However, if I'm the head of the NFLPA, you have to be concerned with the NFL handing down a punishment, changing the rule, then retroactively enforcing a punishment that is more severe than the one already rendered AND the new rule.



Absolutely. I imagine they aren't making much noise about it right now since the pitchfork society would crucify them for supporting Rice.

Rice is a POS but the NFLPA has to appeal on his behalf.

And to whom would the NFLPA appeal to? The commish, according to the CBA signed off on by the NFLPA. The suspension is basically irrelevant if/when no other team in the league picks him up, and that would be monumental PR gaffe.Most of the talking heads are saying that the league's (Goddell taking the position that since it has come out that Rice lied ( he claimed self defense in his meeting ) the league now has new information to act on. Rice's atty had a copy of the video, why didn't the league demand it as part of its investigation???
