You think an NFL suspension will?
Oh c'mon. As a retributive justification - sure Roger, do what you will. The NFLPA stupidly gave you plenary authority over this shit so the ball's in your court.
But if your rationale is some sort of general deterrence? Pft - ain't happening. Set the guy on fire on the 50 yard line then feed him to sharks and you're not going to stop this. An entire criminal justice system hasn't - why do you think the Hammer of Roger would?

NFL doesn't actually give a shit about deterring it. I think everyone can agree there. However, this is now the third offseason in a row they've had to deal with this nonsense in the news. Henry Ruggs kind of closed the issue himself with the severity and Jalen Carter wasn't in the league yet, so wouldn't surprise me one bit if Goodell errs on the side of punishing Rice more severely.
