“Such a clown” – Alleged video of Roger Goodell’s reaction to wild comment has NFL fans in disbelief

It's no secret that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is one of the most disliked people in the league. Fans don't like his rules and some of his opinions are considered controversial when compared to how fans and players feel about certain topics.

Goodell was at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday to watch the NFC Wild Card game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants. While many saw him at the game, some were unsure if a video that surfaced actually captured the NFL commissioner.

In a video posted to Twitter, a Minnesota Vikings fan heckles a man he believed to be Roger Goodell. He threw expletives his way as he walked off the field after the game. The man turned around and mocked the the Minnesota Vikings' famous 'Skol' celebration.

The question remains as to whether that was truly Roger Goodell or just a doppelganger. But that didn't stop NFL fans from voicing their opinions on social media about his actions.

Many mentioned that the commissioner would fine NFL players if they did such a thing towards a fan. Others called him a clown and some just found the entire exchange hilarious.

When was Roger Goodell named NFL Commissioner?

On August 8, 2006, Roger Goodell was named the new commissioner of the NFL, beating out Gregg Levy for the position. Goodell's career in the NFL started in 1982 when he was an administrative intern for the NFL's office in New York.

He was hired as an intern for the New York Jets in 1983 but that position didn't last long as he decided to take another position in the league's office. This time, he worked with the league's public relations department.

In 1987 Goodell was hired as the assistant to AFC president Lamar Hunt. In the years that followed, he worked his way up the ranks of the NFL's operations. In 2001, received a big promotion that would put him in line to eventually become league commissioner.

In 2001, then commissioner Paul Tagliabue named him the NFL's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (COO for short). In 2006, when Paul Tagliabue retired, Goodell was voted by the NFL owners to be the next commissioner of the NFL.

As with commissioners before him, his every decision has continued to be questioned.
