I think that most reasonable people would look at the facts in this case, and realize that Elliott was railroaded by the NFL. However, the problem is that he isn't proving innocence or guilt with the current court battle. The other problem is that Roger can basically legally do whatever the hell he wants. The NFLPA and all of the owners should be ashamed for allowing that man to carry so much authority, and then sitting by while he abuses it. The NFL has become a second arm of the justice system. Suspending players for crimes that they weren't even charged with, let alone convicted. They spend more time investigating their own players than they spend marketing them. The sport is losing viewers, and most of it has to do with the product that is on the field. People tune in to watch football, so they can see big hits, great plays, etc... That's also why everyone including Roger himself make such an amazing living from football. However, nowadays, every great play is ruined by a yellow flag, and every big hit is followed by a flag a fine. The game stops every couple minutes so that the ref's can huddle up and figure out all of the infractions that have taken place. Beyond all of that, you have to have at least a bachelors degree in legal studies to even carry on a water cooler conversation about the NFL at work. Rather than talking about football plays, everyone has to talk about penalties, fines, suspensions, social rights, court hearings, appeals, and feelings. Honestly, I can only imagine how bad the NFL would be struggling right now if it wasn't for fantasy football. Fantasy is the life blood of that league right now.
