Has the NFL Handled ANYTHING Right????

Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, the other 2 guys, the Rhianna flap, hiring 4 women (and no men) for their domestic abuse committee...

I don't think they have handled ANYTHING right at all!

One guy gets a slap on the wrist, then an indefinite ban...the other is out one week, then back. I think at least one of the other two has been convicted over the summer of domestic abuse...and he's playing pending appeal - like nothing happened.

The league doesn't seem to have ONE consistent way to handle these things...they appear to be reacting and lurching from crisis to crisis.

IMO, Goodell has to go. He made 44.5 MILLION dollars in 2012 for this???

I don't think the NFL is equipped to be judge and jury. Don't think they should be either.

This has been going on for a long time. Hard to figure out what to do now.

Might need to think for a bit about what to do.

""Lurching from crises to crises"" is a perfect description of the NFL's behavior.

Judge & jury...and dispenser of punishment - that is one of Goodell's most important roles in his job description - that and negotiating TV contracts and merchandising agreements.

They do appear to be in reaction mode, depending on the public outcry.

No, they haven't. Let's just say they don't have the "equipment."
