Did the NFL send the right message with Ray Rice's 2 game suspension?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

what message are they trying to send? I long believed that the NFL shouldn't punish players on matters outside the playing field. Let the judicial system run it's course. Same with all sports leagues IMO

Sports leagues are held to their own internal standards. The judicial system has no role there.

Man this is how most people feel at this point. We really dont give a shyt about the length of the suspension, what Stephen A said, or this punk ass controversy. We just want to watch some football. But the media is trumping this shyt up like its the story of the year when really the audience wants them to move on.

talking about the suspension says nothing about when football actually can be played dummy. This is just filling time until then.

They could be talking about training camp. Thats what the fans been trying to talk about all day on sports radio.

Its not filling time, its wasting time.

I agree. They could be spending time talking about TC.

Theres nothing to talk about.

1. domestic violence is serious
2. you'd find another reason to bytch if all they talked about was football johnny or some other future bust in training camp.

deal with it.

But they arent really making a stand on the drug issue. That suspension length was written in the books and collectively bargained. So they can hand out drug suspensions all day and not even sweat because the punishments have been agreed upon.

The NFL not trying to put suspensions on the books for domestic abuse. I mean are you gonna get 1 game for shaking a bytch, 2 if you hit her but she not really that hurt, and 4 if you knock her out? Is the suspension reduced if she hit you first or if she has a weapon? How you think something like that gonna play with the feminists?

Essentially that's where my confusion is. Want is the amount that they expected/wanted?

All the nfl has to say is off field issues are handled by the court system unless something happens on the field we have no jurisdiction to step in.

I got an email when this broke from this org that request you to sign petitions and shyt. Apparently, 40% of the leagues fans are females. Find that extremely hard to believe. As much as I've heard women say they're fans, I challenge you brehs to watch an entire slate of Sunday games with a woman and come back and tell us how unbearable it is. Granted there are some women who know the game but 40%, gtfoh with that number

Unless charges are put on him. I don't see the problem. They are football players. I don't expect them to be upstanding citizens anyway.

Two games sounds about right.

But all jokes aside. If there are no charges coming, it's a domestic issue and if the police can't lock him up the NFL shouldn't be playing police. Two games is the max in this situation.

So what about the NFL's stance on how teams treat cheerleaders? they basically work for free and get treated like escorts at some events.

This is the only thing that confuses me about people's priorities...
Everybody bytching about what the nfl did, what about the actual law and judicial system whose purpose is to send a message and curb the general public, which includes nfl players, from committing these acts...

Aint they only coming through with anger management, counseling, or some other DV program...
Hell, the nfl took 2 games and a few $100 grand out his pocket...
The law aint done sh!t compared to that, but everybody pissed at the nfl...

Bizarro world, i tell you...

And what about equal rights. If he had knocked a guy out and got suspended 2 games would there be complaints? They're saying a woman's worth is more than mine
