Doubly punishing players would definitely raise howls from their union, the NFL Players Association ... and the 32 team owners arent particularly interested in having their very valuable assets taken away from them.

What is it 1/3 of the NFL are felons ?
It’s in their blood.

“Putting your woman in her place” is part of the urban culture. The NFL is dominated by the urban culture, and that partially explains dropping ratings.

Yes, beating females when you are po’ed or frustrated is a long tradition in athletics. Many muscles, few brains.

To paraphrase Fox & Friends, don't get caught beating women on camera and you're safe to play in the NFL.There's the key. If his fiance was still in a coma and nobody caught the beat down on video, Ray Rice would be suiting up on Sunday.

The NFL players are product, that’s all they are.
That thuggery is the demand of the mob (let’s call the “fans” what they are) isn’t the players’ fault.

This is why I don’t watch football any more. It’s our version of the Colosseum and the NFL provides the gladiators. How long until a player dies on TV for our amusement?

Apparently sexual assault isn’t limited to just the players.

I disagree. I do agree that the NFL has swept previous incidents under the rug. But I believe this video is going to mark a change in the way future incidents are handled.
Guys got away with it in the past, but I think you're going to see a lot tougher enforcement in the future.

Not too many young women of her demographic have a shot at $25 million.
You buy the ticket, you take the ride.

Sounds eerily similar to riding public transportation.

Once again it proves the old adage “You can take a person out of the gutter, but you can’t take the gutter out of a person” Unfortunately way too many females find this behavior attractive and consider this to be a free meal ticket.

“The NFL is dominated by the urban culture, and that partially explains dropping ratings.”
On the field the modern rules and technology doesn’t allow the cool players to police the jerkwads. Thus fruity celebration gyrations and chest slapping displays after even mundane plays. But I think that garbage is popular amongst the average NFL fan, thus the fan outrage when they put in rules against excessive celebrations.
I thought the NFL is the most popular pro sport by far, and looking at the current culture this isn’t surprising. Are ratings dropping?
