NOW calls for Cable to be suspended - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

NOW calls for Cable to be suspended - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Wonderful. The NOW has next to nothing to say about Wm. Clinton's transgressions or the exclusion of women from Obama's inner circle, but does have time to worry about allegations made against a football coach.
Cable should be suspended alright, because he has a horrible football team to show for his efforts. If the allegations against him are proven then the NFL should take whatever action it takes in such cases. I'm not sure that allegations alone should lead to suspension, especially when they are unrelated to his actual, you know, job.
I see from the article that he admits slapping his (now ex) wife twenty years ago.  Terry O'Neil:
“Why would the NFL tolerate having a man who admits to having battered his wife"
Honestly. Our president did cocaine twenty years ago, our media icons have violated many, many, laws. Roman Polanski raped a little girl twenty years ago. I'm supposed to get excited that a football league has a man working in it who slapped his wife twenty years ago? I wonder if she ever slapped him? Does that make a difference? Should it? Are there two tiers of justice and transgressions for the two sexes?
