Jon Stewart: 'Oh What The NFL Wouldn't Do Right Now' For A Michael Sam 'Distraction'

Last night on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart once again took on the NFL for its amateur handling of domestic and child abuse scandals.

The comedian-slash-pundit started by detailing the NFL's handling of Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy's domestic abuse case. Hardy was convicted, so the Hardy "is done," Stewart said, "until he appeals his misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence."

"It's the kind of firm decision making we've come to expect from people who don't know what the f*ck they're doing."

Stewart also mocked the NFL, comparing their attempt to deal with player domestic violence by creating an in-house unit, which he compared to TV's "Law and Order."
