Ultimately, they want the NFL to resemble the NBA.

Was Hillary Clinton throwing lamps at Bill considered domestic violence? Just "bench her", (no, NOT the Supreme court!) suspend her for the next Presidential election season.

Of the course the NFL is being led around on a leash by the media. The NFL is nothing more than a media construct these days, and in a bizarre way the NFL is probably thrilled with all of this coverage no matter how negative it may be.
They have successfully jumped the shark from a professional sports league to a 24/7 TV/internet drama with all of the . media frenzy that involves. They've been a headline story for weeks now, and the NFL's ticket sales and TV ratings will be the same regardless of whether or not Ray Rice and Greg Hardy ever suit up again for their teams.

If these guys were Average Joes, they'd be behind bars. You're right, judges are too lenient on celebs, athletes AND politicians. Surely, there's a morals clause in those contracts. If they were my employees, they'd never darken my door again and I certainly wouldn't rehire them with a wink-wink like Vick.

I alluded to that in a post on another thread. In schools, black children are disciplined at a higher rate than white children, so it must be racism. The solution is more "tolerance." It is the same in the NFL or the NBA. More black players will be disciplined over time than white players, and the drum beat will be that it is racism.
We have had any number of stories of black players who were fathered out of wedlock, or abandoned by their father, their mother was a drug addict and the player was raised by the auntie or grandmother. The player struggled, worked hard and eventually played at the college level and made it to the NFL, garnering all the riches and status that comes with it. The player is hailed as a role model. Suddenly, because of allegations of domestic violence, that could all be gone in a flash. This is not sitting well with the black community and the player's wives. Is there going to be a backlash against the feminists and the media? We shall see.

"Was Hillary Clinton throwing lamps at Bill considered domestic violence?" Absolutely. And anyone considering running against her should not be afraid to point it out.

Brutal cavemen thugs- 90% of them- which is why they play a violent sport. No thugs-no football.

There will be a backlash against the enforcers, i.e., NFL management.

The announce on CBS, NE vs Minn game (I’m only passively watching) said Adrian Peterson is accused of beating his son with a tree branch.
It was a switch, not a frickin log.
Way to stay classy CBS.

Bill Clinton violated a young intern, raped numerous others, and, he continues to play.Yeah, why can't TMZ use their investigative powers to catch William Jefferson Blythe Clinton in flagrante? You know he's been tagging bimbos seven days a week ever since he exited the WH.
Oh, TMZ doesn't want to?
I see.

TMZ has been breaking these stories I seem to recall that the National Enquirer broke the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal.
