If they were serious about, they wouldn't allow players in the league with a criminal record. This just a PR stunt.

Breaking News: F$U files a class action lawsuit against the NFL! Their main complaint is that it discriminates against the school and there will be zero representation from their school if this is held up.

^This. It does hurt some potential candidates, but for the most part if a team is interested they will go to the school or fly the player out to them. It's the league trying to get ahead of the media/backlash, when it is too far behind already.

Not a problem for FSU. Tally LE doesn't t arrest FSU players for domestic violence. They give warnings for other types of disturbances instead.

I don't know why this pisses me off so much. It's just a law of nature. You don't piss in the wind. You don't stand on superman's cape. And you don't hit a woman...
Unless you're playing naughty school girl meets the principal and someone wants a spanking.

The NFL is a ****ing joke.

Can we get this policy extended to clown-ass announcers who pander to violent dooshbags?

 

[Gator Fever]

Lol those charges are almost always dropped or changed due to non cooperative victims

Exactly. It said 'convicted' and we all know there are rarely convictions related to FSU thugs hitting/raping women, stealing crab legs/shoes, etc.
Reminds of the WKRP episode where Johnny Fever is asked if he's ever been convicted of a crime, and he responds: "Convicted?............No."

Isn't it barring players that get into trouble ?
