It didn’t take long for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to get an earful from the audience in Kansas City Thursday night to kick off the draft.
As soon as Goodell walked on the stage, he was booed loudly by the crowd in KC. Not surprisingly Goodell has never been shown much love at these events.
But the booing doesn’t seem to bother him, in fact, he seems to like it. But of course, fans had to express themselves on social media about how they really felt about the commish — and let’s just say it wasn’t flattering.

If it’s one thing that all NFL fans can agree on is their general hatred for Goodell.

Another thing fans may didn’t like at least the fans on social media, was all the pre-game junk which included having the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs on stage before the kick-off of the draft. Of course, Goodell will get dragged for that by fans also.
Biggest upset of the Draft.
Roger Goodell wasn't the most annoying person on the stage.#NFLDraft

Goodell also made some news before the draft. It appears as if he will sign an extension to continue to be the commissioner of the NFL which according to reports is the longest tenure since Pete Rozelle.
I’m sure that is going to thrill NFL fans when they hear that.
