NFL Finally Wakes Up, Instates Rules On Domestic Violence

So this is something that should have happened a long time ago. There should never have been any debate that Ray Rice needs to be suspended for more than two games for knocking out his girlfriend. I think the reason this happened today is because the NFL woke up and realized that it was absolutely ABSURD that Josh Gordon was getting suspended for a season for smoking the weed. Keep in mind Josh Gordon was an absolute IDIOT. If you're under appeal for a DUI  don't be smoking weed bro. I'm pretttttty sure  you can give it up for a month. The rules are the rules, it's pretty black and white. The fact of the matter though is that it's still INSANE that you get suspended for more games for doing the pot than HITTING A WOMAN. 

Another pretty shocking part of this whole story is how Roger Goodell admitted he was wrong. ya you read that right. 

source-  In the open of his letter, Goodell admitted he fell short in prior situations of domestic violence.

"At times, however, and despite our best efforts, we fall short of our goals," Goodell wrote. "We clearly did so in response to a recent incident of domestic violence. We allowed our standards to fall below where they should be and lost an important opportunity to emphasize our strong stance on a critical issue and the effective programs we have in place. My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values. I didn't get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will."

Oh you made a mistake, Rog? Ya wouldn't say. Also can I add that this is CLASSIC Ravens getting a total freebie. Ray Lewis kills someone? Everyone turns their head. Ray Rice beats his wife unconscious? We'll put in a new rule after we hand out his suspension. Take a lap, NFL. You're making a mockery out of yourself. 

Did I mention that Brian Tyms of the Patriots got a more severe punishment for taking adderall that he's had a prescription for since he was 9? So in the eyes of Roger Goodell taking a prescription drug is worse than physically harming another human, not to mention a woman. Huh ya good job Rog. You're killin it. 

So there ya go Ray Rice, a nice little freebie for ya! But from here on out, no more hitting girls!
