NFL Suspension: Ray Rice
- Thread starter Kreskin
- Start date
Not meaning to get into your business, but you might wanna consider "heavy flow" this month.
Wouldn't know anything about that.
You seem to have a lot of experience with it.
I hope you feel better.
I'm sure there is something in his contract that allows for this. If not, he will fight it and win.
This has all gone so far overboard that its become a joke. Is GM or Ford or U.S. Steel responsible for the acts of its employees. Are they required to have internal tribunals that respond to public outrage in things for which they are not responsible for inciting or supporting. Things that are the private and willful acts of employees who are hired for a specific professional job. How can the NFL guarantee their personal conduct. That's the responsibility of the justice system.

Said it before, I'll say it again. The NFL is an entertainment company. Like all entertainment companies, it responds to the demands of its audience, or it loses money. That's why Disney is showing more and more non-white and female heroes in its movies, that's why "Two and a Half Men" kicked Charlie Sheen to the curb, that's why you rarely see people smoking on television or in the movies anymore, and that's why the NFL is disciplining players who use drugs or commit crimes. The NFL is responding to its paying customers.
How could a conservative possibly object to an entertainment company responding to its customers' demands?
Because she deserved deserve it? She probably had an abortion a while ago? She voted for the Bamster? Just some guesses.
As long as the statue of OJ Simpson stands at the NFL Hall of Fame, we can tell that none of this is about anything other than image and $$$$.
Some people are just in that mode continuously...................to their detriment, no one else's -
Unless you are in the ethics or morals industry or are proven to be a public menace, perhaps what you do off the job is none of the employer's business AS LONG as you continue to do the job you are paid for!
Or perhaps it is, according to the deal worked out between the NFL and the NFLPA (the players' union).Some people are just in that mode continuously...................to their detriment, no one else's -

What JLM fails to understand is that the NFL doesn't care what Rice did, only that it reflects negatively on the NFL.
I'm sure the league is within its rights to suspend Rice just like Baseball was within its rights to suspend Pete Rose. All Pete did was gamble on baseball which isn't even illegal.

When Charlie Sheen was arrested on drug and domestic violence charges, he was cut by his very popular show "Two and a Half Men." That's just one example. It's the entertainment industry. Everything from Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson to the Beatles cutting Pete Best for Ringo. The industry responds to customer demand.
I don't understand why people can't get their heads around that.
