Do you not see how one of these directly affects the game of football and the product on the field, while the other one literally has nothing to do with football?


You don’t think players should be punished more than a couple of games for being charged and convicted of a domestic violence incident or sexual assault?

Most people could potentially lose their jobs if they are charged and convicted of a domestic violence incident because they’re the representative of a corporation. Why is the NFL any different? They’re a business. Nobody here has an issue with them punishing players for kneeling because they’re a business and it doesn’t have anything to do with what happens on a field. That door should swing both ways IMO.

Kneeling is done while directly representing the company though. If a player beat the shite out of his wife in his jersey after a game people would see it as different.

I believe it's 6 games minimum for domestic violence, and I have no idea what the suspension policy is for sexual assault. Do you have an example where a player was suspended for a "few" games after be charged and convicted of sexual assault?

I'm saying that acts that occur and directly affect the actual game of football should probably incur greater penalties, than off-field actions that have no bearing on the actual game of football.
