If you’ve logged on to Twitter recently, you may have noticed that Roger Goodell doesn’t have a lot of fans on the social media website. However, he definitely has at least one fan who has been supporting him over the past few months with a secret account and that fan is his wife.
Yup, the NFL Commissioner’s wife has a secret Twitter account and she’s been using it to defend her husband against the media.
Jane Skinner Goodell, a former Fox News news host who married Goodell in 1997, admitted to the Wall Street Journal this week that she has a secret Twitter account (@Forargument), which is used for just one purpose: To defend her husband.
“It was a REALLY silly thing to do and done out of frustration — and love.” Skinner told the WSJ. “As a former media member, I’m always bothered when the coverage doesn’t provide a complete and accurate picture of a story. 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!”
