It's called Roger Goodell pretzel logic. Someone who smokes marijuana is eight times worse than someone who knocks their girlfriend out in an elevator.
That as well.
But repeated force to the frontal lobe has pretty much proven beyond doubt to decrease the action->consequence processing ability of the brain & increase agression.
Basically a good-natured football player/boxer etc. will probably not become a delinquent as he has enough innate restraint - the borderline cases will however quickly turn nasty with enough hits to the 'ol nut.
It shows how the morals of the country has sunk so low. Goddell went so light on the dirtbag because he is a star and fans love the little punk and he keeps asses in the seats. Goddell is some kind of shytt bag himself to devalue women early on. He suspends a player for smoking pot for a full season (pot is legal in several states and it is a victimless crime in others) while beating up a woman warrants only two games. You friggin kidding me?
Goddell did not want to man up early on and come down on Rice hard and heavy. The backlash has led him to suspend the man and the Ravens organization is just as scumbag as Goddell.
IMO Goddell should commit hari kari, but that is extreme so maybe the bastard should just step down.
If I was Goodell I'd keep it simple. Suspend him six games, in light of the new evidence and move on. Let the media moralizers wail. Most of them just like to hear themselves roar as public defenders of morality. Makes then feel relevant I guess. Even media loudmouths could understand that rules are rules.
If the league wants lifetime bans for players charged with felony assault but not convicted, then they need to collectively bargain that with the players.
I honestly don't know what behaviour clauses are currently bargained with the players.
That's really what it comes down to -what can the Ravens legally do to Rice vis-a-vis his contract. If they overstep, he will sue. He has to, and the players union will have to support him.
We had a post that asked about morally corrupt films, I want to say hows about morally corrupt teams?
Baltimore Ravens
Detroit Lions
I think at least 3 NFL players have actually been found to have killed their wives or girlfriends. Look it up. I think 3 is about right. I'm including OJ.
Another one, the Patriots receiver, is currently sitting in jail, facing multiple murder charges
At any given time the 32 NFL teams have roughly 1700 players on rosters not including practise rosters. That'a a lot of players, many of whom have never had money before and might come from sketchy backgrounds.
As we have seen, a percentage will be charged with violent crime, DUI's, and other criminal activity. It's unfortunatley part of the make-up of some NFL players.
League needs clear policy as to what sanctions they will take against those charged, convicted etc.
IMO Rice is just another name on the blotter. Law enforcement let him loose. 6 games is apparently new league policy. Do it and move on. If he does it again, the courts will probably toss him in jail for a second offence and it will be out of the league's hands anyway.
I do think its admirable that the league will make efforts to educate and take steps against domestic violence, and help with the broader societal effort, but given the history of criminal activity by its players its naive to think, criminal activity won't continue, including domestic violence.
This has caused such a big flap because its a guy hitting a girl, which is understandably going to provoke more societal outrage than than the usual thuggery...but still I think there are way too many media pundits, climbing up on their soap boxes to lecture the league, because its big and powerful and makes lots of money, and they love the chance to knock it down.
I submit the history of DV the past few years: Terrell Suggs has had multiple DV issues, and that worthless Dez Bryant the WR with Dallas was arrested for slapping his mother. HIS MOTHER!
@haserot sorry your Steelers fell to the Ravens, I was pulling for you guys.
This is just a symptom of the many wrong choices made in the NFL due to the holy dollar, and it will not change anytime soon.
Like with the UEFA & FIFA when it comes to football.
I pity the Jets going to Green Bay who will be pissed after their poor showing against Seattle.
You must hate my teams being a 9ers fan haha. I'm pretty sure you'll get the win on Sunday.
The Vikings have already dropped him for this weekend's game.
He is worst than Terrell Suggs, Ray Rice, and Roger Goddell.
I do not think there is any excuse for abuse whatever history you might have. The old ways are not better. How many children die every year because of parental "corrections"? I saw the statistics in my country, and did not realize that kids died because of it but they do. I am no longer in favor of physical punishment due to that perception.
I guess since Jay Cutler was not in a "giving" mood, Kaepernick decided to play Santa Claus.
That and combined with San Diego's shocker over Seattle. Arizona is alone in first.
The justice system will deal with Peterson, and I'm sure the NFL will also pull some inadequate response out of its clueless arse as well.
This poor beleaugered league really does need some firm policy as to what do about its members who are charged with criminal behaviour.
These situations have become almost as common as routine in-game flag violations.
Never mind the league publishing weekly injury lists. Oddsmakers will soon have weekly criminal suspension lists to consult. Run of the mill stuff now.
Rice is planning to sue the league for lost income, double jeopardy etc. I knew it. Could see that coming a mile away, and he's right. I don't think the league has any legal cover.
Meanwhile, for the purest of politically incorrect reasons, I have adopted the Washington Redskins as my team for this year. As I don't live in an NFL city, I have to pick a new team each season to root for. So sad about RG3. Damn!
