Why is Roger Goodell’s wife kinda…

Roger Goodell’s wife is Jane Skinner, and he has been married to the former Fox News Channel anchor since 1997.
They have twin daughters, born in 2001.
Skinner and Goodell have been married for over 25 years, and their relationship started with a conversation about football.
Skinner has been retired from broadcast journalism since 2010, but she transitioned to behind the camera as she produced several NFL-related projects centered around female professionals working for the league.
When Roger Goodell shows up to games, Skinner is not too far behind him.
The biggest news she made was back in 2017 when she used a burner Twitter account under the alias @forargument to defend Roger Goodell from critics.
The Wall Street Journal questioned her about the account, which she admitted to running. She stated that she did it out of frustration and love.
“As a former media member, I’m always bothered when the coverage doesn’t provide a complete and accurate picture of a story,” Goodell said in a written statement to the Journal. “I’m also a wife and a mom. I have always passionately defended the hard-working guy I love — and I always will. I just may not use Twitter to do so in the future!”
