Goodell just said Snyder has been adequately punished and he’s probably not going to do anything about Watson. The NFL is a terrible organization and we should all feel bad for watching it.

From what reporters keep saying Goodell "can't" invoke the conduct detrimental part because Watson hasn't even been charged which seems consistent. The league would likely get a united front (for once) from the players if he suspended Watson without him at least going to criminal trial. Uncomfortable reality of labor rights and that players who have spoken up on the record are firmly in the "these bitches are lying" camp. Thinking about this reminded me of when Michael Bennett got charged with totally assaulting a paraplegic security worker at the super bowl. He wasn't suspended either.

So the apparent standard isn’t that you need to be charged with a crime, it’s that you need to make sure there aren’t any cameras around when you sexually or physically assault women.

Goodell is just attempting to save face and pass the buck onto the police cause they are an easy target for ridicule in current times. Saying they can't do anything without any cooperation from them is an easy out and makes it look like the police are the ones not taking the assaults seriously instead of him Of course that's all a load of bullshit but some people may buy it. He can put people on the exempt list whenever he wants to Nodoze fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Didn't zeke get suspended without any charges, for an incident in the past? It was 100% the police refusing to do anything to him back then, too. Maybe I've got the details wrong here.

I had forgotten how ridiculously drawn out this was. quote:On August 11, 2017, the NFL suspended Elliott for the first six games of the 2017 season for violating the personal conduct policy. His suspension stemmed from accusations of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend on five occasions in 2016. NFL officials conducted a year-long investigation into the allegations, and though Elliott was never criminally charged, decided to suspend him...Although the suspension was upheld on September 6 by a league-appointed arbitrator, on September 8, a federal judge granted a request for injunction by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), putting the suspension on hold indefinitely. Then he went to hang out in Mexico for a while, I think he might have been injured at the time and that's why he stopped fighting and figured it was a good time to serve the suspension? There was also the St Patrick's day thing where he dragged a woman's shirt down that went into this whole ordeal but he claims she was cool with it. I mean in the end there were no criminal charges so you're right about that part. The part with his ex is he barely bothered to deny and tried to justify on a 'she's crazy' thing if I remember right.

Grittybeard posted:I had forgotten how ridiculously drawn out this was. A big part of why it got that bad was because Jerry started an absolute shitstorm over this and fought it like crazy. This was the season after the Cowboys went 13-3 and had the #1 seed in the NFC and he thought this was the year they were gonna take the next step and possibly get to the Superbowl and Zeke was integral to that. He drat near started a civil war among the owners, made plans to remove Goodell from power and install a new commissioner, and only finally backed off after a group headed by the Maras, Rooneys, Krafts and other long time owners (if I remember right) threatened to force him to sell. If someone like Tepper traded for Watson and he promptly got exempt listed I can only imagine the fit he'd throw and Goodell probably doesn't want a repeat of the Jerruh situation, so that's probably why he's taking his time and waiting for criminal charges to be filed this time.

Strange that Ezekiel Elliott's star power and team owner going to bat for him didnt defuse his investigation. Those circumstances seem pretty similar to Watson's, with Watson having the facially more aggravated case (I dont know what Zeke is alleged to have done.)

Those circumstances seem pretty similar to Watson's, with Watson having the facially more aggravated case (I dont know what Zeke is alleged to have done.) Goodell is consistent only in that he is wildly inconsistent with how he handles everything. He is more concerned with appearances than applying any type of standard policy to how the NFL handles players who have potentially committed a crime.

Even then he could give Watson a small suspension for appearances and he could probably ride it our easily Hell there was no reason not to suspend him for the first half of the year as everyone knew what was happening. It’s been a bit baffling

The only thing I could think for Goodell not suspending Watson or putting him on the exempt list was a favor to the Texans, as his trade value would've been completely shot.

I mean his trade value has already been completely shot. If it wasn't for all the assault/rape/whatever he is being investigated for then he would have already been traded as teams would have sold their right arms to get a qb of his caliber.

Goodell putting out statements about how PROUD they are that they're too smart to be fooled by those lying bitches, can't do anything without ALL the information is loving gross as hell. Basically suggested that they believe there MUST be information out there that would prove these women to be scheming liarsYOLOsubmarine posted:Different situation but Kareem Hunt was never charged with a crime but was still placed on the list. So the apparent standard isn’t that you need to be charged with a crime, it’s that you need to make sure there aren’t any cameras around when you sexually or physically assault women. Then Tyreek never made it onto the list either? And now not Watson? Wow, what a loving system. Kareem Hunt is a loving SAINT compared to these dudes. Like this should be easy poo poo to deal with. Shut him the gently caress down now for the entire year AT LEAST is not only the moral thing to do but it would definitely seem to be the smartest thing for the NFL. He's not playing anyways and it would make them look like they even try to give a poo poo about women. But nope Play fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Oct 27, 2021 |

I figured the reason Watson was not on the exempt list or suspended was because they wanted to ignore it as long as possible. Just pretend this guy doesn't exist until the situation is resolved by settlement, prosecution, or whatever. Then the Texans season opener the announcers talked about Watson for half the drat game I guess they misread the memo.
