I thought they handled it quite well, actually...

They instituted that new policy in 2014 after the Ray Rice thing. Made it cut and dry, first incident, 6 week suspension. Second incident, indefinite.

There have been more than a handful of cases since then and none were handled consistently.

Charges were dropped and there wasn't a film of the incident, or pictures of someone who showed signs of abuse released to the media, that is the difference. Public opinion means everything to the NFL.

Carbon copy of Zeke Elliots case. No charges.
However, Foster is arrested TWICE in less than a month, Drugs and domestic violence.

I just want to see consistency.

Really? I thought Zeke Elliot was caught on tape pulling a woman's top down in public. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nope. He was suspended for an alleged act while he was at Ohio State. The NFL spent over a year investigating domestic violence allegations raised by Elliott’s former girlfriend in Columbus, Ohio. She filed police reports and went to the Columbus City Attorney’s office to pursue charges in July 2016. Elliott was never charged with a crime.

So he was punished for something that was already adjudicated before he even in the NFL, yet the NFL decided to hold him accountable?

Water under the bridge. Again, it is just consistency. And the NFL screwed the pooch yet again.
