NFL suspensions, are they effective?

Question

Or do you think there's a better way to handle players who have off-the-field conduct issues?

Answer 1

No they are not effective. They should be bounced out of the league. Same in college football. They think they are above reproach, and will never change.

Answer 2

I dont think they work at all. But i think players who dont follow league guidelines should pay fines and also a 3 strikes and your out method works I think.  

Answer 3

Suspensions can turn into vacations, unless fines are applied. Suspensions are only effective unless they have a fine with them. The wallet is what hurts the worst.

Answer 4

It cost them up to millions of dollars, so I would say pretty effective (though some bad people continue to be bad)

But I think the Bengals are headed in the right direction now (slowly, but moving forward)

Pacman, we'll have to see about him
