The NFL will take no action in the New York Giants locker room fiasco. In my opinion, the lack of action on the part of the NFL Commissioner’s office is wrong and foolish. At the very least a strong condemnation of hazing and/or bullying was warranted. Coach Tom Coughlin took too little action and way too late –also in my opinion. Moderator Hank Nuwer
Here is the excerpt from the New York Daily News:
An NFL spokesman said the incident was a “club matter” and that the league would mete out no discipline. Tom Coughlin met with his team Monday morning. He said any disciplinary action was “between me and the players,” and that he still needed to sit down with Pierre-Paul. But the practice of dunking has been outlawed, he said, “because of the nature of what took place and the potential for injury.” He added that players should be more conscious of what they place in social media.
