The NFL has tried several times to lure Adam Silver from the NBA. The NFL is a cesspool of conservative male privilege and its corruption, of boorish behavior--and worse--of mistreatment of its Black players and its female employees. NFL owners are Trump supporters on the whole. I doubt that as many NBA owners are. The NBA is the gold standard of enlightened partnership, an "association" among all stakeholders, owners, players, employees, and league-union relations. And they have Silver Standard of commissioners. Steph Curry said that he called Adam on the Robert Sarver situation and was grateful that Adam took his call and listened to what Steph had to say. I very much doubt that Roger Goodell would take Lamar Jackson's call if Jackson phoned. Goodell and owners blackballed Colin Kaepernick from pursuing his living in professional football for "taking a knee." The poster boy du jour for NFL owners behaving badly, he's a perennial for the award, is Daniel Snyder of the Washington "Redskins." From the "Skins" hometown newspaper Chief WaPo:

Sentiments among NFL team owners regarding Daniel Snyder’s ownership of the Washington Commanders have shifted significantly, as they await the findings of both a congressional investigation and a league-commissioned probe into allegations of misconduct by him and his team. Multiple owners said in recent days that they believe serious consideration may be given to attempting to oust Snyder from the league’s ownership ranks, either by convincing him to sell his franchise [see Donald Sterling ne Tokowitz] or by voting to remove him.

...
One owner this week was particularly forceful...

“He needs to sell,” that owner said. “Some of us need to go to him and tell him that he needs to sell.”

The NFL is looking over its shoulder at the Gold and Silver standards:

The apparent shift among some team owners also may be related to the recent developments involving Robert Sarver, owner of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.

Speaking about the Snyder situation, the NFL owner who spoke most forcefully said the league and its team owners “need to have it happen like the NBA just had,” emphasizing that the preferable outcome would be convincing Snyder to sell voluntarily. 

...
That sentiment is not unanimous.
...
...other owners who spoke were less emphatic...
...
A third owner said recently that a move to oust Snyder would be surprising...

...
“We now need the NFL community, including players, owners, and corporate sponsors, to demonstrate the same outrage and moral strength as those in the NBA community and force accountability for these egregious actions,” the attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, said in a statement. “Like Robert Sarver, Dan Snyder must go.”

This paean to the NBA's greatness and the NFL's degradation would be incomplete without mention of the most recent NBA incident however, one that is disturbing. I write of course of the year-long suspension of Boston "Celtics" coach Ime Udoka. Boston owner Wyc Grousbeck and president for basketball operations Brad Stevens each spoke movingly, Stevens teared up with sympathy for the org's female employees, of the uncharted territory they were in in deciding on a punishment and how they went with their gut and their conscience as to what was the right thing to do. And Udoka accepted the org's decision and punishment. 

That however won't do. The suspension of one of the pro game's most glittering coaching stars needs to be explained and no one, not Grousbeck, not Stevens, not Udoka, no one and at no time has their been any detail to the misconduct that led to this unprecedented punishment and we the fans, the players, other coaches, owners, the Association office, need to know what proposition this ruling stands for, what precedent has been set. The Association uses a quasi-legal analytical method: What was done in similar, however remotely similar, factual situations previously. We don't know, they will not know for the future, because no one is talking about what the factual situation was. Knowing so little we who speak on the matter can be dismissed for making any judgment but the judgment is without sufficient information because no one will provide us sufficient information. That's not on us, that's on them. It doesn't look like we will ever know and for that the "Celtics" and the association office can and must be rightly condemned for un-NBA behavior.
