Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
 

The league has nothing to do with the six games. That was all on the independent judge. However, the league now has three days to appeal and Goodell can issue whatever punishment he wishes ... a full year suspension, for example. The NFLPA can only sue the league at that point, but cannot appeal his decision.

I understand there were no criminal charges pursued against either Watson or Roethlisburger. But 1 accusation = 6 game suspension and 20+ accusations = 6 game suspension seems a little odd.

Like Guido said, the league can appeal and extend the suspension and maybe fine him. But it sure looks like he is getting his best case scenario so far.

Tiered NFL justice system... just like in real life?

Back to the thread topic and as no surprise the investigatory hearing has once again been postponed to at least two months from now.

The precedent has been set

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
 

I fear that whenever the dust settles Kamara will get far far more than 6 games. See the arbiter Robinson's statement yesterday and how it was stressed that the Massage Watson penalty was 6 games because it was non-violent. Sorry to be negative, but I have the sense they're going to make an example of Kamara and they just set the precedent to do it..

Re: Alvin Kamara Arrested
 

I have a feeling the defense is building a case with all of these requested postponements that may end up showing the "alleged victim" was the perpetrator.

And don't forget, Judge Robinson's sentencing is not binding if appealed by the league or the NFLPA. What Watson did to those women was far more atrocious than what the three men (the ones that did the alleged kicking) that were in the company of Kamara did to that guy.

All that said, we'll most likely have to wait until after the season to see what becomes of the accusations. At that point the league wouldn't want an example. The best they could hope for is that it disappears. Don't forget about the gun incident with Lattimore. It went away and the league couldn't have been more pleased.

Saw that Brady gets nothing for his shenanigans with Miami while Miami brass get the shaft. Looks like the league is more interested in Brady playing than any justice. Must be nice to be a "star" player that brings in plenty of fans attention. Bottom line. MONEY. Which is more proof of the NFL screwing teams out of playoff and superbowl opportunities and favoring others.
