I don't see how that makes it as practice. Get any one vindictive GF, or even Crazed fan, to go out to a club/ area where the other team's players will be and fake an act of violence or make a claim of it and then there's a media shitstorm.

If this ends up passing then if I were a player, I'd walk around with a go pro everywhere I went.

You have to be charged so no, you'll not be suspended because you've been accused

In theory. That is definitely how it should work. That doesn't mean anything once major media starts running stories or people that don't really give poo about the issue start tweeting about it. The NFL has shown that it will bend over backward and spread its cheeks if people bad mouth it loud enough.

Keep in mind that it will take more than a random accusation.  A player wouldn't be put on leave unless there were at least enough evidence of a crime to indict/charge the player.

 

 

The idea that someone can claim rape the week before the Super Bowl to have a QB suspended wouldn't ever happen unless she had some reasonable level of proof.

I can't even. If a woman says she was raped, she was raped, you misogynistic pig! Stop being a rape apologist, and listen and believe. Check your privilege!

Ray McDonald was never charged. Now I realize it kind of makes your point because he didn't sit, but there was a lot of media shitstorm here in the Bay Area because the Niners didn't suspend him or agree to the silly commissioners list. A lesser-willed franchise (one that maybe has a black cat mascot and a weak old owner) would have bowed down to the shield and put him on prior to charges.

We all know people love faux-outrage and en vogue social causes, so I still don't think it'd take much more than an accusation in some cases to bench a guy indefinitely.

Those "domestic violence is a hard subject to talk about" ads make me want to vomit.

Like really?! Cris fuging Carter is going to be your spokesperson for American morality?!

This is crap. Players who are not yet proven guilty should be on the field until they are (supposing they indeed are) proven guilty.

No it isn't. 90% of men would be immediately fired from their job if they were arrested and charged with beating a woman and communicating death threats. Facts be damned, justice system be damned. That's not how the world works. You are innocent until proven guilty from a legal standpoint. That has nothing to do with public opinion or employment, though.

Well "if you're not a feminist, you're a bigot..."

 

 

If you listened to the next sentence wherein she defined what she meant by the term feminism then it would be true.  I take it you are of the mind that women should be second class citizens assuming you watched the entire video that you bothered to link.

This is kinda scary IMO. Before this year I had never heard of the commissioner's exempt list. This gives the league the power to indefinitely suspend with pay any player accused of a "violent" crime, and then suspend them WITHOUT pay after the process concludes.

If you think this team was reluctant to sign players with a troubled history before, then just wait.

Teams will be VERY reluctant to give guys chances now I think. Being able to suspend a bad apple and get your money back is one thing. Them being paid to sit for potentially multiple seasons is another.

Gives the nfl more power to support the teams they have a crush on like the patriots. Oh the dolphins have a player that may or may not have committed a crime? (Say cameron wake or someone else) let's just suspended him with pay to completely fug over the dolphins. Oh and yes we did our own investigation that can't be replicated or publicized or anything like that. fuging hate Goodell

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
