Roger Goodell being Commisoner Hurts the NFL, all he does is look for reasons to bring down Black star players, How come we never hear about him suspending a white player? im quite sure they're not angels

What white player has broken the law since he's been commissioner?
The only reason black players are getting suspended, and I feel like I keep having to repeat myself because people either don't get it or they're blind. The league is like 10:1 ratio of black and white...There is just that much greater of a possibility for black players to get suspended. The fact that no white players have been suspended is definitely due to that mixed with the fact that maybe they didn't grow up with the same kinds of friends as people like Chris Henry or Pacman Jones, keeps them out of trouble.
Goodell is not racist. The odds are getting black players suspended, I'm sure he'd suspended a white player for being involved in a shootout at a club too.

A few simple facts why the "other" people got more Harsh punishments: All of these guys either cheated or had multiple run ins with the law, and if your so bent on thinking he has a double standard, remember this: each incident is treated and handled differently, you cant set strict guidelines for offenses because each one is different, and here are each of the players cases you mentioned: Tamk Johnson: Multiple run ins with the law, spending time in jail and violating his probation: 8 games Pacman Jones:....where do I begin? Lets just state the Las Vegas shooting incident. Michael Vick: Will all know the story already. R. Williams: Let's just say his hands are always filled with "green" and not money. Domonic Rhodes: Violated theleagues Substance Abuse policy with Steriods. Just to make your point even more invalid, Wade Wilson, assistant head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who is WHITE, was suspended for 5 games for using HGH, a banned susbtance. Belichick had no control over the video tape, he wasn't the one using it. Yeah I know youll say he's the head coach and should watch over it, but think about it, do you know how many people work for a head coach? So in reality, no one is thinking Roger Goodell is a racist, sounds like your just trying to bash him because Belichick wasn't suspended yet Goodell imposed the maximum fines and punishments he could within NFL guidelines.

Yes he is certainly is racist, that's why he just banned Michael Vick for life. Oh wait, he didn't, as a matter of fact he said he was going to let the situation play out for now. Gosh, don't you think he would have jumped at the chance to crush one of the most prominent black players in the league if he was such a racist?
The 3 players that have been disciplined by the league were suspended because they have all been repeatedly involved with the police over the past year or two, not anything to do with their skin color. If you want to believe that they are in trouble because they are black, then perhaps you are the racist.

First off, its not a racial thing. The NFL is filled with black athletes who are classy, charitable people. Look at Roy Williams, Jonathan Vilma, LaDanian Tomlinson, they're not getting in trouble.
Its the thug mentality that some of these morons have in the league. It has nothing to do with race.
These guys arent 15 years old anymore, they need to grow up and be men, not children.

Maybe you're right. What we need is an Affirmative Action for arrests in the NFL even if white players are less qualified on the daily police blotter.
Think before you ask...

Who was the last white nfl player arrested? There are plenty of idiots regardless of color. just look at Big Ben's bike ride through that lady's windshield.
But as far as i can tell being an idiot isn't against the rules. but breaking the law is.

Jared Allen of the Chiefs just got handed a ssuspension for the 1st 2 games of the season for being arrested for DUI. There's a white guy (I can't think of his name) that plays for Denver that will probably get a suspension for an assault charge in the off season.

Yea its Goodell's problem they chose what they did. How many white players had a 10 run ins with the cops in the last two years? or had a small arsenal in their basement? or got indited by the feds?

Totally!
He should suspend Peyton Manning for hitting strippers and having his friends shoot up the place.
He should suspend Tom Brady for breaking probation and having tons of guns in his basement.
And he should stop covering up Brett Favre's underground cat fighting business.
Seriously though. Grow up and stop blaming whitey. If any of those guys I mentioned acted like Pacman, Tank, or Vick they'd be suspended in a heartbeat. Race has nothing to do with it.
