I thought a DA's job was to convict those accused of crimes? Of course he's out to get him.
I am all for second chances, but not for 3rd and 4th chances. I for one am glad the new commission is harshly penalizing players who's off field conduct is detrimental to the perception of the league. And I personally don't care if people have not been convicted of crimes to warrant the league's scrutiny.
If players are putting themselves into situations where accusations can even be made that they are breaking the law or engaging in activities that put a negative light on them, the team's they represent, and the league as a whole, then I'm all for the league telling them they are not welcome there until they clear their names. I'd rather see the league on a guilty until proven innocent stance. It sure would act as a deterent for those that believe they are above the law or feel that if they're not caught there is no risk on their million dollar careers. I applaud the league for slapping these guys in the mouth and treating them like babies.
Sure it opens up a potential situation where an innocent person gets accused of something and suffers a consequence unjustly, but I think the deterrent alone will benefit the league as a whole and the end will justify the means.
