Cougar_ml Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 of course, the NFL will pretend it never happened. If the NFL wanted it's players to act responsibly, they'd come down like the hammer of Thor on anyone that was convicted of a crime like this, instead the thug will probably end up with more street cred for punching a cop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not the NFL. That's not their job. They're just employers, and employers have no business in law enforcement or criminal justice. A guy who slugs a cop, though, needs to go to jail/prison for the high end of the sentencing guidelines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) We should tell employers whenever an employee get into legal trouble? Bar fight? Call the employer. domestic? Call the boss public intox? Demand they be fired how many members of your favorite rock band have been arrested. They are high profile, face of the band. Lead guitar turnover would be epic. .

Wrong. PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY League Policies for Players 2016. It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League. Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business. Conduct by anyone in the league that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or irresponsible puts innocent victims at risk, damages the reputation of others in the game, and undercuts public respect and support for the NFL. We must endeavor at all times to be people of high character; we must show respect for others inside and outside our workplace; and we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL. To this end, the league has increased education regarding respect and appropriate behavior, has provided resources for all employees to assist them in conforming their behavior to the standards expected of them, and has made clear that the league’s goal is to prevent violations of the Personal Conduct Policy. In order to uphold our high standards, when violations of this Personal Conduct Policy do occur, appropriate disciplinary action must follow. This Personal Conduct Policy is issued pursuant to the Commissioner’s authority under the Constitution and Bylaws, Collective Bargaining Agreement and NFL Player Contract to address and sanction conduct detrimental to the league and professional football. It applies to players under contract; all rookie players selected in the NFL college draft and all undrafted rookie players, unsigned veterans who were under contract in the prior League Year; and other prospective players once they commence negotiations with a club concerning employment. Players convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding (as defined in this Policy) are subject to discipline. But even if the conduct does not result in a criminal conviction, players found to have engaged in any of the following conduct will be subject to discipline. Prohibited conduct includes but is not limited to the following: Actual or threatened physical violence against another person, including dating violence, domestic violence, child abuse, and other forms of family violence; Assault and/or battery, including sexual assault or other sex offenses; Violent or threatening behavior toward another employee or a third party in any workplace setting; Stalking, harassment, or similar forms of intimidation; Illegal possession of a gun or other weapon (such as explosives, toxic substances, and the like), or possession of a gun or other weapon in any workplace setting; Illegal possession, use, or distribution of alcohol or drugs; Possession, use, or distribution of steroids or other performance enhancing substances; Crimes involving cruelty to animals as defined by state or federal law; Crimes of dishonesty such as blackmail, extortion, fraud, money laundering, or racketeering; Theft-related crimes such as burglary, robbery, or larceny; Disorderly conduct; Crimes against law enforcement, such as obstruction, resisting arrest, or harming a police officer or other law enforcement officer; Conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person; and Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL personnel. https://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2017/08/11/0ap3000000828506.pdf Edited January 28, 2019 by steve4102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
