Congress probes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Ray Rice case

[Calista241]

1. Isn't the government supposed to be in charge of punishing criminals??

Ray Rice is an idiotic, lying, violent asshole that beats his wife. I'm glad he doesn't have a job, and I hope he becomes persona non grata for the NFL.

That being said, I do not believe it should be up to employers to punish their employees for crimes. That is a job for prosecutors, the police, and the justice system. If the government had thrown Ray Rice in jail, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Furthermore, wtf is congress going to say? Are they going to accuse Goodell of not punishing Ray Rice enough? The NFL is under no legal obligation to punish Ray Rice in any form or fashion. Ray Rice has lost his job, and has zero prospects for future employment in his chosen field. What more could they have done?
