Goddell's arrogance in believing he'd be able to consistently walk the lines between fairness, consistency, and pleasing the media and public now has him splashing around in the hot water he boiled.
I agree

What he should have done is maintained a policy where the NFL only punished players if and after they pled or were found guilty of criminal offenses.
Say the Ray Rice elevator incident happens this weekend and all the tape releases/criminal proceedings play out the same way. That means you've got three months of him playing even though you basically know exactly what happened in the elevator based on the 1st tape. That wouldn't be good.

I think the outrage over the incident was greatly magnified because of a sense that a non violent drug offense (which offers no performance advantage and therefore is not a separate competitive issue) was being punished very heavily while Rice treated his SO like Tina Turner on her first honeymoon.
There was going to be outrage over a football beating his gf/wife - but what made it worse was the arbitrary and comparatively lower punishment doled out in that case versus another - or put another way the NFL got in trouble mostly because they didn't have a carefully thought out or systematic methodology.
