What else could the League do to punish him?  |
How was he suspended? He was in jail???? Again, NFL code of conduct policy. I'm not saying what punishment his employer should levy. I'm just mentioning there is a code of conduct. If it doesn't apply to going to jail for a federal crime, that is fine, looks like the Bengals will be in good shape. Sets a precedent.
Arthur Blank erased his fortunes, not the NFL. And sponsors left him, not the NFL. Again, how exactly did the NFL punish him? By saying "hey you can't play while you're in jail"? This is all in the weeds though, the real 'education' on what society in the US values will be shown if/when Vick is hired and if/when people pay to watch.
