The NFL just sent a message

The NFL just sent a message to all female fans. I'm going to give you a rough translation.

"Ladies, we value a pigskin more than we do you and your safety. However, we'll gladly  wear pink in October like we consider you more than just cheerleaders on the sidelines there for our viewing pleasure." Roger Goodell and the NFL.

I won't pretend I'm not pissed about Brady's suspension being upheld. I won't pretend I'm not seething Goodell more than likely sat around with his thumbs in his ears and waited until two days before training camp to break this news when he never intended on lessening the suspension. It is more probable than not the appeal was nothing more than Rog sitting on his throne using Brady as a court jester.

Upholding Brady's suspension at four games - the same punishment Greg Hardy received for assaulting his fiancee - is equivalent to the punishment being the same for jaywalking and DUI. The offenses are miles apart and yet the punishment is the same.

As a female fan of football I'm beyond annoyed. Greg Hardy physically assaulted his girlfriend. He put his hands on her in anger and did bodily harm. Tom Brady is suspected of maybe doing something wrong (wherein there is no proof). Every football player should be pissed off on behalf of their mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, cousins, and neighbors.
