The first sign that he did learn his lesson was only giving Hunt 8 games even though Hunt is on video kicking a woman. I thought for sure Hunt would get Ray Rice'd after the video came out.
And let's be realistic here as well, Goodell also knows he needs his product to be on the field. Can you imagine not having Hill(Chiefs) and Hunt(Browns) on the field who are helping 2 up and coming talented teams set a new narrative of play for the NFL as they attempt to dethrone Brady and crew?

You mentioned some kind of action because of perception, but that is not equitable either. It is not Hill's fault his girlfriend had the tape and unprincipled media ran with it. As ugly as this has been, why should a team and a player be punished for it?
