Quote:Why should the state attorney be handling this?  Domestic abuse is clearly a football issue.  

 

Seriously, though.  It's amazing how people are treating the NFL like it's a branch of government, and like Goddell holds a position in political office.  It's OK that he wasn't even charged with a crime, but allowing him to ever step foot on a football field ever again is unacceptable.       

 

If this video came out for an employee or teacher or government worker, it would be the same thing.  NFL isn't being held to a different standard in that sense.  But this is one of the pitfalls of being America's most popular sport.  People care.  You can't have it both ways.  Want people to care when it benefits you and not want them to care when it doesn't..  Employers fire people all the time when something big hits the presses.  It's not okay he wasn't charged with a crime.  People are [BAD WORD REMOVED] about that too.  But it also isn't okay if and I do mean if, Goodell lied.  There also is a problem with Ray Rice being given 2 games to indefinite ban simply because we saw the video.  Most people felt 2 games was incredibly weak by the NFL.  People were [BAD WORD REMOVED] then too.  This is just what made everything boil over.  Goodell dropped the ball no matter how you slice it.
