CEO who last month was named chair of the NFL stadium project in Carson. Iger was listed as the No. 1 most influential person in sports business.Upcoming EventsNFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was ranked No. 4.Three of the six owners on the league’s L.A. Owners Committee were on the list, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft (No. 11); Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson (No. 21); and New York Giants owner John Mara (No. 36).And Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner who has been outspoken in favor of Kroenke’s Inglewood, California, stadium project, came in at No. 14.Also on the list is Don Garber, commissioner of Major League Soccer.
