re: Michelle Beadle is done with CFB and the NFL (updated)

Who cares.

How can you be a television personality for the largest sports entertainment company in the world and decide you’re not going to watch two of the most popular sports?

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.

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.

Lol. That's the major problem that is wrong with this world. The hypocrisy is just too fcuking much and many of you can't even see it. You literally will shite on somebody for doing the same thing you just did... then wonder why others feel you think you have more of a right than they do

You’re comparing employees protesting a false narrative during our country’s National Anthem in their uniform at their job (which they have no right to do) to an ESPN employee who gets paid $5 mil a year to watch and talk about sports say she won’t watch the very sport she’s paid to talk about.

Your takes are consistently awful

P.S. : And if you turn to college football coaches for some sense of morality then idk what to tell you. You're pretty dumb.


If we keep looking up to celebrities and known sports figures as examples of how to act, then we wont get very far.

That's not really her point. Her point is top tier football in America has shown that it chooses success over punishing reprehensible behavior.

Had Meyer been an average coach, he would be have been fired and blacklisted from the game, but he's got some championships so we're just going to slap him on the wrist.

Had his assistant been average, Meyer probably would have fired him as well upon finding out the news that he abused his wife. But better to keep a good coach to continue winning and sweep that under the rug.

I'm not going to stop watching the sport and I'm not advocating other people to stop either, but that's easy for me to say as a guy. There are plenty of stories of domestic abuse (and things much worse) in major American sports. I don't blame women for being disgusted with the sport when it has shown that winning is more important than treating women with respect.

Most of this board was all in favor of JoePa getting his shite because he was complicit in letting Sandusky stick around, but Meyer gets a pass? Sure, you could argue that child rape is much more heinous than spousal abuse, but that's just marginalizing it. Whether one is worse or not is irrelevant. There are no circumstances where spousal abuse is alright and we shouldn't be giving people a slap on the wrist when they are complicit in allowing it to continue.
