Wait...so police detectives didn't find enough evidence to charge him but the NFL's investigation team has enough to punish him!?!? I get it,it's their rules. Maybe they figured that they had enough substantial evidence to suspend him. Maybe he was wildin but so was Josh Brown. And I cant see how some are laughing at cowboy fans. This might happen to other players on other teams as well. Cats dont learn. Smells like some vindictive ex girl type shyt though. Oh well.

how can he get suspended if he wasnt in the league yet

The league issued the following statement regarding Monday's decision: "We are pleased the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled today that the Commissioner properly exercised his authority under the collective bargaining agreement to act in cases involving the integrity of the game. That authority has been recognized by many courts and has been expressly incorporated into every collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and (NFL Players Association) for the past 40 years."

From the Brady decision. Goodell can basically suspend for whatever reason he wants, it's a part of the CBA.

Just cause you're not arrested for something doesn't mean your job can't take action.

If you're a Pepsi CEO and get caught with a bunch of Coke bottles in your bbq party and it's on instagram, you can be let go for shyt like that.

Remember, playing in the NFL isn't some human rights issue, it's about companies and how their employee reflect on their product.
