Don't be so quick to say that. I myself don't see how they can cuz he has not been convicted of a crime nor has he admitted to one. But as it was stated on yahoo,
"The NFL could still impose a fine or suspend Taylor for one or more games, Sharpstein said, but league officials did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. The Redskins also declined comment but have publicly supported Taylor in the past."
