NFL errs

It’s hard to understand the double standard of the National Football League.

If a player takes a forbidden substance or a player is charged with playing with a deflated football, they are suspended for anywhere from four to 16 games. But if a prominent player doesn’t honor the country that gives him the opportunity to earn those dollars — on national TV — the NFL does nothing. Must be a double standard for stupidity.
