Today at 3:00, Steve will be holding a press conference regarding the criminal investigation involving Tyreek Hill and Crystal Espinal. This will be held in our 4th floor conference room.
We may never know what happened. It could have been an accident, assault, neglect, or a combination of those things. It's possible Hill's a piece of shit and did it and it's possible Hill and/or his gf did not cause this and the prosecutor doesn't believe them.
When I was just a little dude (about 3 years old or so), my father lifted me by the arm and dislocated my little, tiny shoulder joint. One of those "shit happens" events we hear so much about.
Of course, it was an accident. No one ever even imagined my father doing anything abusive in his entire life. As for myself, I harbor no ill will toward my father and my shoulder works pretty well most of the time.
However, if that were to happen today (exactly as it occurred) and my grandmother decided to "get" my dad for some reason or another ... I am convinced that my dad would be charged with abuse. Would I have testified against my dad? No. Would my mom? Absolutely not. How about the neighbors? Never. But would that change the facts? Nope. And the popo and CPS would still be just as interested and the process would continue to unfold.
Granny would have ignited the fuse and my dad would have to hold the bomb.
That troubles me. And I can honestly say that I'm surprised that it doesn't trouble more people.

consult with appropriate experts as needed. Depending on the nature
of the violation and the person’s record, discipline may be a fine,
suspension, community service, or a combination of the three. Violations
involving domestic violence or sexual assault will result in a baseline
six-game suspension without pay, with more if aggravating factors are
present, such as the use of a weapon or a crime against a child. A
second offense in this category will result in banishment from the NFL
an employer can fire you because they didn’t like the way your business suit made them feel. They don’t have to justify shit. There are no protections from being unduly reprimanded, suspended at work. You can sue but an NFL player has always lost those cases in court. [Reply]

To be fair, she does seem to be slightly crazy as fuck...not to make light of the situation, because no dude should ever hit a female...but she stays with him. And he tries to break up with her... [Reply]
You're glossing over one thing. Goodell is basically god when it comes to disciplining players and can do whatever he wants whenever he wants and fully expect it. [Reply]
