I am not sure what they are waiting for, I think being accused of 9 rapes is ground for termination. According to Pro Football Talk, while Sharper has been suspended without pay, he hasn’t been fired.
The question begs why?
I would assume there are some legal implications in firing him without a conviction that they are trying to work around, but for now not a good look for a league that says it holds itself, players and employees to a higher standard of behavior than the general public.
