Hey NFL, do I matter?

Pete Rose: lifetime ineligibility for betting on baseball
Luis Suarez: four-month ban for biting someone at the World Cup
Michael Vick: 21 months in prison for running a dogfighting ring
Chad Johnson: released by the Miami Dolphins for headbutting wife; on probation for a year
Ray Rice: TWO-GAME ban for slugging his fiancee twice in an elevator and then dragging her out


I don't care how long Rose and Vick had been running their illegal side game, or how many times Suarez bit other players. Shouldn't domestic abuse mean more than just a slap on the wrist for this guy?!

Do women not matter as much to the NFL? Rice knocked this woman out.  There's a video.

In the Barclays Premier League, you get eight-game bans for being racist.

In the NFL, you get a two-game ban for punching your fiancee out.


Thank goodness for the new rule: 

 Penalties against players will now be a six-game suspension for a first offense and a banishment of at least one year for a second offense — under league policy, the players don't have to be convicted of a crime to be punished.

Let's get this guy retroactively. What do you say, Roger Goodell?
