I realise it's all talk and probably nothing will come of it, but you can't just say that. He's undermining the league, setting a bad example, etc. If I was Goodell I'd come down hard on saying things like that. Nobody deserves to go on the field fearing they may get hurt illegally because the punishments are too tame for these multi-millionaire showmen.
In the English Premier League players and managers can get fines and bans just for criticizing officials, which can be a bit OTT in my view but at least the league makes an effort to stamp out dissrespectful behaviour. And I'm sure if a player said they were going to go out on the weekend and break someone's leg, they'd expect a lengthy ban.
