Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The NFL spells out specific rules for players in its Personal Conduct Policy. Under the heading Prohibited Conduct the policy states that any person arrested for or charged with violent conduct "will be required to undergo a clinical evaluation and, if appropriate, additional counseling or treatment as needed." It further states: "Any Covered Person (a player or NFL employee) convicted of a criminal violation will be subject to discipline by the Commissioner. ..." Remember: This piece starts with "if convicted." That hasn't happened yet.
