Hey Roger

Roger Goodell states, "The league is an entity that depends on integrity and in the confidence of the public..."  Per Merriam- Webster integrity: "Firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values".

Well Roger, as a member of the public that you depend on and as a woman---you know-- that segment of the public you want to attract more to your game/league----THIS woman has little confidence that you actually value integrity before--- well--- let's see--- the health and well- being of your players who are routinely sent back on the field post concussion or injury; or the health status of countless retired players who have physical, mental and emotional issues ranging from loss of memory, seizures, depression, suicide and multiple severe and debilitating physical ailments. It took years and lengthy and costly legal haggling to get the league to assume any responsibility for these unfortunate outcomes and even then, not nearly enough to account for the suffering and loss of life! It's a well known fact that players are routinely injected with Toradol before games so they can play pain free through their injuries. After all, what value are they on the side lines? It's not a narcotic. It's legal. Therefore it's okay. Integrity?

And now Ray Rice. While we don't know for sure exactly what went down in that casino elevator most of us out here in the public that you depend on believe an NFL trained and conditioned football player knocked a woman around then dragged her limp body out of that elevator seemingly without regard. In the court of public opinion Roger you are being slammed because the measly 2 game suspension SEEMS to send a message that in the scheme of things (domestic abuse-wise) if it's a first offense and you're thought of as a "good guy"  you'll get off a little lighter in your system that you claim strives for "consistency" in the fines and suspensions (sentences) that you the commissioner (judge) hand down.

 The list goes on and on about incidents off the field of play. Ray Rice's woman- bashing  will be replaced by the next shooting, murder, DUI or domestic violence case. Integrity? Nah.
