Where Does the NFL Draw the Line Now?

• Performance Enhancing Drugs.
• Abuse of Animals.
• Domestic Abuse.
• Locker room bullying.
• Saying Racist Things.
• DUIs.
• Child Abuse.
• Bounty Gate.
• Illegal Hits.
• (Alleged) gang alliances.

Baseball has had to deal with the following:

• Gambling by a player/manager.
• Steroids.
• Amphetamines.
• HGH.
• Adderall.
• Spouse abuse (remember Brett Myers).
• DUIs.
• Bean balls

What is the standard for whether someone plays, gets suspended or gets banned?

How do we balance forgiveness and forgetting?

Is the professional sports on-the-field workplace different from the off-the-field one?  If you can help the team win the Super Bowl, will they cover for you?  But if you're in the front office as a data clerk, will they fire you immediately?  Should there be a difference?

Perhaps rosters and practice squads will expand, not only to address injuries, but also matters of character.  

Right now, the NFL has quite a mess on its hands.
