Around the League: Week 2

[JoeRedskin]

Vikings: We are going too wait for the legal process to resolve itself.

Sponsors: Okay, so will we. If he's cleared, you can have our money. Until were convinced he's cleared, you can't have our money.

Vikings: Oh, well, when we said we were going to wait, we meant what you said. Please continue to give us money.

Man this is crazy. I think Allred could handle it in a better manner though, by announcing it beforehand it looks like she's trying to drum up publicity. If it really was all about the victim she should've just come out and announced it.

I think the NFL has always had a problem similar to this, it is just under a microscope because of Ray Rice and how technology has made it possible to see these incidents. I of course can't forget Social Media.

I have not heard anyone mention it, but maybe someone has, but I wonder the % of these violent incidents involves alcohol? I bet most if not all do. Alcohol the legal drug that kills more people than all drugs combined. Maybe these player need to not drink to excess?

Yeah and Budweiser sticking their nose into things is a joke.

I wonder what their "stance" will be when another player gets drunk on their product and kills someone. Like the Cowboy player who is coming back this season after a 10 game suspension.

Good point.
I do however think the big sponsors like Bud 'sticking their nose into it' is serving to make the NFL take notice. Forcing the hand of the NFL to make changes.
Before the Rice/AP shit hit the fan, I was surprised and little frustrated the NFL and the NFLPA have taken so long to implement PED testing. It has taken 4 years and they still have not yet fully agreed. They claim to be close and testing is supposed to start this season.
I have a feeling if they start a really thorough testing program, one the NFLPA would probably never agree to, many players would fail.
Is it a stretch...PED use...roid rage......domestic violence?

Okay someone get me up to speed on this. Is she representing somebody who is coming forward with a claim, was she abused herself, or is she addressing the league policy in general? I guess I could go to the conference myself but apparently its minutes away right.

Why dont you go on over there and represent. If there is a Q&A just have you question ready, the 3rd one.

Lol, too late plus it wasn't too long ago when Atlanta was competing with LA for worst traffic in America so no thanks to running across town.

Apparently lawyer is pretty much an ambulance chaser so that doesn't help the cause.

While she has a law degree, I do not think she is a trial lawyer. She is more of a spokesperson for victims. She loves to be in front of the camera.

Pretty much. Gotta admire the integrity.
