2. When There Is Evidence

When there is evidence of wrong doing in a case like in the cases of Ray Rice and the Giants Kicker, the NFL should have the right to suspend, fine, and/or fire the players. Maybe the incident in question could not be proven in a court of law. Maybe the women/person involved in the incident was too scared to cooperate with law enforcement. As a result, the only way a punishment will be handed out is if it is done by the NFL.
