TL:DR a player on the 49ers refused to play in the 3rd quarter of the game and the team and talking heads are acting like this is the worst thing a player has ever done. Meanwhile the league has a soft hand anytime domestic/sexual assaults happen. Its just crazy that a player like Watson will be back next year, but the guy who quit on his team probably played his last nfl snap.

A team is suspending him not the league. Suspending players for domestic violence is done at the league level.

But yes, the NFL only pretends to care about off the field violence issues. And will go soft on the punishment until the footage is released to the public.

He won't get paid, and by not cutting him he won't have the opportunity to go play for a different team.

Any they won't be able to use the player they apparently thought could help them win in the third quarter

IDK any NFL player should already come out of it set for life and every less game played is less brain damage

It all makes sense when you consider that everyone involved just cares about money.

They are essentially already eliminated from the playoffs anyways so getting to develop younger guys is better.

No one on the roster is willing to play with this guy anymore so the options are cut him and pay him to play with someone else or suspend him to keep the money.

He's there on a one year deal to replace Greenlaw, who was playing in his first game back. Which is also why Campbell was whining because he didn't get the start, and wasn't asked to play until Greenlaw has some soreness and came out in the 3rd quarter.

Terrible topic. 27 missed games and a $5 million dollar fine is in no way a comparison to a 3 game suspension.

And yes, quitting on your team should guarantee you never play another down in the league again.

There's a whole fuckin' lot of stuff that the NFL cares about more than domestic violence.

You'd have a better shot listing the things they view as less important.

  • Player safety
  • Offensive native American team names/chants
  • Sexual assault

Of course they care more about that. One is a player refusing to do the job that they are being paid a lot of money to do. The other is off the field, personal shit. Domestic violence is gross but that's a matter for the courts, not someone's employer.

Why would the NFL care about off the field violence issues when the refs can't even tell when the Eagles are throwing punches right in front of them?
