Of course he'll win his appeal and then Goodell can blame the horrible union "See I tried to fix it!" What an idiot.

Rice has good standing to win his appeal Of course the NFL has a precedent, Josh Gordon, of taking over 3 months to even hear an appeal, so he could be out til December anyway but that's my bitterness over the union not speaking up about that massive delay

Crazy Ted posted:This outrage dial goes to 11 Until I see owners coming out demanding Goodell step down, they're just as complicit. Society is too full of no comment ninnies even when it's as black and white as this. If it's going to be a sport of men, I want to see some of them act like men for once. I mean, Dan Snyder supporting Goodell, that's expected; he's a horrible human being with the redeeming qualities of a festering cancer, but I really hope this week we get a strong consistent voice and less of this namby pamby wagon circling.

William Bear posted:What standing is that? There's a less than zero chance that a team is going to have an injury at RB, and see the available free agents and think "gently caress it" and sign him. The Seahawks signed TO in one of his last NFL years despite his baggage (admittedly less than Rice's) to give him a chance and Vick found a job too. This of course hinges on Rice winning his appeal.

This is kind of a different beast though, all the owners are realizing what a threat this story is to their extremely profitable brand and their opinion will overrule some GM with a need at RB. The Vick story barely got traction in the mainstream media compared to this shitshow.

More importantly, no one is going to fight to sign a 29 year old Ray Rice over a random UDFA rookie or someone with some upside.

The Little Kielbasa posted:This x1000. I was on the "OFF WITH GODELL'S HEAD" train till I read your post. I see your point about the fact that if the justice system worked right the 1st time and didn't let him buy his way into probation/community service, the decision wouldn't have been left at Goodell's feet like that. Why isn't the media going after this no name piece of poo poo DA/prosecutor/judge who didn't do his job in the 1st place? At the same time though, that old footage of him dragging her out of the elevator so damning, and for Goodell to think she slipped in a scuffle and hit her head herself is retarded. It's a casino, there's cameras everywhere, how did they not think a tape would surface? Or how the gently caress did the DA not see the tape the 1st time and charge him appropriately? All in all, as much as I want to blame Goodell for not doing anything, how the gently caress did the DA not step up and do his job and prosecute him? It would have taken the decision out of Goodell's hands. It seems like he was just following suit from a legal stand point.

It isn't the state's job to pay a man millions of dollars and burnish his public image via the organs of a multi-billion dollar industry and its public relations programs. The state is only asked to prosecute a first-time offender in a case that involved a spouse uninterested in pressing charges. Goodell is in the position to pay and publicize such a man, and did when he chose to defend him and even ensure he was paid the most possible dollars under his initial punishment, because he doesn't really care that a man beat a woman unconscious.

I mean Terrell Suggs took over Ray Lewis' hype the crowd entrance role and he's been charged with way worse poo poo than Rice.
