation of this controversy:

As a Chinese player, on the one hand, he represents a group that has always been weak in North America, and on the other hand, he represents the strong rise of Chinese power in the international market. His position in the league is very special and touched some people. The interests of people have also touched some people's nerves.

The controversy in this game is not an end, but a beginning. In the following career, whether it is success or failure, Lu Ke will gather more focus and discussion on him. This is a sports event, but also a social event.

Although the "New York Times", which is far away from the "Los Angeles Times", is not as good as the "Wall Street Journal" and "USA Today", its authority is second to none. This newspaper is unrivalled in its ability to guide American public opinion. Many times, other local newspapers will even write relevant reports after reading the "New York Times" position.

This time, the "New York Times" obviously also stood behind Lu Ke.

It is worth mentioning that this report by The New York Times was written by a new reporter named Emily Puwo. If anyone is curious, she also graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles.
