In an alternate universe, Goodell amended the hearing process (and the personal conduct policy) with the agreement of the NFLPA and had actual, published guidelines.Originally Posted by Joemailman
Then this would be over much more quickly.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Please. Any player caught on the wrong side of this would still fight it through the courts, even if the NFLPA agreed with the process. No player wants to lose a check for getting caught or behaving poorly, so they'd fight it regardless.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
Of course. And a player like Brady has the cash to finance the whole thing himself.
But if the NFLPA is holding up its end of the CBA, which they are not willing to do for the Personal Conduct Policy now as Goodell is enforcing it, half of your lawsuits go away.
As does money for lawyers and court proceedings. And not every player has Brady's resources.
Not to mention a process and hearing that is perceived to be fair among participants is going to generate fewer long term complaints. In fact, if it becomes more common to accept the decision, then more and more players will cease to litigate. Even now, most players don't end up in Federal Court.
Same goes for player safety. But Goodell is too dumb to learn a lesson others have tried to impart.
