NFL's Roger Goodell condemns 'senseless' NYC shooting, calls it 'an attack on our way of life'

As one can understand, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was emotional discussing the tragic mass shooting at the league's headquarters in New York City that left four dead on Monday night. 

Goodell made an appearance on NBC ahead of the NFL Hall of Fame Game, which kicks off the 2025 season in Canton, Ohio. Speaking with Mike Tirico, Goodell condemned the "senseless" act of violence that also left an NFL employee "seriously injured."

"There’s no excuses for these senseless acts," Goodell said. "They’re hard on all of us to understand. It inflicts pain on people you know and people you care about and people you deal with on a daily basis. That’s particularly hard.
