The question yet to be answered isn't it...

yeah, i get the outrage towards nfl and i hope it gets worse for them but prosecutors dont even get half the grunt nfl gets. i think some people want nfl to make up for the shortcomings of criminal justice system.


Couldn't have stated it any better than that.

Yes, there is a screw up, and **** like this is greatly costing the league right now in ratings. This is one of many, many situations which Goodell has handled poorly, and they are starting to see it backfire.


Goodell only does what the owners tell him to and the league isnt losing out to baseball or basketball anytime soon.
ratings are down for economical reasons if at all. No one gives a damn about the kicker because no one gives a damn about the countless other things the players are caught for time and again over the years.

ratings are down because people cant work and cant pay for the nfl channel etc

Ratings are down because there is so much on the line in this upcoming presidential election. I'm also hearing in my neck of the woods that fans are up to their ears with officiating, what is a catch and what isn't, trying to interpit what is a late hit and what isn't, as some teams benefit from the rule and others don't when their QB gets killed. And to back up some of the points mentioned above, why players are getting fined for different shoes, majiuana use, T.D. celebrations, etc., while turning a blind eye domestic abuse, wife and children beating and the star spangled banner.

you just proved my point. The nfl does exactly what it wants. Your interpretation of right and wrong is meaningless to how they conduct business.
whats on the line now that wasnt before in elections? Its a meaningless waste of time to watch debates. Its not some intellectual exercise in/of freedom. Its two morons insulting each other for laughs from scripts they were given because they dont hate each other and hang out together when its over anyway. An elite class that doesnt give a damn about any of us.

So he's suspended with pay while the NFL & Giants "investigate" the issue.

He should have played his last game in the NFL.

If these documents actually exist then the NFL shouldn't be looking into this, it should be a major criminal matter.

Instead of the other way around which seems to happen far too often with these DV incidents.

He has been released by the Giants.

I'm still not sure how this isn't a criminal matter.

Anyone else getting the feeling that the Giants & the NFL are trying to sweep this one under the rug?

I have hated the NFL's approach towards domestic violence for a long time now, and this is not helping. It reminds me of those horrible commercials they ran with NFL personalities looking like deer in the headlights and at a loss for words with the tagline "violence against women is tough to discuss" or something like that.

No, it isn't. It is only tough to discuss if you want your organization to look really good when they've done a crap job regarding the issue.

But deflate a game ball? They'll go to court over that! Got to protect the integrity of the NFL!
