Let me quote you:
Businesses don’t make money by firing their best employees.
If they start paying attention to what you do away from work they run the risk of having to break that rule. So smart businesses avoid knowing what you do away from work unless it impacts work. You can Ray Rice your wife all day long, it’s only a problem for the place you work if it lands on youtube with their name attached or the jail times makes you miss deadlines.
The point of the statement is to remind people the NFL is a business, a fairly immoral one. They don’t care about his behavior until it started hurting them.
Just as they don’t care about the players from the 70s, 80s and 90s who helped to build the NFL and who are suffering now because their bodies are destroyed.
