And it hasn’t only been your friends and family to take the challenge. Everyone from Barack Obama to the owner of the New York Giants is getting involved now, and the latest big name to take the plunge is NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell posted his participation on his Twitter feed, and the comments ranged from “…we need to see some ice in that bucket” to “I challenge you to hold players accountable.” Such is life on the internet. Check out Goodell getting doused, and the reaction it sparked.
