when you're basically the face of the NFL and their star, you can do whatever you want lol

Oh so now it's not about money, it's about public perception of your image?  But, I thought it'd been tarnished by this?  How would you be the face of the NFL, with such a tarnished image?  Doesn't really pass the smell test.  Especially given the rest of the country was 'utterly convinced' of guilt.  Even though the Judge disagreed.

It is about money. He's the face of the franchise and the face of the NFL, him missing any game time or any games or any marketing potential,loses the NFL money. He loses game time, the entire league loses money. Its pretty simple.
