Around the NFL: Week 3

[Dirtbag59]

Thousands line up to exchange Ray Rice jerseys - ESPN

The part I find mildly humerous is that a lot of the fans traded in their Rice jerseys for Suggs jerseys. Thats like trading in a Rae Carruth jersey for an OJ Simpson one.

No doubt, if the NFL is serious about taking out the trash, Suggs should be in the first wave.

Like Matty said, when did the NFL become the "whipping boy" for all of society's problems. BTW, Hope Solo is allowed to play for the women's national team and she is facing domestic violence charges, but people don't really care. Welcome to the double standard of America. The sad part is that in about 6-8 weeks no one will give a damn because we will be on the cusp of the Aaron Hernandez trial.

It's how the righteous work. They pick and choose who they mob against. Criticize their tactics, point out their hypocrisy, or highlight any incorrect facts or ignorance and they add you to their list.

These people just want to think they're a part of something 'good' without actually, you know, being a part of something. So they click like, they retweet, they get all riled up. But they don't actually do anything.

Sometimes good comes from it. Maybe this time it will. But their track record is pretty poor.

The media eats up and uses it to direct ratings and clicks their way. So it spirals out of control.

We'll see. The NFL cover up story exposed by ESPN is quite damning... I think there's probably a few people that should lose their jobs based on that report. So on one hand I kind of applaud the righteous I so loathe, on the other I can't help but laugh that they've ignored so many domestic violence issues in the past and even in this case it took an actual video to get outraged (the level of outrage was nothing compared to this when the story broke.) In some twisted irony most of the righteous are guilty of the exact same thing they accuse Goodell and the Ravens of - Not giving enough of a shit and needing a video of the actual punch to understand how awful domestic violence is.

Goodell and the Ravens have already admitted their mistake in that regard. The Righteous never will...

Out of curiosity, what have you done to help abused women?

nothing.

but i'm not one of the ones acting out on this other than saying rice should be out of the league indefinitely. i also am not one of the one that waited until an actual video came out to decide that domestic violence is an awful thing. i also am aware of the long history of domestic violence with nfl players and in no way surprised by the rice incident other than I thought rice was a better person than that.

you?

do the righteous think what they're doing is helping abused women?

janay is still with rice, and now his football future is down the drain, even if his wins his appeal he may have a hard time finding a job. has she been helped by all of this?

There's blame to go around. The NFL can't help that Ray Rice hit his wife or that AP beats children now that it's already happened, but they can keep those particular guys from playing again and can use long suspensions(not 2 effing games) or indefinite bans to deter other players from trying the same shananigans. And then, of course, there's also this thing of the NFL and the Ravens trying to cover the Rice incident up... So yeah, blame to go around...

What doomed President Nixon was not the initial crimes he had others commit for him, it was when he ordered the FBI and CIA to stop investigating. The Coverup, the obstruction of justice is what forced his resignation.
When the most powerful man in the most powerful sport does not personally insist to see elevator footage that he knows exists, he closes his eyes, that is the issue.
When blaming the NFL FO in what they did wrong, it is not about focusing on the crime Rice committed or domestic violence, it is about the joke of investigation that covered their eyes to protect the brand. Thus unintentionally condoning the crime and further acts of domestic.

Sad about Bironas. Was a solid kicker and 36 is way too young to go.

People don't realize how top heavy most SUVs are. One bad turn and those things roll a long ways.
