Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 4316053, member: 191"] The NFL didn't hand out the punishment, an independent 3rd party did. She stated that she felt bound by precedent. If the guy before you got a monetary fine for going 100 MPH, and then you got jail time for going 90 MPH, I bet you would be happy. BTW - per the decision, the punishment is unprecedented for people convicted of this level of offense. People should rally read the whole decision before commenting on the adequacy of the outcome. Only four cases were brought before the judge. (Presumably the 4 strongest.) She also kind of calls out the NFL for manipulating its disciplinary system due to public opinion, rather than having written definitions of prohibited conduct prior to the occurrence of the conduct.
