So why wouldnt Rice be suspended for the new mandated 6 games?

So the league screwed up and then changed the penalty for first time domestic violence to 6 games.
What exactly in the elevator video would place it outside the realm of the new 6 game mandate?
If Rice is suspended a day longer than 6 weeks, it seems like he would have a slam dunk legal claim. Heck, it seems like he already has one for the league changing his original suspension.

The NFL is so f'd up it's absurd. Goodell is just a joke.

I'm guessing the League will hide behind "misleading an investigation."

Yes it does. If a team employs him...

The NFLPA has to appeal this decision.

Great question.
The ONLY thing I can think is that Rice either lied or grossly underplayed what happened in the elevator to the NFL (assuming he had face-to-face meetings with Goodell or other NFL officials). Similar to how Vick fricked himself when he lied to Goodell about his involvement in the dog fighting stuff. I'm not sure how involved Goodell was in Rice's investigation like he was Vick's.
Not saying it's right, just saying there is a precedent here for when people lie to Goodell.

There is no new mandate. The punishment is still up to the leagues discretion.

well since this is Goodell we are talking about here I imagine the thought process went something like
"OK there's one punch. That's 6 games. Ahh.. he hits her again? Well, that's a full season for multiple transgressions. This will show everyone we are serious about violence against women! Time for lunch!"

That's is one of my biggest issues with this.

I don't understand how he will possibly be suspended for longer than 6 games like the new rule says. It's not like the video uncovered some new evidence that we didn't already expect.
With that said he fully deserves a lengthy suspension and there is no way in hell I would want him representing the team I'm a fan of.
