Should Jamal Lewis be suspended by the NFL??

I believe Lewis violated the law before he was in the NFL. If that is the case, do you think the NFL shouldn't have a right to punish him to any greater extent than the legal system?

Tough call, IMO...I actually lean to 'no'. It wasnt until yesterday that I realized that all the stuff he's in trouble for happened 4 years ago.

If they don't punish Warfield, I'd let the Lewis' problem slide.

No. He wasn't in the NFL when it happened.

Actually, since it occurred before he was drafted I don't think they have a leg to stand on. So no, I don't think they should suspend him.

(For comments sake, no Lewis is not on any fantasy team of mine either!)

I'd probably be fired by my employer.

For something you did before you were hired?

Yes, he should be suspended....

Fathers all across the country should be able to point at Jamal Lewis on the TV and say to their sons and daughters- "that is the consequences you may face should you decide to use drugs." (Yes, I know he was busted for trafficking)

I would become a convicted felon at that point, and unemployable in my current job.

I also think the NFL should let Warfield off, I mean if you were the only guy on the D making a play, wouldn't that drive you to drink?

yep...

if you want to treat Lewis like any other person, he should be fired and not be able to find a job other than digging ditches.

Why do I have to be on his side?

The NFL has the “right” to punish Lewis for whatever they want. They can make punish him for wearing the wrong socks or for having a decal on helmet. The word “right” is misapplied here. Pardon my pedantic streak.

As to whether they should or not, my opinion is no. He was not an employee at the time. Unless they have a policy that they do not hire criminals [which they do not], then they should not suspend him.

Siding with the drug-dealing scumbag on this issue.

Is that relevant?

Does the NFL have a rule about convicted felons?

Glad he has a clean record, because he wants to play.

I looked it up, and he was drafted when he was 20... haven't seen any specific dates on the phone calls though :shrug:

It would make a difference on where the NFL stands though.
