Allegations and accusations If there were evidence you’d have more of an argument. It just is what it is. A FEDERAL JUDGE who knows more then I’d guess everybody on this forum and 1% of all people in society. I’m gonna take her opinion over everyone on this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets the baseline that punishments aren’t haphazard. Now I’m the next one like this we know the starting point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perception of impartial ruling, gives the league an idea of public response and a mechanism to change when needed (and it keeps Goodell "clean" from criticisms). It was a flawed system from the start - not because Robinson wasn't a good choice in theory, but because there are so many back doors for the league to exploit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video was leaked and league (operating with information they already had when they decided two games) upped the suspension to indefinite. The league is focused on image in these situations. Optics of the situation can provoke action. Indeed. Just have to hope these next 2 days are the worst of Goodell’s life in terms of PR nightmare Edited August 1, 2022 by JiffyJag 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next one I believe will be Alvin Kamara and his assault case. I'd suspect - given the criminal charges and evidence available - Kamara will be looking at greater than six games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the flawed system. I’ve argued it should be a board of 9 where 3 hear the case. 3 people picked by the PA, 3 by the league, 3 agreed upon. Having a single voice make most of the call is still a mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was initially suspended 2 games, based on the NFL conduct policy, before the video came out, where he was cut and suspended indefinitely. Per the negotiated agreement that was overturned https://www.cnn.com/2014/11/28/us/ray-rice-reinstated/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that if Goodell does increase the suspension that next collective bargaining the NFLPA is going to mandate that the individual party has final say. if you overturn the first one the NFLPA is going to have that. So if you overrule this your basically going to forfeit that right in the next CBA. There is no way the NFLPA is going to keep the same structure if this is overturned.
