Roger Goodell, commissioner of football,
Hypocrisy and greed his sinful downfall.
Denier of traumatic brain injury,
For huge salaries he commits perjury.
Early onset of Alzheimer’s for players,
Black profits for these management betrayers.
Depression and dementia lodged in the brain,
But concussions Roger does disclaim.
Athletes with ravaged minds commit suicide,
As the NFL and Goodell all misguide.
Their playbook learned from the tobacco lie,
While their sources of income savagely die.
Roger, high school athlete of the year,
Denies compassion the cross we all must bear.
