Nancy Pelosi Says NFL Player Under Investigation for Domestic Abuse Should Be Benched
National Journal ^ | September 17, 2014 | Billy House

Posted on 09/17/2014 11:06:07 AM PDT by C19fan

ouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says her hometown NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers, should not allow defensive end Ray McDonald to play while he is being investigated over accusations that he hit his pregnant fiancee.

But Pelosi stopped short of saying Congress at this point should itself look into the NFL's handling of this matter and other prominent recent cases of player-inflicted violence, given its role in the league's special antitrust exemptions.

Wonder what Pelosi’s position is on child-beater Adrian Peterson?

If domestic abuse is so common, it has to occur in sports management and sports announcing. I call for a full investigation of all owners, management and announcers. Once identified, suspend them for life.

Is there anything that she doesn’t know?

And politicians who lie, betray their oath to uphold the Constitution, and plunder the nation’s wealth in order to buy votes from the ignorant should be fired by taxpayers on Election Day.

Nothing about her being expelled from government for supporting the murder of millions of babies?

Maybe she was too busy worshiping Molech in her “sacred” ceremony to think about that....

“Speaking about late-term abortion in June, Pelosi said, “As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this.”

How about Attorney Generals held in contempt?

Why should the congress not look into it? It’s listed right there in the enumerated powers along with overseeing the school lunch menu and the naming of football teams.

I say people posing as federal legislators should keep their mudder pokin’ mouths shut on local criminal cases or be charged with every possible interference type infraction.

I demand that every member of Congress and their staff, all employees of any company be fired that has been accused on domestic violence, DWI, felony assault, etc.... It is only fair, right?

Forget the football players. If every politician, from the local selectman to the President himself was “under investigation” was “benched” Washington etc would be totally empty and the country might be better off.

Let me count the ways . . . Kennedy(s), Goofy Grayson

Feel free to add to the list, which I’m sure would be quite extensive

Jim Robinson:" Why should the congress not look into it?

According to Eric The Red , we are a nation of laws.
Nancy Pelousey wants a hanging , then later have the trial.
Sorta defeats the "Innocent, until Proven Guilty" concept of jurus prudence upon which this country was founded .

Where and when were her demands that Ted Kennedy resign?

Why does she have a position on this at all?

Also, he hasn’t been proven to be guilty has he? So why should he be suspended for allegations?

Just think. Your tax dollars went to provide the massive public arenas, for these figures to exhibit their sports prowess.

And surrounding them are massive complexes of industries, media, music, merchandise and products.

Every year more in the direction of black thug culture, until. Petersen has seven children by five women.

He “earns” gazillions for player salary plus product endorsements.

I hope fans leave black sports in droves, drive down the pay, and endorsements, etc.

But a rapist like Bill Clinton should be overlooked?
