Where do you get your information from? The toilet store?
You were right that NOW is calling for his resignation, but not just for the Rice incident but all domestic violence cases that have happened in the NFL without punishment. Yes, this incident is the one that made them vocal about domestic violence in the NFL, but could they really ask for his resignation when such an issue wasnt taking the media by storm? Since Goodell has been the commissioner, there have been a countless number of players who have been charged with domestic violence. Wanna guess what a majority of there punishments from the NFL were? Not a damn thing. First Take this morning had the numbers and it was shocking. Certainly not something that any of us would have thought or typically hear about from the NFL. Around 50 or so cases where the NFL did not pass down any punishment to players who were charged with domestic violence against a woman. This is an issue that has been going on, even before Goodell, but one that has not been handled correctly at all. Nothing has been done to try and stop domestic violence, until they banned Rice. NOW isnt in the wrong here trying to figure out why so many domestic violence cases have just been looked over by the NFL.
But that's my point exactly. I understand their argument, and they're doing their damdest to make it clear that this isn't just about Rice - but the fact that they did it immediately after the Ray Rice video came to light, and not immediately after the Ray Rice slap on the wrist for what obviously came before certainly makes it look like they're responding in exactly the same manner as every other jackhole that Cape and Bluemoose are biching about.
Are they right that the NFL, and maybe Goodell specifically, have a problem? Yeah. Should they have probably, considering it's their whole reason for being and all that, spoken up a little sooner, rather than looking like just another reactionary idjit with a pitchfork? Signs indicate yes...
