Hypocrisy and the NFL

So Jim Irsay owner of the Indianapolis Colts gets a 6 game suspension and a $500,00 fine for several counts of misdemeanor drunk driving. It appears that he violated the personal conduct rules. The NFL say's that the owners have to be held to a higher standards than players. Where do I begin with this tripe the NFL calls a punishment. Here goes anyway. First of all, players should be held to a higher standard because they are the public face of the team and the league. I see Andrew Luck jersey's not Irsay jersey. Second and more important is I guess it is less egregious to slap your wife around in a hotel elevator than it is for a known drunk to drink and drive. While both are bad choices, wife beating is bad ands shows a lack of character. Rice gets a two game suspension for an act that is so morally and socially unacceptable as to border on evil. The punishment fits in one but not the other when both are equally bad. The NFL punishment system is a joke, and old Rog is a piss poor leader. I mean Welker gets caught doing PED's and gets less time. How pathetic is Roger Godell that he can't see that It is a shame that an organization like the NFL has so much influence, and then fritter it away because the misogynist path they have taken. A path that our youth need not emulate. Wife beating should be punished in the most severe way possible. 2 games isn't enough. For the NFL to have any credibility they need to make the punishment so severe so as to deter the bad behavior in the first place. They say they are out to help women, with all that breast cancer awareness show last year. While that is good, and I applaud their commitment, but that is indicative of the two faced hypocritical misogynist mindset they have at the NFL. The whole organization is just as worthless as Ray Rice, because by giving him a token two game suspension they de facto condoned his behavior. That is why they will go broke if they are waiting for me to spend any of my money paying those worthless twits at the NFL. Just Random thoughts from the West End.
