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?

Ray Rice didn't get suspended indefinitely because the league saw the whole video of him knocking his girl the **** out. He got suspended because the FANS saw the video of her getting knocked the **** out.

I hope this doesn't turn into a new facebook trend like the ALS ice bucket challenge.

The Ray Rice Challenge doesn't sound fun at all.

There is just no way NFL security didn't see that video.

I saw the Goodell interview with CBS. He seemed like he was completely full of shit.

Weird, I checked Madden 15 and Rice is gone. I put in Def Jam Vendetta and he's a selectable character now.
