It's an unprecedented and significant thing. The Washington Post and Pro Football Talk both have words that describe what the NFL is going to do with Deshaun. According to reports, both publications spoke to people who were familiar with the plan for the quarterback to be reprimanded by the league. He wasn't indicted on criminal charges.
We don't have time periods, we don't have money, and we don't know if it's a fine or suspension. According to PFT, the NFL Players' Association will mount their defense on three pillars, whose names you're familiar with: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Commanders owner Dan Snyder, and Pats owner Robert.
When violations of the Personal Conduct Policy occur, ownership and club or league management will be subject to more significant discipline.
That is the kick. In a league that almost refuses to lay down any real sanctions on its owners, the NFLPA can build a case around the fact that three of them have recently faced similar situations and gotten off lightly.
Jones didn't investigate allegations that his friend and former Cowboys executive, Rich Dalrymple, had spied on and taken photos of cheerleaders changing in the locker room We still don't know the details, but he has been accused of sexual harassment as well as building a sexist workplace in Washington. The Commissioner of the NBA has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee next week about the bungled investigation into the team.
The Personal Conduct Policy does not require criminal charges and is overseen by a former U.S. district attorney.
The outcome is one in which no one gets held accountable if this defense goes through. We are all aware that it takes a lot for an owner to face real consequences. The owners in question should be fully and openly investigated and given appropriate punishments for their transgressions, as well as the other owner, who should be named as well.
