Every segment of a population will have its idiots, child abusers, drug addicts, cheaters, and spousal abusers. This is a simple fact of statistics. The backlash against the NFL for having a few such knuckleheads seems based a little in an expectation of fantasy.
Given the number of players in professional football, common sense tells us the NFL will never completely eradicate itself of deplorable behavior. I do not understand how this idea of blaming the NFL for these issues ever came about. Why is it Roger Goodell's responsibility to do something about it? We don't assign many other organizations or professions with such a responsibility.
We need to hold Ray Rice accountable for Ray Rice's transgressions; same with Adrian Person, Johnathan Dwyer, and Greg Hardy. If the public doesn't feel like such perpetrators received appropriate punishment, it should take its beef up with the justice system, not Roger Goodell. When/why did it become his responsibility to institute justice?
