Oh well...

Here's Vito's take on it:

Quote:I actually thought Goodell did the right thing because the prosecutors decided not to file charges, saying they couldn’t determine whether Hill or his fiancée abused their three-year-old son. Both said they used hands to spank him and belts to whip him but denied abusing him.

I think the NFL should let law enforcement decide whether to charge players. If they aren’t convicted of a crime, I don’t think the NFL should discipline the players.

Instead, they decided to have Hill undergo clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention, which is obviously a good idea since Hill seems to have anger issues. Hill will benefit from that more than he will from being suspended and/or fined.

I like the idea of clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention. We brush off mental disorders and anger issues in this Country entirely too much. I also still believe that he certainly should have received some type of suspension for the recording alone. 

Just two years ago the NFL suspended Ezekiel Elliot of the Cowgirls for SIX games after the NFL investigated for over a year regarding reports of domestic violence between him and a former girlfriend or former girlfriends. He was NEVER charged with a crime. 

But, this is the NFL we're talking about here. They've yet to show any proven consistency with disciplinary actions under Goodell's leadership.
