man, the NFL is handling things in such a poor manner, it's making them look worse and worse. The after the fact, reactionary response is in clear day light to the world to see.
With ray rice, initially they handed out 2 days, then reacted to the public outcry and changed the punishment protocols, then the video came out, and all of a sudden only after seeing what was already written in the police reports is it really bad and the player is suspended by both the team and the league.
peterson was just fine, and was playing, but as soon as corporate sponsors start bailing, suddenly the tune changes immediately and the guy is told to stay away from the team.
this type of reactionary action is really exposing the league. lack of leadership, lack of direction or foundational standing on the moral line they want to draw for their employees.
the old saying of "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" seems ring true for me here in the leagues handling of these issues.
