I'm only shocked that Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al won't be there.

So if some guys from Apple get convicted of Domestic Violence and if they don't lose their jobs, the victims should get money from Apple ?

Obviously

Gloria Alred is a whore in every respect. A God Damn F-ing whore.

And she is also a slut.

Allred is a gold digging twat. I hope no one shows up for her presser.

What a shock, the stupidest **** on earth wants more publicity.

I say we put her in an elevator with Ray Rice.

I don't know who this is.

Yeah... this is where I don't get it...

I can see the NFL image issue. But it would seem like legally, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. These guys aren't at-will employees. Unless there is a standard "good citizen" clause in every NFL contract, How are they being removed legally for actions have nothing to do with football?

Because they are at-will employees.

Ask all the guys the Vikings released not named Peterson.  I'll wait.

Contracts don't mean shit unless you're actually on the team/roster.

Plus most standard NFL contracts have a morals clause, something like this...

11. SKILL, PERFORMANCE AND CONDUCT. . . . If at any time, in the sole judgment of Club, Player’s skill or performance has been unsatisfactory as compared with that of other players competing for positions on Club’s roster, or if Player has engaged in personal conduct reasonably judged by Club to adversely affect or reflect on Club, then Club may terminate this contract. In addition, during the period any salary cap is legally in effect, this contract may be terminated if, in Club’s opinion, Player is anticipated to make less of a contribution to Club’s ability to compete on the playing field than another player or players whom Club intends to sign or attempts to sign, or another player or players who is or are already on Club’s roster, and for whom Club needs room.

All of which essentially make NFL players at-will employees when they violate the morals clause in their contract.

So the answer is yes. There is a "good citizen" clause in every NFL contract.

Apparently a few of them didn't bother to read through the entire contract.

The moral outrage train chugs on. All aboard!

Whateves... seriously.

You have huge meatheads violencing each other for entertainment. Dont be shocked when they are dicks in the real world.
