This is a big problem in this country, and more especially this fucking league. Where did due process go? Accusations with no proof. Yet, he is now officially "egregious" and "predatory". How is this not defamatory?

I wouldn't say there is no proof. Proof of egregious and predatory actions does not necessarily mean proof of criminal conduct.

And frankly the independent arbitrator found there to be sufficient proof. She just had no basis to give a longer suspension than 6 games. Which is not her fault. The real problem is the appeal process is rigged bullshit. But whatever, it's not Zeke this time with the fake proceedings so it's whatever.

If she found he did anything wrong, why is there no criminal conviction?

Because criminal proceedings have a much higher bar (beyond a reasonable doubt) than civil or arbitration (preponderance).

Because a crime isn't actually a requirement for an NFL suspension. Also because the burden of proof is more likely than not in these proceedings. A criminal proceeding requires beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ultimately the allegations that were found more likely than not were:

Sexual Assault

Conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person

Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL.

I dunno what to think about this.

Thank you for the explanation.

I think that man just might be insane.

Yeah, that's going to suck because I don't have Prime. I'll borrow someone's password or something, but it would still be better with OTA TV. I bet more people than they realize will agree.

What is OTA TV?

What is OTA TV?

Over the air... Antenna. Totally free.

Oh. The NFL doesn’t give a crap about making things free.

My wife has Prime so I can just log in with her account but I'll probably just find a bootleg stream. That'll be my little way of sticking it to the man.

Feh. Only point of interest is if NFL pawns this off to a new player like TNT or YouTube. How far is NFL willing to spread itself for the dollar
