Roger Goodell shouldn’t escape scrutiny in Jameis Winston suspension

One virtue has been left out of many Jameis Winston conversations while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has been under investigation: Integrity.

But let’s talk about that virtue and how it applies to this conversation as well as the NFL as an executive office.

Both sides of this argument have pointed to integrity – or a lack thereof – as a focal point in their case for condemnation or absolution.

For those who refuse to blame Winston without hard evidence, the battle cry is varied but one of the key points is lack of reliability in the story due to delay in reporting the player and the reports the driver didn’t know who he was until she was told by other individuals.
