The union won't, and shouldn't, allow an interview to be the foundation of "evidence" and the basis for disciplinary action.
IMO, this is either a fishing expedition or for appearances, or both.
Al-Jazeera accusing NFL players of playing dirty is akin to the Russian Olympic team pointing fingers at them to me. I totally agree that the he said allegations from anybody should be attacked by the union, but the NFLPU (what it should be called) has got to be the sorriest excuse for a union that ever has been. Ordinarily, I'd laugh at a Steeler being accused, but this is worse than the Patriot act. I also foresee major problems down the road when contract time comes around. The Communist organization that is the NFL is the only outfit that can convict people without any real evidence, and because they feel that more probably than not someone did something they can suspend them. They can deal out suspensions for whatever duration the feel like apparently depending on whether they like the guy or not. They can take away half a year's pay from a guy for infractions that weren't part of their policy when they were committed. Their main enforcer can keep his job when you know more probably than not he seen the Ray Rice video already when initially he was going to give him a slap on the wrist. And...you think Flacco is overpaid? Goodell makes twice what he does! Unless the NFL players really are "big dumb jocks" this next contract ain't gonna be easy.
