Here is a major problem in the world of Twitter,Facebook and even blogs. Everyone has an opinion on every subject regardless of whether we know anything about the subject or not.
Back in the times of Jesus people were stoned to death when ever a mob got enough strength from the masses to over power those they thought had committed sins. During cowboy days mobs would over power the local sheriff and hang those they thought had killed or murdered without ever giving those in jail their chance in court.
Along comes twitter and today without ever giving anyone their day in court the mass of public rules with opinion without knowing the facts. The NFL has DWI's, wife beating, child abuse cases, drug pocession all pending and their dilemma is what should they do with these players while litigation is pending and in some cases hasn't even started yet.
Could somebody please tell me why Ray Rice has never been charged with any crimes in the punching out of his soon to be wife and now bride? The NFL has pretty much thrown him out of the game losing income when he has never been charged. I don't condone what I saw on the tape but why six months later law enforcement hasn't acted. If they had then the NFL could suspend him indefinitely unto his case come up.
Just today the Brown's wide receiver pleaded guilty to DWI. It is now up to the NFL to administer punishment. I have not seen the film on the Adrian Peterson beating of his four year old. My first thought is back when I was little I used to have to go get my own switch and learned very early on that small switches tend to wrap around your leg and hurt a lot more that thicker sticks. I don't condone brutality when punishing but a good whack never hurt anybody.
We are blaming the NFL for lack of action on their part but I think those in government are to blame as why hasn't any arrest been made in the Ray Rice case. You know we have all kind of government agencies who control how regulations are administered. What can the NFL do when Ray Rice nor Adrian Peterson have been arrested for any thing. Once someone is convicted then let the NFL kick these people out of sports.
Even the Panthers have Greg Hardy who has been ruled guilty by a judge but the NFL has not done nothing. The world of twitter and 24 hour news has brought our world to the point a decision has to be made immediately based on reports not evidence. None of us know where the evidence is in every case. I propose that we let the authorities let due process go forward before we decide to hang the NFL.
