It isn't good for business.

So in essence the NFL can say we don't know if you're guilty but we're going to suspend you anyways because you're suspected of wrong doing? What's the point of our justice system if employers and take upon themselves the power of judge, jury and executioner?

Without concrete proof or reason? Without offering a substantial severance package for me to go away? Man, you would make a great employee.

You're scaring the hell out of me.
