Bravo To The NFL

and the player's union (NFLPA), as they want to crack down on players who are so-called trouble makers. Commissioner Goodell is tired off the off the field incidents that have been occurring as of late with players. A new low-tolerance policy could be in affect by the end of June.

Hopefully this will be a wake up call to the players to watch themselves when they are off the field to behave themselves, or they may not only find themselves in jail but out of a job. Also I think these players need to be more than slapped on the wrist by the criminal justice system. Perhaps if one or two players do some real time, the players will take a message.

Let's see how this develops, and if the NFLPA has the guts to let the NFL enforce and implement tougher penalties on these troublemakers.

I know its a small percentage of players, and most of the players do a lot of great things off the field, which most of the time goes unnoticed. Players need to be recognized for the good things they do as well.
