Ezekiel Elliott Suspended 6 Games.

Drug failures?
Gambling on games?
Calling a fan a homo?

Guy smokes pot playing for the Broncos or Seahawks and he should go to jail? Jail for a guy calling another guy a homo?

I don't think the NFL has any business investigating legal matters outside of the NFL purview.

but as an organization, they are investigating to determine the severity of the punishment
yes, the court does determine its own punishments, this doesn't mean employers shouldn't be allowed to set their own terms as well

Why would there be a punishment if the local law enforcement agency deems there to be not enough evidence to prosecute a case? Why does the NFL insert themselves when people getting paid money to investigate/prosecute crimes say there's no crime?

Would you be happy getting suspended from Costco without pay without even being charged with a crime by local law enforcement?

Because the NFL is a private entity not a court and they're not using a "beyond a reasonable doubt" legal standard.

"No crime" has no value here as it doesn't mean "innocent"

Imagine your boss at Costco saw 3 news reports of you beating up a girl, punching a DJ, and pulling down a woman's shirt?

If your boss suspended you, how silly would you look shouting "but I never was convicted of a crime!!"

Why wouldn't you be arrested for beating up a girl or punching a DJ and the police have video evidence?

I just have a problem with the NFL inserting themselves into a situation where our paid law enforcement agencies can't even find enough evidence to prosecute a person for a crime.

All of those things are crimes, and there would be arrests. I can't even comprehend how someone can say the police have evidence of an assault on something like 3 out of 4 days and they didn't even make an arrest.

The victim should be suing that police department

he's being punished for conduct

google just fired someone for writing an "offensive" manifesto
bad waiters and bartenders are not committing a crime if they are rude to customers but will be punished or fired
if you're being investigated by the law, that alone is enough justifiable cause for an employer to investigate to protect themselves against an employee at risk of costing the company business

You think so huh? You think being investigated but not prosecuted is justifiable means to get fired huh?

How would you feel if you were being investigated for domestic assault but it was a case of mistaken identify then you got fired?

 

[slapshot]

Who said the investigation was legit

TOSU athletes being investigated seem to always be innocent will still playing

Other institutions also seem to be able to buy their investigaters off well really most of the time they are paying for the bullshit investigation

Hahaha the campus police
