Falcons' Rich McKay Reinstated To NFL Competition Committee

Falcons President & CEO Rich McKay met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in N.Y. yesterday and was "advised of the decision to be re-instated" as Chair of the league's Competition Committee, "effective immediately." McKay was suspended on April 1 from the committee "as part of the team's penalty for pumping fake noise into the Georgia Dome" during '13 and '14. He was eligible to apply for reinstatement after June 30. The NFL found that McKay was "unaware of the artificial crowd noise but 'bared some responsibility'" (AJC.com, 8/27).
