[QUOTE="23statcity, post: 10044648, member: 1675]Ok first of all people have been commenting on these exact issues but the NFL muddied the issue by not punishing the players adequately from the jump or even having penalites in place.[/QUOTE]
Do you remember what shows or articles dicussed it recently? I saw several morning news shows on friday (Today, Morning Joe, CBS) and I dont recall them saying anything about how the families/victims move forward. They did applaud the Ravens owner for cutting Ray Rice though. I just don't understand how the football penalty of missing 2-3 games, especially Hardy's, really makes much of a difference in their actual lives. If Ray Rice was suspended for four games, it seems like there wouldn't have been the public outcry, but that doesn't make everything better. Hardy would probably be playing without the media backlash. It just seems like people are discussing this because it brings in ratings without adressing all aspects of the issue.
