Roger Goodell is one of the finalists for Time magazine's 2014 Person of the Year.

The NFL commissioner joins Ferguson protesters, Ebola caregivers, Vladimir Putin, Taylor Swift, Jack Ma, Tim Cook and Masoud Barzani on the shortlist of candidates.

Goodell has been under serious public scrutiny in 2014 after the league mishandled several domestic abuse cases, including the high-profile botched punishment of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.
