When did the NFL become our National Moral Compass?

There's a federal judge, Mark Fuller in Alabama who recently pleaded guilty to DV against his 2nd wife in Georgia and this is after divorce filling from his 1st marriage detailed years of abuse. Fuller has a lifetime appointment and presided over the trails of former Gov. Don Siegelman and former Health South CEO Richard Scrushy. He's a pretty powerful individual yet there's no national outrage or demands that he resign or that judicial branch of government be more transparent in how they address domestic violence charges against their employees.

The DA in the Ray Rice case saw the same tape people are grilling Goodell about and yet he's gone relatively unscathed. This is despite the DA going against the recommendation of a felony indictment by the Grand Jury. He instead agreed to a pre-trial diversion program. Why is there no one camped outside of his office demanding an explanation and greater accountability?

Looking to the NFL to "address" Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, and all other societal ills is dumb. Imagine if the mob mentality turned towards their local District Attorney's office and their record for prosecuting abusers? What if the media demanded answers about the level of funding for Child Welfare and other social service agencies tasked with addressing child abuse and well-being? How the NFL disciplines it's employees is not as important as knowing which of my state representatives supported the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. One is nothing more than a talking point until the next scandal comes along while the other impacts the safety of my family and the community I reside in.

I said all of that to say, I wish people would learn to focus on the real issues . . . and yes it's tl/dr
