The piece reads in part:
Spend any time around Norman and it’s easy to understand how he became one of the NFL’s most interesting, and polarizing, players. Riding in an Uber past the Eiffel Tower and during hours of idle conversation over the next two days, he offers thoughts on everything and everyone, including NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (“Horrible. He’s straight horrible.”), the league’s crackdown on big hits (“What happened to us? Society is so soft.”) and Washington’s nickname (“Redskins is not offensive to me. I’m part Native American on both my mom’s and my dad’s side. It’s kind of a funny thing, though. A redskin playing for the Redskins.”).
Norman isn’t the only anti-Goodell faction within the NFL. The commissioner has racked up plenty of enemies as he enforces his will on the league without any system of checks and balances. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Johnny Manziel Gets Tattoo Of AR-15 [PHOTOS])
