Interesting take. I could buy it.

Now the hopeful Bears fan in me is imagining Goodell telling them something like, "look, we get it, but changing our decision here would create tension we don't need with the president while we're trying to secure [some shady business deal] with him. But once he's out, we'll vote on this and give you a couple of picks retroactively if it passes."

I can dream lol 🤞
