Oh so you admit the NFL is less suited to determining wrong doing and yet accept them doing so. You say buzz words like image, conduct, ethics, morality but that's not what you are really concerned with. You are concerned with the perception of those things because if you were really are concerned with those actual things you'd see the player did nothing wrong. The legal system vetted him.
Huh?
First, it's not about what
I think because I'm not punishing anyone. It's about what the NFL thinks.
Second, just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean it is any less immoral. You're conflating concepts.
Third, if image, ethics, conduct, etc., weren't important concepts, they wouldn't be in the dictionary and have their own separate, distinction definitions. But they are concepts, which means they have application.
Fourth, obviously, the league is concerned about image, conduct, ethics, etc. And that's because the league is trying to sell its product to a broader audience, one that includes
WOMEN!!! So, of course, the league would be concerned about those issues that are of concern to a market it seeks to capture.
What the neighbors heard, lol. Exactly what does a man beating a woman sound like? I image it sounds just like a woman beating herself up to frame the man for beating her. It sounds exactly like that. There is enough evidence to suggest something happen but not what, so any conclusion is speculation. But the NFL knows better, oh wait you already said they don't know better.
What does a man sound like beating a woman? You're not serious are you?
I had a neighbor who beat his girlfriend. I could hear it through the walls. Let me tell you, it's pretty clear that the woman screaming and crying and gasping for a breath as she's getting bashed doesn't sound like a man getting beat by a woman or a woman faking a beating. When people are getting beaten, there is a distinct, unique sound to it, especially when you hear the pounding of a man's fist that strikes with such velocity that at the precise moment it connects the woman also gasps and loses her breath.
You ought to be a shamed of yourself. You're so absorbed in your justification that you make light of matters you don't understand.
Now you presume to tell me what I think? You have control and function of my mind? This is what is legally call hearsay. It's inadmissible in a court of law but this isn't a court of law so let's entertain it...
You really don't know what you're talking about. Hearsay is about rumors, unsubstantiated claims based on a particular incident. What I said to you is not hearsay. It is an opinion based on the facts I gathered from your comments. Opinion is not hearsay.
Second, you admit that this isn't a court of law, so why would hearsay be an issue? You sound like someone who picks legal terms, but you really don't understand how they're used. You're just trying to match words, yet you're overmatched.
No, you don't know my thoughts before I make them known. I believed in Hardy's right to a fair trial when he was a Panther. I believe everyone has this right, Cowboy or not. I also believe the NFL has no right to override a finding by the legal system. No foul, No penalty.
That's your belief. But that's not how the real world works.
There are many people, who after being exonerated in court, have lost their jobs.
Furthermore, there are some issues that don't rise to the level of the courts and yet people can still get punished by their employer or lose their jobs.
And what I'm telling you is that
THIS is perfectly legal.
You can tell Obama's wife on national television, "I think you're a witch" and the president can't do anything to you legally or have you thrown in jail.
But if your employer sees it, and he believes your actions have brought ill-repute on the company and cause clients not to do business with you, he can fire you.
Again, this is how the real world works. And the NFL is in the real world business, fantasy football notwithstanding.
