This is BS! 49ers player

McDonald, 30, was cut within 45 minutes of the team’s finding out about the investigation, and his release resulted from a “pattern of poor behavior,” Trent Baalke, the team’s general manager, said.

I can see some woman saying to a player - Give me $100k or I will end your career.

I'm surprised the NFLPA is sitting back and letting this happen. If they (a team w/in the NFL) will/can do this to him then it could happen to any of them. When that happens, what you've suggested would be more prevalent and effective. I wholeheartedly agree the NFL needs to clean up its image but I believe they need to do so w/in the confines of the law. A mere allegation shouldn't be grounds enough for termination.

Were Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson ever convicted of anything?

I think Adrian plead no contest.

Yes. Ray Rice had reached a deal for his crime. So, essentially yes he had. Peterson had not. That situation was one that I also didn't agree with in how it was handled. Give the man his day in court and then deal out the punishment. Until that time it is simple speculation and hearsay. Do what the police do when investigating one of their own...place them on paid leave until a decision has been reached and then act accordingly. When you are messing with a person's livelihood (and one that only last 4-5 yrs on average yet brings in millions) you can't proceed like a bull in a china shop.
