The Voice of Reason
It was a lot of words, but it conveys a pretty common sense principle. One of them is the fact that if your employer suspends you for a rule it's never enforced before and knows that everyone else has violated in the past, there's something awfully unfair about that. When that gets taken in front of a jury, they return some awfully large verdicts against employers for that. The concept is basic: if an employer doesn't an enforce a rule, it's not a rule in the first place.
Morning RSF. You say I keep repeating myself but there is a reason for that. You continue to fail to address my point.
You continue to post as if Brady was suspended only because he broke an obscure rule that others break. That's not the entire story. He was suspended for breaking the rule but more so for lying about it, failing to fully cooperate, and for his general dismissive behavior. That played a huge role in the size of the penalty and was cited when Goddell made the announcement.
