Pro Sport Leagues are losing control over Players and Teams
When did Pro Sports turn into leagues where the People in charge thump their chests and have some players or teams held accountable and other players and teams nothing at all, not even a slap on the wrist! When did the Players Associations protect players that are guilty of violations and see that it is ok that they aren't penalized or punished at all! First off, we have MLB and the Angles Josh Hamilton who was found to of violated the substance abuse program by relapsing with drugs and alcohol and yet we are now told that thru the MLB Players Association there isn't anything MLB can do to suspend or penalize him for this offense which definitely isn't his first or maybe not even his second violation. But yet the Twins Ervin Santana gets an 80 game suspension for testing positive for steroids. Once again a joke and mockery of the game of Baseball and a huge blemish and Black Eye that is rivaling the NFL and their issues with Players and Teams. Lets see where to begin... Oh yes, lets start with the NFL fining the Atlanta Falcons and losing of draft pick(s) for pumping loud noise through their sound system when opposing teams were on offense. Yet the Cleveland Browns GM (Ray Farmer) illegally texts the team on the field during a game and the Browns get a fine but no loss of draft pick(s)? Adrian Peterson admits to hitting his child with a switch and get suspended indefinitely, yet Greg Hardy allegedly hits a woman but before it can go through the legal process he pays her off and she allegedly refuses to testify against him. Even more ironic is He signs a new big money deal with the Dallas Cowboys and even though He missed all of last year he gets huge money, no criminal record unlike Adrian Peterson and pretty much gets away with domestic violence by paying the accuser off where as Peterson admits his mistake and guilt and is still suspended by the NFL and the Vikings! And let us not forget DeFlateGate, you know the issue with the under deflated Footballs during the AFC Championship game held almost 3 months ago. I wrote about DeflateGate a few times in January and February and said in my blog that the NFL even though they said they would do their own investigation even after the Patriots did their own one and concluded nothing happened yet the balls mysteriously were deflated, I said then and I still say Surprise, Surprise, the NFL has not concluded anything as of yet and never will!!! Kraft and Goodell are very close friends in a League of Good Ole Boys!!!!! There will be at some point a brief but laughable explanation by the NFL and the Patriots to what happened but this issue as well as the many others the NFL continues to look a blind eye too, continues to causes a bigger and bigger Black Eye each and every time they do nothing when an incident happens or they give a slap on the wrist or they chose to be very partial to those in giving out punishments and penalties. The Integrity of the game of Football and the NFL has been called into question numerous times in the past few years! Roger Goodell and the NFL Owners are laughing all the way to the bank with all the money they make each and every year and will do nothing to change this perception of the NFL as long as they keep getting rich off of poor saps like the Fans and Pundits and Sponsors.
