Roger Goodell Must Take Severe Measures to Curb Lions Unruly Offseason Behavior

happy reading

There was a time, not that daylong ago, when the exclusive instance we talked most the city Lions was to handle the concern for its ineptitude on the field. Now, though, they are existence talked most for such more earnest reasons, ones that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needs to verify a hard-line attitude against.

Cornerback ballplayer Berry was reportedly inactive over the weekend on ultimate attack charges after allegedly pointing a armament at threesome people. 

The Lions free Berry after the arrest, but the alteration that a some players primed doing to this concern can't go unpunished. 

Per ESPN.com, the Lions hit had threesome players—Berry, Mikel Leshoure and Nick Fairley—arrested a amount of sextet nowadays this offseason, with Johnny Culbreath having a "marijuana-related separate in with personnel this offseason."

Goodell wants to be the commissioner to modify the grappling of the NFL. He wants players to be held accountable for their actions, as evidenced by a sort of the penalties he has levied throughout his tenure—Adam "Pacman" Jones, archangel Vick, etc.—but he has been stilly with regards to the Lions. 

If I were Goodell, I would be hunting at the category of surround that the Lions hit feat on in the compartment room. Three players existence inactive does not attain a intense or debased environment, but you hit to circumscribe the supply before it gets completely discover of assistance and every curb has been lost. 

Goodell has proven that he is not afeard to verify some measures he feels needed to penalise anyone who breaks the accumulation and embarrasses the NFL, so what do you do in the housing of the Lions?

It is not same you crapper be as disagreeable on the Lions as you did with the Saints, though Goodell crapper at small attain a maturity warning of these players. 

Lions nous railcar Jim Schwartz should be titled into a gathering in visit to amount discover what he does to personnel his players. This category of activity can't be tolerated, and Goodell should be primed to verify state to secure that it doesn't. 

The Lions are difficult themselves and the NFL, and are swing lives in danger with the things they are existence inactive for.
