What have been the NFL's biggest public relations problems in its history?
Honestly, I'm trying to get amped up over this Ray Rice deal, but it doesn't seem bigger than a lot of other stuff they've had to deal with over the years, and some other stuff seems bigger. Off the top of my head, I can think of...

The concussion issue and guys like Mike Webster and Joe Phillips
O.J. Simpson
Rae Carruth
Jovan Belcher (though that got scant attention the more I think about it)
You had the Hornung/Karras gambling suspensions back in the 1960s
The defections of players to the WFL in the 1970s
The AFL/NFL wars
The USFL tussles

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.

It seems to me that the O.J. thing dwarfed everything else in scale, though of course most of that deflected off of the NFL shield since he'd been out of the league for so long. So what's the biggest impact that the NFL shield has taken?

I still don't understand how Riley Cooper can still play in the NFL after that racist video came out but two NBA owners who didn't use the "N" word can lose their teams but meh.

It's all overreaction America. If fail to see how on camera domestic assault is any worse than domestic assault that happens in the privacy of your own home but...ok.

Since the NFL altered Ray Rice's suspension I think every NFL player who has ever been convicted of domestic assault needs to be suspended indefinitely, though.

Two weeks is about max for a big story nowadays


The NFL will recover. The appetite for football in this country is beyond insatiable

Pretty sure a man hitting his spouse in his own home is no better than doing it in an elevator with a camera.

It's interesting to me how many people believe this. There are no new rules.

IMO it's worse because more than likely he gets away with it. In the Ray Rice video it's cut and dry evidence and he is going be held accountable for it (or more than likely be held accountable).

It's because owners are supposedly held to a higher standard. Not saying it's right, just saying that that's the way it is.

If the only difference is a video, then that's bogus. A lot of people have brought up the excellent point: exactly what in the **** did they think happened in that elevator?

If they knew he drug his unconscious wife out of an elevator after beating her, and decided to only suspend him two games for it, then the video should not have changed the suspension.
