One criticism of the American court system is that juries are composed entirely of people who are too stupid to get out of jury duty. In the sports world, Roger Goodell inadvertently attracted this criticism when he became the self-appointed judge, juror, and executioner of the inconsistent NFL disciplinary policy. He did it to "protect the shield", which as has been pointed out by an old classmate may mean he is protecting the owners, not the game or players or fans.
Just like Goodell, I am too stupid to get out of jury duty, and I'm writing this while sitting in a jury pool. The interminable waiting is frustrating. I've done this before. While coming up with an excuse for avoiding jury duty is tempting, I figure I should do it because this system is the worst imaginable except for all the alternatives. Never fear, peers, you'll get a fair hearing from me.
