Do I believe that the NFL should have a Personal Conduct Policy that applies off the playing field? Yes, I believe it should. Do I believe that the current policy is good? No. It's horrible. For all the reasons that Stradley mentioned.
IMHO, Stradley does suggest ways to change it by pointing out the flaws in the current system. Such as pointing out that the one investigator's recommendation of not suspended Elliot was not included in the final report. A report that was likely amended by the NFL's attorney, much the way he amended the Deflategate Report. I honestly believe that Stradley comes right out and says that the NFL shouldn't be investigating anything. They should be letting the courts handle it and then handing out punishment based on the court's decision. Personally, if the player is arrested, penalizing him 50% of his salary seems just. That 50% goes into escrow until the courts reach a decision. If not guilty, then the money is returned. If guilty, then the money is given anonymously to a charity. Only then would I suspend the player at the 50% pay with requirements for counseling and doing service time (1000 hours) and reinstatement only after 500 hours are completed.
