Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addressed the NFL’s decision to increase the suspension and used a metaphor with offensive lineman. Though it is pretty down the middle and he isn’t critical of the NFL and slightly praising the NFL saying they got it right the second time around.
“We have in blocking terminology, we have recovery,” Jones said Tuesday morning on KRLD-FM, via the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. “That’s when an offensive lineman gets beat on the first move, but he has the athletic ability to recover and try to get it right on the second move. I know we’re doing that and trying to get it as good as we can get it on the second time around. I think that’s happening.
“There’s no question in my mind, the emphasis we have on spousal abuse in the NFL and the lack of tolerance for it. It’s intolerable and will be adjudicated accordingly.”
