It's an interesting point you bring up and I would love to hear what our member attorneys have to say about this topic.Sorry but Goodell is making the right call here. As others have said think about what happened if you punch out a coworker...the guy shouldn't even be in the NFL.
If criminal law applied to these guys in the same
way it applies to the rest of us, the entire national hockey league would be in jail, so would every Nfl player involved in a training camp fight or MLB players involved in a bench clearing brawl.
I am not a lawyer but I think pro sports may be treated differently than the typical work place when it comes to assault and battery.
