ESPN Suspends Simmons for Calling NFL's Goodell a Liar
Posted in: Uncategorized
ESPN has suspended commentator Bill Simmons for three weeks after he called National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell a liar in a podcast this week.
In the podcast, Mr. Simmons said Mr. Goodell and the NFL were lying by saying they didn’t know what was on a security videotape that showed Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee and knocking her unconscious in an elevator.
“Goodell, if he didn’t know what was on the tape, he’s a liar,” Mr. Simmons said. “If you put him up on a lie-detector test, that guy would fail.”
