It's simple -- the NFL punishes those who are proven guilty of crimes that result in hurting the NFL's image. It has nothing to do with "fair" or "right". It's a sensible policy to deter others from doing similarly stupid things.
The NFL might glorify violence, etc., but it is not helped by fans thinking that its players are thugs or crooks, so it punishes those who bring that kind of reputation to the game.
