The NFL is sometimes supposed to act as a watchdog entity for its players and dole out discipline when the situation deems such a thing necessary.
After multiple disciplinary faux pas, one must seriously consider if now the watcher needs a babysitter.
In two separate incidents this past week, the NFL’s jurisdiction was brought into question when Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and former New York Giants kicker Josh Brown were both handed a six-game suspension.
Elliott was originally suspended for six games by the NFL for violating the NFL’s conduct policy and allegedly inflicting physical harm to an ex-girlfriend in June 2016.
