NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed various topics during his Super Bowl week press conference, including officiating controversies surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs, the league's commitment to diversity, the potential for an 18-game season, and international expansion plans. Goodell denied notions of favoritism towards the Chiefs, emphasizing the league's dedication to fair officiating.
disputed the perception that officials favor the Kansas City Chiefs, saying it’s a “ridiculous theory.”
A questionable spot on Josh Allen’s sneak on fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s 32-29 victory over Buffalo in the AFC championship game became a major point of contention. Goodell said the league will continue to work with partners to develop the technology needed to potentially help with spotting the ball in the future.Goodell said he doesn’t believe the NFL’s policies to promote diversity are in conflict with the Trump administration’s efforts to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.
“We also believe we are doing the right thing for the NFL and our policies are consistent with the current administration as well as the last administration.”“I do think there’s potential that someday we will have an international franchise. If we do, it would not surprise me at all if a Super Bowl follows and is played there,” Goodell said.
The league hasn’t had formal negotiations with the players’ union about adding a game to the season but Goodell said he has had informal discussions with NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell Jr.
