NFL Sends Loud Message With Pacman Suspension

"Although no one disputes that Jones and Henry are in this situation primarily because of their own actions,..."

Who is secondarily responsible for the off-field behavior of these two players? The answer to that question is that no one is responsible for their actions other than Jones and Henry. Good for Goddell and Upshaw. The union could decry these suspensions and ruin the league that affords them the opportunity to earn the money they do as fans flee a sport they see as becoming increasingly thuggish.
