Trash posting is when instead of attacking the merits of what someone said you just dismiss it.Incredible trash double down posting.
There is no blanket policy of you get arrested or accused of a crime you get released and after it gets sorted out you get resigned. If you're of a certain status and that happens the team will let due process act it's way out and if you aren't they'll simply cut you and move on. How these teams behave is deeply connected to how important the player is to the team not actual concern about having a potential criminal on the roster.
What I'm saying is the NFL needs a blanket policy because every player's status isn't gonna protect them only certain player's status does that.
Adrian Peterson arrested for child abuse. Pictures of a 4 year old with with slashes on his legs and shyt from the beatings. Wasn't released. I mean this wasn't allegations he did the shyt. He was Adrian Peterson though they wasn't gonna release a player of that status unless they had to.

You’re comparing the sensibilities of 20 years ago to today...I know you’ve been awake the last decade and seen how sensitive people are to everything.
you’ve seen a league not blink at woman beaters to multiple dudes being suspended or losing their spots on teams over allegations of domestic abuse. I’m not sure why you’re trying to take a blanket approach, even harkening back to two decades ago, to the way teams respond to player charges. THIS particular charge is not talent resistant

philly.
dudes really in here like “I gotta hear both sides of the story”.
they need to investigate y’all next.
they need to investigate y’all next.
So 20 years ago if you possible murdered someone that's acceptable to stand by? 7 years ago if you beat the shyt out of a 4 year old to the point you put slashes on them that's acceptable to stand by? A year ago if you allegedly slap your dikk on women and force them to blow you that's acceptable to stand by? This year though if you allegedly sexually assaulted a child they drawing a line?You’re comparing the sensibilities of 20 years ago to today...I know you’ve been awake the last decade and seen how sensitive people are to everything.

Nah all that shyt is dead ass wrong but if some people get to reach due process and others don't that's bullshyt. I don't see an issue with the NFL developing a blanket policy for all accused of crimes by suspending then indefinitely and letting the legal process work itself out. That way nobody is taking any sides on anything. That way nobody is getting a stamp of approval because they're name is X vs Y getting cut.

No one said it was acceptable, but people didn’t demand or expect action until a guilty verdict was passed.
re: Peterson, he used a switch on his kid, those leave marks, and he was suspended the year, but let’s cast aside all nuance in that - many families feel whooping kids is fine and country ass families do/did it with switches - I got beat with them also - not okaying this, but it is reality for many families
deshaun isnt facing criminal charges, if he had 20 criminal charges against him, the team might react differently
this has literally happened to multiple players, someone already said he was only on a one year contract, no need to keep him when he may not be available, nfl moves like this all the time in general, and especially with these type of charges

I don’t know if he did it or not
But if I’m the falcons, I terminate his contract and release him too. You can believe both.
All I wanna know then is what's the line for people being arrested and accused of a crime and being released?
I've seen it said that this crime is "special" as examples we've seen accused child abusers, rapist, murderers be arrested for allegedly committing a crime and not be released. Is child molesting the only crime that's special to the point where it doesn't even have to go through due process? Those other crimes aren't "special" then right? Or maybe back then it was acceptable? I don't buy that.
We all know that isn't true. My argument isn't that the crime is "special" it's that the player isn't "special" because we all know this guy could have been arrested for damn near whatever and the end result would have been less than a week he's cut.
If we look at Deshaun Watson and go wait a minute maybe he didn't do it then why don't we look at Barkevious Mingo and any other player and give them that same level of treatment? Even in this thread people shouting kill him and fukk an investigation. As if to say just because he's accused of a crime they especially don't like he's not even worthy of having it investigated.
I get that's a heinous crime but sexually assault on any human being is a heinous crime. Whether or not people get that courtesy shouldn't be based on how acceptable to you or me was the crime they committed ranked against other crimes. I know right this is such a horrible take that the possibility exist that maybe someone didn't do what they were accused of and it shouldn't be a flexible treatment based on status of the player and opinion on the level of offensiveness of the crime.

First I think the lines have been blurred between due process legally and as it relates to his employer. Dude has every right to have his day in court. In regards to his employer, it's shortsighted to think that someone would be accused of child molestation as being alleged and the employer wouldn't terminate them fairly quickly. You keep using Deshaun Watson but it's simply not the same situation. For right and wrong between two adults there is going to be a semblance of he say/she say. When children are involved people are going to ask the question of how a man even put himself in a position to be accused of such a thing to the point that someone would have enough day light to make a false accusation.
Honestly I don't see why this is so hard for you to understand.
