Maybe his ****...Has there been a single one of these things that Goodell handled properly?
Wow. Thats pretty significant.Nike has just dropped AB.
I think this could be a blessing in disguise- if that won't jolt him into cleaning up his act, nothing else will.
How about passing the California Bar and being licensed to practice law there, would that qualify or should I look further?If the extent of your legal knowledge pulling up the revised FBI definition of rape, you need to look a lot further.
I think the league has a problem here. Before all this scandal broke, AB, a very talented, but very troubled player, was a big distraction and likely causing anxiety to the owners because he was able to shoot his way out of town by getting into a fight with his GM and embarrassing his coach (and several other good players, unhappy with their teams, have somewhat followed suit in demanding trades). The owners undoubtedly want to put the kibosh on this behavior from players. The Pats took on AB and already got him to shut up and appear to toe the line, at least so far. This is what the league wanted to happen with AB, whether they'll admit it publicly or not. If they now open some big investigation, when it's pretty clear he is not going to be charged criminally (put me in the camp that if these ladies were going to pursue criminal charges, they would have done so already), he'll undoubtedly go back off the deep end, and they'll be re-opening a can of worms they thought was solved. If I was the NFL, I'd table it to see how things work out in other arenas (or at least hide behind that excuse). If I was AB, I'd be paying the lady off, with an iron-clad confidentiality agreement. Let's see if anyone involved is smart enough to make a "business decision."Okay Quick Poll (can’t start another thread on this topic)
Would you rather:
A. Have the league investigate, resulting in an indefinite timeframe and the possibility of either exoneration or guilt.
or
B. Take a 6-8 game suspension right now, assuring Brown is back for the home stretch (may miss some critical games though) but throw away any chance of exoneration.

PM me and I can send you my Bar Card number to verify.........
Neither.
There is no reason to put him on the exempt list because he has not been charged with a crime, and even if he were everyone charged with a crime certainly isn’t put in the exempt list.
There is no reason to suspend him because there has been no investigation showing he is guilty if anything.
Goodwill may be a moron but the league is smart enough to understand that if you suspend players for UNSUBSTANTIATED ACCUSATIONS then their players will immediately be subjected to blackmail by fake accusers who know if they threaten to make up a salacious story the player knows the story regardless of any basis of truth will get him suspended.
The vultures will come out of the woodwork.
Whoa. Arrogant lawyer fight. Get your popcorn.No need, anymore than there's need for me to present mine:
- State laws vary, and they can differ from federal law and FBI guidelines
- Case law impacts statutes
Absolutely, that is why I cited FBI/Federal. I was responding to a poster who was sure he/she was correct based on what I assume was Black's law dictionary without recognizing as you did, the nuances and differences in jurisdictions and precedent. His contention was that forcible, meant by force and I was posting to show that forcible can and does in some jurisdictions means, " without consent" .No need, anymore than there's need for me to present mine:

Under. Well under.I wonder how long it was up on Instagram before the NEP social media watchdogs reached out to ABs social media people.
Over/under 5 minutes?
Gee....d'ya think this could turn into a pattern with this fella........???????
Probably. Mrs RW and I receive alerts when our kids post stuff to Instagram/FB, etc so it does take a minute or so to propagate. Then once we review it we'll text/call and say "not appropriate". That is anywhere between 2-5 minutes.Under. Well under.
you root for the wrong team.Things aren't looking good for AB here. These accusations are deep stuff.

With that said, I can say our teenagers (13,15,17) have 10x the social media self-control/self-awareness than AB does and it didn't take too long to teach them.
