N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $44.2 million in 2012, making him among the best-paid executives in the country and perhaps the highest-paid leader of a nonprofit organization. The amount of Goodell's compensation increased about 50 percent from 2011, largely because of a bonus and pension payment of $9.1 million that he deferred two years ago after a labor dispute between the league and its players. The deferral ensured that other league employees were paid in full. While Goodell's pay is a sliver of the roughly $10 billion that the league generates annually, it exceeds the amount paid at far larger businesses and highlights the tax-exempt status that the league's head office -- though not its teams -- has had for decades.

IMO you're wrong here. By your logic, some head coaches should be making over $20M a year. Some GMs should be making more than the head coach. So head coaches make more than all their players? The athletes are the ones that should be paid the most...they are the ones bringing in the revenue...NOT Roger Godell. And you can't really compare the every day jobs to that of a professional athlete...lol.
