NFL's Tough Stance on Player Behavior: What's Next?

The NFL has been strict about player behavior this season. Players have been penalized for various actions:

  • Brian Branch was suspended for hitting JuJu Smith-Schuster after a game.
  • Drew Greenlaw faced consequences for yelling at a referee.
  • Ja’Marr Chase got in trouble for spitting on Jalen Ramsey.

Monday Night's Incident

On Monday night, things got messy again:

  • Tre’von Moehrig punched Jauan Jennings in a sensitive area during a game.
  • After the game, Jennings hit Moehrig back.

The league now has to decide what to do:

  • Should they suspend Moehrig?
  • Jennings?
  • Both?
  • Or neither?

The Seriousness of the Actions

  • Punching someone in a sensitive area is serious. It's not like spitting, but it's still bad.
  • If Chase was suspended for spitting, it makes sense that Moehrig might be too.
  • Jennings hitting Moehrig after the game is also a problem. Branch was suspended for a similar action.

Comparing Reactions

  • Ramsey wasn't punished for his reaction to being spit on. But his reaction was immediate.
  • Jennings waited minutes before hitting Moehrig.

The league has a tough decision. They need to send a clear message about what's acceptable.
