The comments in this thread so far are laughable. It will be very interesting to see the rest of them pile up in here.
It seems to me that any law that is established you guys disagree with it calling it "liberal" or "against men", even when conservatives are implementing the laws. What a joke. :yes:
Sounds like you guys want a lawless society where people can beat people up, go pissing in public all over the place, or go streaking anywhere in public.
What the hell is wrong with you people? :crazy:
Liberal means plenty of, conservative means to restrict. So, if things are being restricted these are conservative laws being put in place to restrict people from doing things. Not Liberal. Get an education on what you are talking about first, before you make these ridiculous comments that you don't know anything about.
I'm glad the NFL is putting this policy into place to clean up the thug culture in the NFL. They should have done this a long time ago. Some thug gets to beat up his girlfriend or wife with no repercussions against him, while he makes bail, collects his pay check, and gets to play in the following game, as the media talks about his incident 24/7.
Meanwhile, the average citizen gets to sit his ass in jail, lose his job, and have a record with no income.
This is what you guys are supporting. :crazy:
Athletes are not above the law, and should be held to the same standards as the regular public. Domestic Violence laws are strict against average Joe, they should be strict against the NFL player as well.
The NFL is an Entertainment Business, they don't want a few thugs to reflect bad on the company giving them a bad image. Kids look up to these players, and when they see a player getting off the hook for a domestic violence charge, they assume they will too and won't take it seriously. When they get charged, booked, and jailed for it, not getting off the hook, they change their tune and hold resentment.
Men shouldn't be hitting women in the first place, that shouldn't be defended by anybody. Yes, of course false reports are filed and reported where men get charged for no reason. But if the average dude gets in trouble, so should the NFL player until the mess gets sorted out. People should be held to the same standards regardless of who they are or what title they hold.

The league shouldn't have bowed to pressure and has no place in trying to regulate people's personal lives. I've always said that Goodell information that we weren't privy to and that factored into his decision. Also, we does the league feel the need to single out domestic violence, what's the difference between hitting a man or a women, both are equally bad and should be treated as such.
Why the hell not? Even If you worked at a big corporation or a regular job and got charged with a domestic violence charge, they would look into the matter and try to regulate your life. You would even get fired for that.
The NFL is an Entertainment Business, they don't want a group of thugs reflecting bad on the business giving it a bad name.
If some dude came to work drunk or coked up everyday, you're damn right the boss or the chairman of the board would regulate your personal life telling you to clean up or outright firing you for using drugs or drinking on the job. Isn't that regulating your personal life of what you can do?
NFL players can't use drugs or steriods due to their drug policy, actions will be taken against them if they do. What if a player wants to snort some coke or get bigger? He can't because the NFL is regulating what he can do in his personal life. Same thing as the domestic violence as you claim is regulating a person's life.
When these guy's do the crime, they should be held accountable like anybody else without any special treatment or privileges. :yes:

Of course this is yet another example in the never ending campaign to further make males second class citizens to females. I think besides being sexist against males it's unconstitutional but yet it continues to go on.

Just like most liberals, they're all for free speech until it hurts their feelings.
:crackup:
More nonsense here that you have no fvcking clue what you're talking about.
If Joe the Garbage Man can lose his job with no pay, then NFL player can take the same punishment without being let off the hook.
Unconstitutional? How the hell is it Unconstitutional? You think it's ok for a football player to get off the hook for beating up a woman? Do you think it's Constitutional for men to beat women up with no actions taken against them?
You are a clown. :yes:
This ain't Liberal dude, Goodell has been known as a conservative enforcing conservative policies. Get an education first, before you start spouting off your own false biased opinions about political policies.
This isn't even political, it's about what is right. :yes:

i don't have a problem with this really. I mean if you beat a woman twice you should not play in the NFL. I don't see what the big deal is.
Neither do I, but there is always a few igornant people around who like spout off, complain, against women and liberals when that isn't even the case. This is a perfect example of the anger they hold. They do it with everything and that is a damn shame. :yes:

You're about 60 years behind the times.
No, you just don't know who is making the laws dude. Go do some research and find who is actually writing and implementing the laws. You will find an
R after their name. I already did the research, you should do the same.
