Fox Sports: When violence is more acceptable than slurs, we have a problem

We now live in the nation of the offended. Words are more of a crime than actions in the eyes of the internet mob. I guess the NFL has jumped on board.
Good job Goodell.

How? How in the world did we get to a place where the NFL conducts a rigorous investigation of Richie Incognito's text messages, but lets a player knock out his fiancee and barely lifts a finger? Where Josh Gordon faces a season-long suspension for smoking too much weed, but violent felons are free to play with limited punishment. Ray Rice is the flashpoint today, but this isn't so much about Ray Rice as it is the NFL's untenable position on punishments for violence. It's an upside down NFL world. Violence against women is acceptable, words or non-violent acts are often unacceptable. It's an infuriating and stupid and indefensible double standard, the exact opposite of what should happen. Violent acts should be punished infinitely more severely than non-violent acts or words.
well he is right

Goodell is such a pussy.
It's so fricked up the nfl trots around in pink for a whole month acting like they care about woman. Only reason that exists is for PR IMO
If they gave a damn about women or had a social conscience Rice would be out over a year

good read, and all true.. sadly

America is soft, God is viewed as offensive, people deserve 3rd and 4th chances, and everyone has to be equal.

Same thing applies to the NBA.
Choke out your coach? Punch random fan in the stands? 1 season suspension.
Tell your mistress to not advertise having sex with black guys? Banned for life.

Well, to be fair, domestic situations are little bit tricky, especially if the spouse has forgiven and is still with him. The NFL should have known 2 games would be seen as too light, though.

Hell, Pryor could have knocked out two women and only missed four games.

And don't even get me started on the NFL's absurd drug-testing policy suspensions. If you smoke too much weed you can miss an entire NFL season. That's the equivalent of knocking out eight women. (Ten if your team advances deep in the playoffs).

Violence is apparently more acceptable than adderall and weed

Seriously messed up justice system in the NFL, I figured after that fricker shot his wife to death last year the NFL might have taken domestic violence a bit more seriously than getting high... 
this league's discipline is a fricking joke...

The author is creating a red herring. Both are wrong but, obviously, violence is worse. But it's not an either/or.
It's also wrong to suspend someone longer for smoking a joint than for violence.

Agree on all counts.

Nothing will change unless a beloved all star celebrity player will go to the podium and speak the voice of reason. But players want their paycheck, and I don't blame them either, hell, it isn't their job to fix social problems.

Can't blame Goodell for the drug suspensions. The NFLPA negotiated and accepted that deal with the CBA.
