Does the NFL have the power to kick thier problem children out of the league for good? This is rediculous. How many times do we have to see these players get arrested before things change.

I'm pretty sure they can, the NFL is like a business, if you work and you do stupid things, you'll get fired, well what makes the NFL any different. The NFL should ban the next guy who does something stupid as a warning to all the other players.

Banning players sounds a little harsh, even though I completely agree with you that the league is getting out of control. Now, one way the Goodell can better the criminal/problem situation is by making an example of one player. Perhaps he can warn Pacman & Tank that if they do one more thing wrong during/after their suspension, they will be banned from the NFL.

As for the comment on Ricky Williams, the answerer hasn't really done his homework... Williams is going to apply for reinstatement to the NFL in September, after failing his drug test AGAIN and AGAIN. Also, if the dolphins don't want him, which looks like a definite since they drafted yet another RB, Coach Linehan on the Rams has already expressed his desire to have Williams as a backup runner behind Steven Jackson... something tells me that we have yet to see the end of Ricky. (that is--if he can keep his hands off the bad stuff)

Yes, the NFL does have power and legal muscle to banish ANY player from the league.....permanently. But why fire an employee who is going to rake in MILLIONS OF DOLLARS into my business??? Why, firing such a worker is business suicide.

We fans don't have to see any player get arrested. All we ALL have to do is boycott the games....cold. That will wake up the NFL Administration. We don't have to buy the seaon tickets. We can tell the TV poll callers we DO NOT watch ESPN or NFL televised programming....and we can be resonantly clear to explain because WE are tired of seeing urban ghetto trash get arrested on drug charges literally in front of our children's eyes.

Why the NFL is quick to sign drug addicted, drug dealing, murderous players befuddles me. I'm quite sure there are MORALLY CLEAN players who run just as fast, throw the ball just as good ( if not better ) and can WIN GAMES far better than any THUG ever will.

NFL: fire the THUGS and let them play in prison, where they belong; SCOUT OUT for clean living people for a change, OK????? Bring integrity to American Football.....

.....or we'll close down the party for you.....because WE have the power to.

Do you see Ricky Williams still in the league? No. The NFL is starting to become more strict with its off the field problems. Pacman Jones isn't playing this year (trust me, he isn't getting his suspension reduced), Chris Henry is gone for half the season, and Tank Johnson was just kicked off of the Bears for his late night DUI. I think that soon the NFL will become so strict that just a couple of mishaps will get you banned.

Your employer cannot fire you for being stupid, unless if affects your performance at the office. So far, PacMan, Tank, and Chris Henry (who has been doing a great job of staying out of the news) have not done anything that caused them to miss game time legally. They have not been in jail during the season, they have not shown up drunk (not that we know of) to team meetings, their actual performance has not been compromised. If, for example, PacMan were arrested and missed game time, then the NFL could ban him, but until that happens, all they can do is suspend.

Its no longer fairly the NFL's responsiblilty to police whether or no longer gamers do "risky" habit. lots of the gamers new contracts now have clauses in them that fines them for "unfavorable habit". yet its like apples and oranges. Are you going to inform somebody to no longer circulate the line on worry of having hit by way of a vehicle? properly, why is this any different? won't have the ability to help it that sizable Ben became a moron for no longer donning a helmet. i think of he would be attentive to extra powerful now.

Yes. Players should realize that they are NOT above the law and should set a good example for the fans of the game.

If you owned a business would you have the right to hire and or fire anyone you wanted to?
