The NFL has said 'Enough' to all the misconduct by the players.
The NFL has decided it can no longer tolerate the misbehavior of its football players. The NFL Players Union member advisory panel voted on Thursday, February 22, 2007, to impose stricter penalties for player misconduct. Both Gene Upshaw (NFL Players Union Head) and Roger Godell (NFL Commissioner) lauded this move as something positive for the players and the NFL.
The NFL is looking not only to hold the players responsible, but the NFL also wants to hold the owners responsible. This move is not too surprising considering all the off the field incidents of players on the Cincinnati Bengalis and Indianapolis Colts.
"Guys are moving in the direction that we need to have penalties similar to the drug (substance abuse policy) penalties. At some point, you're out. You can't just continue to keep violating policies. You can't be in the wrong place, three or four times."Gene Upshaw.
It looks like the NFL is trying to avoid the 'bad boy' image that is starting to plague the NBA by cracking down on the player’s bad behavior before these actions get too far out of control.
