NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is taking the power granted to him under article 46 of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and shoving it down the players’ throats.
Goodell ruined the career of Saints DT Anthony Hargrove because the NFL failed to admit that they were wrong during BountyGate. Patriots QB Tom Brady will serve a four-game suspension this season because Goodell had to save face with the owners after spending millions on a tainted investigation.
Now Goodell is trying to suspend the players named in the Al Jazeera America documentary on steroid use for an indefinite period of time.

There are idiots who are all too happy to see a complete abortion of justice performed to keep an opposing player on the sidelines.
How many of them will whine about this if it were someone on their team unjustly disciplined? Some of the posts seen here not withstanding, likely all of them would whine, though none of them would be man enough to admit it.
If you use your company laptop to do something detrimental to your company and destroy it before the authorities get a chance to confirm the action, out the door you go instantly.
Good luck going to court, trying to sue for wrongful dismal.
No proof. Godlell should be told to go F himself. Why do the 2 Super Bowl teams(players) allow him in the building?
If I want to keep my job or stay out of jail, yes. You think it is ok to destroy evidence?
Goodell is ruining everybody’s lives and eating all our steak.
Trying to argue with people on here is not worth the effort.
Dummies like them don’t see a problem with handing over a phone with thousands of personal and confidential items to an entity that had ALREADY shown it was fully prepared to lie and fabricate evidence to obtain a justification for any punishment.
Empty headed idiots like them don’t understand why someone like Tom Brady wouldn’t just hand his phone to them. Probably the same type of people who would say to government demands that would erode liberties: “If you don’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to be worried about.”
Yes, those people. Here, on Free Republic, and everywhere.
I did notice you gave no evidence for Brady. Hard not to notice. Good dodge.
Btw, while you're at it, explain how Brady torched the Colts in the second half and the best defense in the past decade in the Superbowl?
I know, I know, he obviously cheated in a way we don't know.
Meh. Such foolishness.
Enough of your foolishness.
I lump that in with the liberalitis infection.
'Government and eroding liberties' have nothing to do with it. Are drug tests for steroids 'eroding liberties?' A company has rules and if you don't follow them or hinder an investigation, you will be punished.
So, if your company put lies in the company newsletter about you, used erroneous and flawed data to back those slanderous allegations up, then showed up at your door one day, and said: “Give us your personal computer. Right now, no questions asked, because we think you are doing something wrong and we want to do a complete forensic analysis before we determine if we will fire you or not...” you would simply unplug it from the wall and give it to them?
Would you do that? Like a lot of people who seem to side with you, I suspect your answer would be “Of course. I didn’t do anything wrong, so I have nothing to fear.”
Right? You would just hand over your PERSONAL PC?
No direct evidence because he destroyed his phone. You and I are in agreement.
You are a conservative I presume. What business would his company do, without a warrent, with his personal phone?
If it is his company phone, by all means. But his personal phone? What if they wanted to examine his personal files? His correspondence with people?
Would you just hand over your keys to your file cabinet?
Do not destroy evidence during an investigation. Internal or external. Criminal or civil.
He isn’t going to answer your questions or mine.
He posts on FR, but seems to have no concept in the least of privacy or protection against self-incrimination.
We can presume he would hand the keys to his house to his employer and let them tear the house down looking for anything, because in his mindset “If I did nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear.”
Gee, where in history have we seen that mindset go awry with people? How about EVERYWHERE there are no laws in place to protect them?
That is another debate, but what is clear is he destroyed his phone.
Watch, next your going to call me a Nazi.
And I did answer his question at #32.
Too late. You did it yourself.
Sorry, I’ve been watching the NFL for 40 years: EVERYBODY cheats.
