News: PFT: NFL: Pending further court action, Ezekiel Elliott is suspended for Week Nine

Right, are the nice guys of the league going to want to strike or lose money, etc. in the contract to protect the bad boys? Most probably think they will never have to deal with this. "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear, etc. etc."

But the nice guy suffers when his bad-boy teammate isn’t on the field helping him win.

In other words, when it happens to another team, you don't really care - much like how there are fans of 31 NFL teams right now who don't care about Elliott.

So, when someone post a statement do I get to put "in other words" something completely different so I make my point. what a tool!

I'm not going to get into an NFL ratings argument.

Suffice to say, ratings are down across the board and even the mighty NFL isn't exempt.

And if enough of fans don't watch , if Zeke is not available, then the ratings will really drop. Would love to see some stats on how much of the total viewership on any given sunday is cowboys related. i know we constantly are in the top watched games during prime time events....

What confuses me in this whole matter is the recent " no sufficient evidence" on another teams player for DV, and the leagues own female investigator in essence saying no basis, and still Goodell proceeds with this ....

At some point that question hopefully gets asked directly to him.... and the lead investigator gets to speak.. Not some judge hiding behind , to me, I'm a female and no way will I rule against another during domestic violence week , especially when the law firm my husband is a partner at helped negotiate the Collective bargaining agreement that I hung my whole decision on....
