The NFL’S new personal conduct policy may have 2 different layers to it and affect players differently from everyone else. Under the old policy, everyone was subject to the same policy under commissioner Roger Goodell and team personnel was subject to the same punishment as a player. Now, according to Peter King the NFL has revamped the whole system.
One for players and one for everyone else. King cites the reality that it make take longer to finalize the policy that applies to players. That’s because the players, unlike everyone else in the league (except for game officials), are represented by a union. Through the union, the players have collective bargaining rights, which the players are attempting to utilize as the conduct policy is revised.
