RE: Saints Bounty Thread

Straight from the horse's mouth: "In assessing player discipline," Commissioner Goodell said, "I focused on players who were in leadership positions at the Saints; contributed a particularly large sum of money toward the program; specifically contributed to a bounty on an opposing player; demonstrated a clear intent to participate in a program that [b]potentially injured opposing players[/b]; sought rewards for doing so; and/OR obstructed the 2010 investigation." It certainly is a play on words, but he didn't falsely punish anybody because of this statement and the parts that I bolded, italicized, and underlined. Also because he used the word "OR", then any ONE of those things listed there will suffice. Which is why I say the punishment was excessive, but not false. |
