I just happened to be in the car listening to sports talk when Roger Goodell had his rumbling, stumbling, bumbling of a press conference to address the NFLs poor handling of the Ray Rice situation. It was as bad as John Oliver makes it out to be. Not only was the NFL using the Washington DC time honored tradition of releasing bad news on a Friday afternoon where no one will here it but he answered no questions and gave no real information on policy changes other than saying "we're going to change our policy".
It's amazing to me that a Billion dollar company like the NFL, a company that has had to deal with real life murderers, doesn't have a set policy on how to handle players/coaches/officials that are charged and or convicted of violent crimes. It's been said plenty but I don't think it can be repeated enough, getting caught smoking weed is an automatic 4 game suspension in the NFL. Beating another human being unconscious in an elevator? We'll think of something when we get there.
