  • What does the Media think?

    There is your answer.

    To me the bigger issue is not whether Donald will be suspended due to some technicality of practice vs a game. The bigger issue is how the sports media basically laughed this off as a non-issue but when Garrett did it, he had committed a crime etc. The only difference here is a game vs practice.

    Very strange, indeed. 

    I mean, does a helmet swung in practice hurt less than in a game?

    To me, it's not exactly a 'practice' when there's another team on the other side of the ball.  It's not a game....but it's not just practice either.

  • Hopefully they'll punish him and Araiza together: Make Araiza play DT, make Aaron Donald punt.

    It's no less logical than any other recent NFL punishment..

    just another reason the nfl don't want in on the officiating business... they'd almost have to rule on this..if that's their refs being sent out to inter-squad practices?

    losing regular season games won't happen.. But I'm kinda shocked, that Donald won't be majorly fined to one of Roger's fine donation clubs?

  • The league is saying it's in practice so they can't and won't do anything. 

    Wait what's that personal conduct policy for??

    Agreed. They can base their punishments on what they see fit, even if a player is found innocent, but they can't punish someone who commited an aggression in plain daylight in front of the cameras. 

    Aaron Donald is becoming a bigger douchebag as years go by. 

    You simply don't swing a helmet, it's not that hard to understand.

    Right. Apparently the personal conduct policy only applies to off-field stuff. How stupid.

    I have watched the game for a long time.  I can't think of a time where the league stepped in and fined or suspended a player for a training camp brawl.  I see no reason why they should start now.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Ditto. 

    Just surprising given the times we live in. 

    My point is if they're going to intervene for off the field stuff (assaults) then this would ve the time to at least issue a statement
