Roger Goodell Expected To Be A No-Show At 49ers Game.

UPDATE: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did not show up to the 49ers game on Sunday night though he had been scheduled to make an appearance. Pressure has been building on Goodell to resign in the wake of a domestic violence scandal involving former Ravens star Ray Rice.

Earlier from HuffPost:

Facing intense criticism in light of the Ray Rice probe, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly intends to renege on a long-standing promise to attend the San Francisco 49ers' season opener at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, according to Comcast Sportsnet.

"I think [Goodell is] scheduled to come," 49ers President Paraag Marathe told NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai on Friday night. "He usually comes to most stadium openings, so I expect him to."

The commissioner had pledged to attend Sunday's game back in April 2012, when construction on Levi's Stadium first began. It's unclear where Goodell actually plans to be during the game, which starts at 8:30 p.m. EST Sunday See MORE
