Draggingtree Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Power Line : POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2014 BY PAUL MIRENGOFF IN CULTURE, SPORTS WHY THE NFL SHOULD LIGHTEN UPIn writing about the NFL’s handling of the Ray Rice matter, my position has been that the commissioner should not be meting out discipline to players for personal misconduct. Non-football related misbehavior should be an issue for the player’s employer (his team) and, in appropriate cases, law enforcement. It also seems to me that if the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell hadn’t taken to issuing discipline for personal conduct, he would have avoided much of the criticism he now faces for initially not coming down hard enough on Rice. Goodell’s assumption of the power to judge carried with it the responsibility to judge wisely. Judging wisely isn’t as easy as it sounds, and judging in a way that will seem wise across the range of modern interest groups is impossible.
