This all could have been avoided if Rice were given a stiffer penalty than, say, smoking weed. I mean, come on NFL.
To be fair, I don't think that was Gordon's first offense.

Way too heavy handed. Goddell is a joke
Pretty sure if my job knew I was arrested twice for domestic violence, I'd be fired too.
Probably pretty standard for most jobs, no?

Damn. That's a pretty aggressive PR campaign to remove the egg a day after dropping the Josh Gordon news

Interesting point

Good.
Once COULD be the result of a misunderstanding, but twice shows a pattern.

This pretty much confirms why the NFL waited so long with the Gordon ruling
And pretty pathetic at that. Needed time to conjure up the new domestic abuse PR campaign. Makes sense now

What if the victim apologizes for being knocked out?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Slap your mama is at fault for this.

They just got a lifetime ban from the NFL, too, so at least the policy is fair and consistent.

Is it when a player is accused? Arrested? Convicted?
A bright-line rule is stupid, IMO. How about Goodell not be a fricking idiot and be able to use rationale discretion. If it is a War Machine situation it shouldn't take two times to get banned for life. If a player is legitimately acting in self-defense and things get out of hand while doing so...

Goodell is the most reactionary person in a position of power ever.
He constantly comes with heavy handed bullshite stances on shite after that fact.
I loathe him.

come on bruh, it's entirely up to the discretion of Godfather Goodell. Every time he gets more power it always makes the NFL better.
