Suspending a guy for 6 games on just accusations and limited evidence is a slippery slope IMO.
Especially when the investigation took place almost a full year after the incidents, for incidents that potentially occurred before he had even played an NFL snap.

I think if you read into this you can see the NFL put a lot of work into this invesigation. The NFL went over this carefully and employed Mr. Peter Harvey, Esq. former attorney general of New Jersey as an advisor and they feel they have found enough evidence to conclude they have found 3 instances of physical violence. Remember the commissioner has all the power and doesn't need a criminal offense to suspend a player. Cowboys fans may not like it but Goodell has pretty consistent in punishing popular teams such as the Pats, Saints, Steelers, etc. so I certainly don't think the Cowboys are being treated any differently than any other team. The players may not like it but they can blame their union for giving up so much power to the commissioner. You can bet in their next CBA they will be looking to take away some of that power.
