The term “bounty” simply means a reward for something. The issue here is what is that “something”? Was it for forced fumbles, interceptions, key tackles (such as on 3rd down), QB sacks/hurries/knockdowns/remember me hits? Or was it for knockouts, cart-offs, and in general causing injury to specific players?

Florio, you have altered Goodell’s writing for an unknown purpose: who put the brackets “[pay-for-performance/bounty]” in that quote? You?
That bracket wording is vital to the understanding of what Goodell told Hargrove.
Whose words are “pay-for-performance’ versus “bounty”? – those are two separate things and cannot be interchanged…
…unless your goal is to keep it convoluted.
If Hargrove admits to participating in a “bounty” program, then there is no doubt that “players deliberately tried to injure opponents” – what is a bounty? Tackling an opposing player? Nonsense.
