So You Wanna Talk to the Bigwigs? How to Send a Message to the NFL
Let's face it, we've all had those moments while watching a questionable call or a head-scratching fumble recovery. Maybe you've got a brilliant idea for a new rule (think glow-in-the-dark footballs for night games!), or perhaps you just wanna tell Roger Goodell what a fantastic job he's doing (cue nervous laughter). Whatever your reason, here's your guide to navigating the NFL's communication labyrinth.
Hold Your Horses, Champ! Not All Messages Are Created Equal
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Before you start composing your epic email, take a deep breath and consider your message. Here's a breakdown of the best avenues for your NFL-related musings:
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
- Got a burning question or need help with the NFL app? The NFL Digital Care team is your go-to. Head over to their website and fill out a "Submit a Request" form. Be specific! The more details you provide, the faster they can get you sorted.
- It's rant o'clock and you gotta vent? Social media might be your best bet. Twitter is a great platform to voice your (hopefully respectful) opinions, but remember, the official NFL account (@NFL) might not be the most receptive audience. Try tweeting your local team or a sports news outlet. You never know, your rant might go viral! Warning: Keep it classy. The internet is forever, and flaming the league on social media might not get you the results you're looking for.
For Your Eyes Only: Reaching Out Directly
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Now, if your message requires a more private touch, you have a couple of options:
Tip: Skim once, study twice.

- Email with Elegance: A well-crafted email can work wonders. Use the general inquiries email address (enquiries@nfl.com) and craft a clear subject line. Nobody likes wading through mystery emails! Briefly explain your reason for contacting them in the body of the email. Be polite and professional. Remember, you're trying to start a conversation, not a fight.
- Phone It In (Maybe): There is a customer service number (800-635-5300) you can try, but be prepared for hold times that might rival a flag review.
Important Note: These are just general guidelines. There might be specific email addresses for different departments within the NFL. For example, if you have a legal question, there's a separate email address for that (nflprivacy@nfl.com).
Frequently Asked Questions (Because We Know You Have Them):
- How to ensure my message gets a response? There's no guaranteed reply, but courtesy and clarity go a long way.
- Can I send fan art or game ideas? While they might not be able to use your ideas directly, the NFL does appreciate creativity! There's a chance they might even feature your work on their social media channels.
- What if I have a complaint about a specific game? The NFL website has a dedicated section for filing officiating complaints (https://www.football-refs.com/fan-complaints/).
- Is there a way to contact a specific player? Unfortunately, there's no direct way to contact players through the NFL. However, you can try reaching out to them via their verified social media accounts.
- Can I send Roger Goodell a personal message? While unlikely to reach his inbox directly, you can always try the general inquiries email address (enquiries@nfl.com). Just be prepared for a more generic response.
So there you have it! With a little know-how, you can craft the perfect message and (hopefully) get a response from the NFL. Remember, keep it respectful, be clear, and who knows, you might just spark the next great innovation in professional football (glow-in-the-dark footballs anyone?).
