The NFL isn't equipped to handle domestic violence investigations

Josh Brown has been released, but the NFL's issues when it comes to handling cases of domestic violence are far from over.

The complications seem clear for the NFL, which was hoping for a fresh start with a revised conduct policy following the Ray Rice fiasco. For one, the league is not in a position to fully investigate allegations of domestic violence and is completely reliant on facts to become known -- such as Brown's journal, in this instance. Second, the league is realizing these cases have too many mitigating circumstances to stick to the firm six-game minimum penalty standard.
