It isn't an NFL issue, it is a rich issue. There has always been two levels of justice and treatment. Those with money, and those without. How many rich people get to decide when they are going to turn themselves in to the police after an arrest warrant is issued? Correct answer...almost all of them.
Agree with this, but according to the reports, Las Vegas PD informed the NFL that Kamara was a suspect in a felony battery case before he played in the Pro Bowl and he was still allowed to play. That's pretty ridiculous. Seriously, no one thought about the optics on this one?
Being a suspect is not grounds to prevent someone from going to work or in his case playing in a game which is part of his job or then you have the whole messy scenario of acting on assumption if our legal system carries any weight... you know, the whole innocent till proven guiltyAgree with this, but according to the reports, Las Vegas PD informed the NFL that Kamara was a suspect in a felony battery case before he played in the Pro Bowl and he was still allowed to play.

I bet if he was working a shift at a 7-11 they'd just let him work it first and then question him, right?Being a suspect is not grounds to prevent someone from going to work or in his case playing in a game which is part of his job or then you have the whole messy scenario of acting on assumption if our legal system carries any weight... you know, the whole innocent till proven guilty
Surprised? This is the league that has allowed multiple players who have killed people, while driving drunk to resume their careers. This Kamara situation shouldn't surprise anyone.Agree with this, but according to the reports, Las Vegas PD informed the NFL that Kamara was a suspect in a felony battery case before he played in the Pro Bowl and he was still allowed to play.

If there’s a warrant for his arrest yeah you don’t let him go to work. Maybe it took them during the game to get the warrant. That said, if the NFL knew he was a suspect you’d think they would have said “let’s sit this one out.”Being a suspect is not grounds to prevent someone from going to work or in his case playing in a game which is part of his job or then you have the whole messy scenario of acting on assumption if our legal system carries any weight... you know, the whole innocent till proven guilty
I am not saying he's innocent by any means and not endorsing the guy's character according to my own disposition but it appears it did work out accordingly because he did not get away from being tried or committed another offense and that would be the whole purpose of arresting him in the first place in an attempt to bring the case to justice. I am sure there is some degree of process they might have had to follow through with before they could arrest him, but it did not take long to carry that out
Forget about the game, how that kid wasn’t behind some type of bars is beyond me.
Beyond that - how was he still driving? SMH.
Right. A person from my hometown sat behind the judge who was responsible for the case at the game and she too was frustrated and upset that somehow the due process seemed to escape her being able to try the guy during a whole season where he was still free with the results still leading up to a court date. Makes one think if small town politics can curb the legal system, what then might often happen in larger cities when backed by money
You must not work criminal.
