As the NFL takes unprecedented measures to force players to leave the violence at work, the league is having a hard time getting players to limit the violence to the portions of work where violence is allowed.
The disconnect between the league’s zealous effort to clamp down on domestic violence and the shoulder shrugging over workplace violence has become glaring. Last week’s memo to all team reminding them that “fighting will not be tolerated” focuses only on games. To date, there has been no league-wide effort to clamp down on fighting during practices.
Which makes it not surprising that fights continue to happen during practice and elsewhere within the workplace.
