Hell, if I'm even late two-three times in one month or late once a month every month or something I'll get demoted, my money taken for a few paychecks and get my off time taken from me.
I know why they're held to different standards. It's just annoying that they are. I don't expect everyone to be a model citizen and be the cleanest guy on the block like JJ Watt or Von Miller or something, I just want the NFL to take ownership or something. Imagine how much of an impact it might have on society if something as big as the NFL literally fired people like other companies do to their employees when they screw up, get DUIs, beat their spouse, late to work often, etc.
Von Miller was suspended for drugs in like 2013, so if it were military standards even on him he'd most likely be gone.
Breaking the law is breaking the law. If an NFL player commits a crime punishable by prison and there's enough evidence to convict him, he'll go to prison. Just like if you or I did.
If he stays out of prison it's because he has more money/better lawyers/resources than you or I, like any rich person. Welcome to America.
Aside from that, being annoyed that an NFL player is held to a different standard or code at his work than a normal person is at his work, is silly. You can call the fairness police or shake your fist at the sky but these are entertainers worth millions in an industry worth billions.
I could be the best in the entire world at my job, but still nobody would pay to watch me do it.
have you watched a Twitch stream before?
if anything, Twitch has taught me that if your tits are big enough, people will watch you do anything
I think for the NFL to even entertain this idea, they would need hard evidence, preferably video evidence too. Domestic violence in general has long been one of the most underpenalized crimes in this country though (which sickens me), so yeah.
Damn.
Spot on.
It's just reality. The better you are at your job, the more lenient your boss is going to be. If you are easily replaceable well there's the door. Notice how Ray Rice just kind of faded away because he was also starting to suck at football.
So true. Doesn't matter how bad they are at the game either. Female and attractive? GET DEM VIEWS/SUBS/BITS/MONEY.
