4 years would be even better. I wish he’d never play again.
I don't get it. Either they feel they have evidence he assaulted multiple women or they don't. He wasn't prosecuted by the law either. But their own documents in support of the 6 game suspension basically said he raped multiple women.
So either you can't prove he did anything wrong (as a court of law found) or you can. If you can't then there should be zero suspension. If you can, and your own documents make it clear you think you can, then he should be thrown out of the league permanently.
I can't see the middle ground here. Personally I think he's a predator. But if the courts couldn't get enough evidence to bring him to trial then I side with no suspension. But if the NFL feels they have enough for 6 games then to me it's probably enough for a lifetime ban considering the seriousness of the allegations and apparent findings by the NFL.

Well said. I completely agree.

Read the ruling. Civil courts and the suspension process have a different burden of proof (preponderance of evidence) than a criminal grand jury. Same reason people can get acquitted of a crime but convicted in a civil suit.

That's not really what happened at all.
