Well, in the past, there have been suspensions. In October of 2008, Adam Jones was initially suspended indefinitely for an altercation with a bodyguard, but that was reduced to a 4 game suspension. In 2011, Cedric Benson was suspended for 3 games for misdemeanor assault. These are two incidents that talk of violence. There have been many suspensions for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but I don't know all the details and I am too lazy to look all of them up.
The NFL's personal conduct policy includes "Criminal offenses including, but not limited to, those involving: the use or threat of violence, domestic violence and other forms of partner abuse...." So the first part, the use or threat of violence covers this scenario. Considering how the NFL is cracking down on players who tarnish the game, I would put my money on him getting suspended at the very least. Below is the 2012 policy. I can't find the one for 2014, but I would bet it's pretty similar. http://images.nflplayers.com/mediaResources/files/2012%20Personal%20Conduct%20Policy.pdf On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 4:40 PM, LRS Scout <[email protected]> wrote: > > You can't remove the size distinctions, especially from an nfl player. > > He could easily have restrained her and it's not the first time. > On Sep 8, 2014 4:38 PM, "Vivec" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Forget the woman, let's look at two men. > > > > The guy slaps Rice in the hallway. > > > > Then the guy slaps rice again inside the elevator.
