Jauronimo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Pretty much. "Society's standards" equals mob rule outside the judicial system, obviously. The true fallacy of that reasoning being: judging by the relative outrage, by "society's standards," knocking a woman out cold is much, MUCH worse when it's on camera. It was comical listening to Goodell address that question. Basically, "No, we didn't need to see it on video to hand out an indefinite suspension. The video doesn't change how terrible the incident was. But after seeing the video we immediately handed out an indefinite suspension." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after seeing the video we immediately handed out an indefinite suspension." In a way it makes sense. He's suspended for conduct detrimental to the league. After the video came out his conduct became much more detrimental to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLynchTrain Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Usually, when someone uses the caveat "to my knowledge," they're freaking lying. See ya Roger. It's now up on PFT so I imagine this will be a huge new story tonight. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/10/report-law-enforcement-sent-ray-rice-video-to-nfl-executive-months-ago/ Does this deserve its own thread?

HankBulloughMellencamp Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) If I were Goodell I'd deny it up to the point where they produce a video of me watching the video. lol, I give Goodell 48 hours max before he is ultimately forced to resign. His face was so red in that CBS interview, I thought they were talking to Coughlin on the sideline in December. So, guys, you might want to pick up Josh Gordon in your fantasy leagues!

Numark3 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Goodell will be gone for the same reason rice is. He is hurting their image, negative attention, and can indirectly cost them. Unfortunately for him, his actions are perfect of a scapegoat Edited September 10, 2014 by Crayola64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The kicker is I won't mind seeing Goodell go. It's just a shame that it will likely be for doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1959 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Shouldn't you be excoriating the prosecutors in this case instead of the NFL? Plus, a moralistic cop/prosecutor is a dangerous thing. A man's got to know his limitations. Based on what you've said in this thread I'm pretty sure we'd disagree on your assessment of your moral duty. I'd guess it would be more aptly defined as imposing your self-righteous will.

If he goes, it will be for trying too hard to appease the public rather than just staying the f@#$ out of it and passing the buck to law enforcement as the league has usually done. "This is a legal matter. We will leave it up to the courts. League policy says 2 game ban. We will examine the policy more closely in the offseason."

Nitro Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I am puzzled why seeing the tape of him hitting her makes it worse than seeing her prone on the floor. We know he hit her. He admitted to it. The 2 game suspension was too light. 8 game minimum. This is media driven. I still remember them letting Leonard Little and Donte Stallworth play and they killed people while driving drunk. The thing that irked me the most is Rice was given a pass by the prosecutor. The Ravens should have suspended Rice longer themselves. No laws were broken by the NFL. I wish all those involved took domestic violence more seriously before this blew up.
