The public mockery of the ineptness of the commissioner of the National Football League continued today – this time via a scathing comment from a United States federal judge.
Minnesota Viking running back Adrian Peterson was, after being placed on double-secret probation for all but one game last season, ultimately suspended by Führer Goodell for the final six games of the year. The issue with that unpaid suspension was that it was retroactively enforced. The off-field incident took place many months prior to Goodell’s announcement that the personal conduct policy was being revamped, and such incidents would now result in a six-game suspension rather than two games.
