Looks like the NFL has had enough of players who seem to can’t keep there hands to themselves. These days there has been so many domestic violence incidents revolving around the National Football League that everyone seems to think it’s ‘normal’. Well, Roger Godell knows better and he is now banning all players who are accused from attending the NFL combine and that can alter the luck of being in the NFL for an incoming rookie.
Many people are wondering why Johnny Manziel is still even on a NFL football team and has yet to be suspended by the NFL from what sources say, he and his ex-gf had a domestic dispute last week. It might take awhile before the NFL takes action but should it even have to take long? We have yet to hear Manziel give an apology or even mention the news that has transpired over the last week involving him and his ex-gf which is not the first time this kind of news has involved Manziel.
The NFL informed teams of a policy change for the NFL Scouting Combine “in a memo from the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent late last month,” per Lindsay H. Jones of USA Today.
Jones provided the details Monday: “The NFL will no longer allow players with convictions for domestic violence, sexual assault or weapons offenses to attend the annual scouting combine in Indianapolis.”
“Invited prospects would be barred from ‘any league-related event’ if a background check turns up a felony or misdemeanor conviction,” Jones noted. “Players that refuse to submit to a background check will also be uninvited.”
Those players would also not be invited to the draft.
