If the prosecution decided not to follow through and did not find enough/any evidence to back up the accusations, then the league continues to overstep its reach...players need a real head of the NFLPA, not just some lackey for the owners...
Fans have to remember that the players aren't just "employees" like other jobs. They are part of the product. They are "partners" with the owners. "Regular job" rules don't apply. All of these issues are collectively bargained, which is not the case in non-union jobs across the country.There are people terminated every day for violating company polices all around the US and the majority of them didn't do anything criminal. Every company has the right to handle it's investigations and decide if any part of their actions was a violation or not of Company polices. Criminal charges are not important in those cases. I have seen people terminated because they posted naked pics on the internet, or said something bad about the company on their facebook pages, etc..
I personally think this is a witch hunt and now with the Brown thing once again blowing up in their faces, they will make a stand and Zeke will be suspended. Just to take try and save face and show how "strong" they are against this stuff.
But my personal feelings aside, they have the right to handle the investigation with or without criminal activity.
They have already exceeded the limits of what they did with Josh Brown.Well, if it's anything like the way they "investigated" the Josh Brown case Zeke will be fine.
Not that he should have anything to worry about in the first place.
NFL hates us
The evil media hates us
Even cowboy fans hate us
Didn't want this directed at anyone personally but just reminds me of:
This is a very good point. If the NFL wanted to they can investigate stuff that players did in high school. They could investigate someone for the sake of investigating them. At what point does it become harassment. Why are they investigating something that was expunged? I call harassment. They're doing it cuz they can.Does anyone else have a huge issue with the fact that the NFL can have investigations over something that is already legally resolved? Is that even legal for them to do?

I am the last to buy "evil media".
But corrupt commissioner and his little buddy ?
I don't trust Goodell and the NFL office when they have Mara in their ear.
As said above, certainly no coincidence that this surfaces right as the Giants and NFL are getting killed in the press for botching the Brown case. LOL.

Congress will have to look into Goodell and Mara in conjunction with Blandino; fixing the rosters (Goodell/Mara) and calls (Blandino) due to influence of the sports book in Nevada.
The rumors have been spreading quietly over the last two years. Not a wonder with questionable rules and calls being made, a new head of reply that has no officiating background and the unorthodox style of these investigations going on and the length, especially the timing of suspensions.
Quite a report has been compiled, it will probably be released after the elections.
If you guy's don't hear back from me, well it means my cover has been blown.
Nice chatting with you all.
