Look at what happened to Rueban Foster. Was put on the exempt list and subsequently cut from his team. And then the ex gf admitted in court she made it all up to get back at him for breaking up with her. Foster never received a public apology from the league, never got back any of the money he lost from the league basically indicting him and putting him on the exempt list, and is now stuck with the shitty redskins.

NFL, as well as us, need to stop jumping to conclusions when these stories pop up and assuming they are guilty. Let the process play out, then react to the results
This should be how NFL handles it, but probably won't.

Remember Elliott got 6 games suspension without any proof and even they dropped the charge in court.
