If they do something, it's only because the Bengal players have begun defending themselves the last couple years. No more bringing knifes to gun fights. No longer trying to play with class while clearly fighting (and losing) in the gutter.... If the Bengals don't defend themselves or react, the league is fine with the Steelers concussing and IR'ing our players. We all know it. It should make us rally behind out players. Not cower and demand our players revert back to getting beat up, abused, and bullied.
The league has changed. I don't think the league wants a game that results in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, in multiple players being carted off the field, a game that is basic mayhem. The place we watch the games is not filled with Bengals fans, and I don't live near Bengals fans. I can tell you that the people I know, the people who don't root for either team, describe the recent games as insanity... basically one step above WWE. The league, and every owner, is about one thing... making money. I personally do not believe the league wants this.
