Ray Rice wins appeal against NFL’s ‘arbitrary’ suspension, eligible to return to action — if he can find a team | National Post
Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary. I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice.
“The provisions of the first discipline — those regarding making continued use of counselling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies — still stand.”
The NFL said it accepted the decision.
Basically said Goodell can't act like a petty tyrant making whatever rules he pleases without due process.
Basically Goodell was well aware of all the facts and is one lying SOB is what some may say.
An arbitrator ruled Friday that his suspension for punching his fiancee, now his wife, should be vacated immediately. The NFL said Rice, a free agent, is “eligible to play upon signing a new contract.”
Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones said Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision in September to change Rice’s original suspension from two games to indefinite was “arbitrary” and an “abuse of discretion.”
Jones was deciding whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice’s two-game suspension after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching Janay became public.
Goodell is an idiot. I think any idiot could run that league. They could hire Maggie from TSN...Bill Burr was pretty much on the money, Goodell could punt a baby across his office wearing wingtips, and next to nobody would give enough of a crap to stop watching football.
