The whole problem is this. Roger rewrote the entire player conduct policy based upon the fact that Ben was not charged, but somehow brought dishonor to the league. So he gave him a six game suspension and a two game time off for good behavior. Since then he has not applied that part of the player conduct policy in any way towards players who were actuallly charged. How is the Kapernick case any different. That was my problem with the whole thing when it happened. If the allegation can not even stand up to a charge, what would stop any person who could prove they were alone with Tom Brady say, make that allegation. Two Weeks say before the super bowl. What then?
Roger's complete failure is that he is a knee jerk reactor. He wants whatever problem is on his plate to simply go away for now. Not realizing that there will be ripple effects down the road, when seven months later three packers are charged with Sexual assualt and Darren Sharper was a serial rapist and he did nothing about that.
Same with the Bully case in Miami. Knee jerk media play. The facts weren't even out and he tried the thing in the court of public opinion. Same with bounty gate. Did he even think to listen to Suggs talk about the bounty they had on Ward's head and how that looked.
Funny there is only one glaring thing he didn't rush to judge or allow to go to the court of public opinion. hmm what could that be..............
