NFL clears Ray McDonald in domestic violence case

[muck4doo]

Ray McDonald and Greg Hardy were both accused of domestic violence last year. Both got the same results from the legal system, ultimately having their charges dropped. But the NFL’s brand of justice has been radically different.

Hardy was banished with pay by the Panthers for 15 games last season and has now been suspended an additional 10 games without pay this season. But McDonald was allowed to play for the 49ers amid the domestic violence accusation last year and will not be suspended at all this year.

wonder why this isn't brought up or talked about more in the media. wonder if Hardy's appeal will cite this as an example

I just don't think a lot of owners like Jerry.. Probably jealous of the success the Cowboys have in terms of popularity... Ego

I came to disagree with the overall premise of us getting screwed, but having a hard time doing so 'absolutely'c

McDonald's case was a little different, and he is not yet off the hook from the sexual assault allegations.

It was stated that the visible injuries on the alleged victim in McDonald's case were consistent with restraint.

I'm guessing The injuries in the hardy case were harder to explain or have any plausible deniability for them.

That said, there weren't any described 'strikes' from Hardy either and a lot were from Hardy allegedly shoving Holder and choking her. Though, I don't know how you can definitively say she was shoved (and didn't fall because she was inebriated/possibly on drugs) but still definitively come to that conclusion with the McDonald case.

I'd like to think there's more to it than that.

Cops are pretty lenient to 49ers in the Bay area. Remember Jerry Rice was just getting a massage at that parlor that was getting busted for prostitution. Goddell has always been inconsistent with his punishments.

He's made a TON of money for them over the years. They should love him.

Goddell is corrupt. He has his pets.
