The Commissioner of the NFL Is the Ultimate in Shareholder Responsibility
The NFL itself is a very thin layer on top of a whole bunch of teams that are their own very large businesses. Roger Goodell makes 40 plus million dollars a year to do what the owners want and they hire him to do that and they will fire him if he doesn't do that.

So yeah, the commissioner of the NFL is like the ultimate in shareholder responsibility. In fact, shareholder responsibility is his only responsibility.
