NFL conduct policy

Eventually this issue would get tackled here, so with Chris Henry getting caught driving with a suspended license, vehicle impounded, you know, just normal every month stuff for him, it's time to mention it.

Henry and Pacman Jones both have given the sport a "black eye", and you know what? It's time to stop. Henry specifically should have been more harshly punished for his providing minors with alcohol in his hotel room, that's worse than any drug, steroid, or traffic stop other than a DUI with a real alcohol content (.08 is nothing for a real man, try .15 or .2, that's a real DUI). An NFL player, using his fame and fortune to get underage kids drunk and, GASP, I bet he planned or did have sex with some of them. For that to get public, and with his history of pot charges, vehicle charges, whatever else I don't feel like looking up now, he should have gotten a year suspension.

There's how you police your league. What would happen to Dumbass Jones if Henry had gotten a year, and then Dumbass pulled that stunt in Vegas? He'd be gone a year, nobody would argue it because of the precedence, and the rest of the players would understand that when they mess up, there will be financial and playing time related repercussions, not what happens now where steroids are punished, and everything else is looked the other way. It's not a thug league, it's not a race thing (Kerry Collins comes to mind, go PSU!) but it is a problem that has festered due to the league trying to sweep character issues under the rug. It's the leagues fault they're in a tough spot with Dumbass, time to take a stand and put him and Henry on the sideline for a year.
