EXCERPT: Here was an politically safe opportunity for Americas - TopicsExpress



          

EXCERPT: Here was an politically safe opportunity for Americas richest and most powerful sports organization to send a strong message regarding violence against women. On Thursday, the message was received, loud and shamefully clear. The NFL suspended Rice for two games and fined him an additional game check. Turns out there is a cost for domestic violence: $705,882. Consider that Josh Gordon, a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, is facing a 16-game suspension — an entire NFL regular season — for testing positive for marijuana. Sure, Gordon had failed a piss test for weed previously, but Rices punishment still feels a tad light, even if it was only the first time he nearly beat a woman to death.
