Quote:It's an image problem. Manziel did nothing against the rules. However he represents the Browns, and this is not how the Browns want to be represented. The public perception of the Browns face of the franchise is a guy that would party rather than trying to master his craft. The Browns want this perception to change and manziel is not helping in any way shape or form. The Browns have right to demote manziel, and they are right in burying him on the depth chart.

Well said. There's nothing wrong with having a couple of drinks with the guys after work. But if you're employed by a billion dollar corporation and they ask you to tone it down a little because they don't want to be represented in that light by the public and you don't, they have a right to demote you, suspend you, or fire you. It would be the same for any of us regular joes at our regular jobs.
