Nfl - nflpa meeting on personal conduct?

[thunderraiden]

“[Y]our union conveyed to the league that due process for players is not a luxury, it’s a right,” Smith told the executive committee and player representatives.  “While the league currently has great concern for its brand, fairness and justice for our members is more important.  For us, the starting point for these discussions must be the desire to agree upon a fair personal conduct policy and domestic violence rules from a standpoint of prevention and education.  We will not accept a world where all players are viewed as perpetrators first and husbands, fathers, sons and brothers second.”

It’s an important point, because the NFL’s current seat-of-the-pants approach to accusations against players has resulted in two of them (Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy) being presumed guilty, not innocent.  Ultimately, a fair and consistent process is needed to determine when players will be allowed to play in the face of accusation, and when they won’t be.

No agreements were made or decisions reached on Tuesday.  The two sides have agreed to meet again, soon.

Doubt it affects him at all.

Im at the gym on mobile and just saw on espn that the nfl and nflpa are meeting today about the personal conduct policy. Anyone know how this affects greg hardy moving forward or anymore info for that matter?

Actually we all just got done with the conference call with the League, you should request to be added to the distro so as to not miss any future meetings/conference calls.

NFLPA said they are standing up for due process of their players and that is more important than the league saving face on media/public pressure. Could effect hardy but nothing solid came from the talks today. They will most likely meet again in November.

Thank you, I have updated OP.

Sounds like they're warming up right after someone has sat out for six games...
