NFL announces new player punishment guidelines for domestic violence

Wow

1st offense: 6-game ban 2nd offense: lifetime ban

The Commissioner admitted he made a mistake with Ray Rice.

Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to all 32 league owners on Thursday, which announced new disciplinary measures regarding domestic violence. For a first offense, the penalty will be a six-game suspension. A second offense will bring a lifetime ban from the league.
Player receiving a lifetime ban will be able to petition the league for reinstatement after a year, but the memo makes that seem unlikely.

Bout time. They really need make this for all forms of violence. Weather it's domestic or not should not matter.

The NFL Drug Policy is part of the CBA, the players agreed to it. On top of that, its not a first offense for Gordon. Fucker deserves to sit the whole year.
