Alvin Kamara pleads no contest to lesser misdemeanor charge, jury trial is cancelled; civil suit also settled on confidential terms (1 Viewer)

The NFL has been swayed in the past by PR considerations. I don't know how much PR will be considered regarding the length of the league's ultimate suspension of Kamara.

I'm interested in whether or not the house back up my supposition here:

The Kamara case has indeed NOT gotten the media run that the Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and Kareem Hunt cases got. ISTM that those other cases transcended sports media (maybe less so with Hunt) and got 24/7 media coverage while Kamara's case only popped up now and then on ESPN or Fox Sports. Accordingly, the league -- if they so choose -- can "get away with" a lighter-than-you'd-think suspension for Kamara without risking much of a PR/media backlash.

Does that sound about right to others here?
Pssst... the NFL doesn't want this story to stay big. They can put pressure on the "outlets" to keep this from being a focus. This was during an NFL sanctioned event in Las Vegas. One of the major hold ups for moving to Vegas in the first place was exactly incidents like this. (Season 3 of Ballers, which I'm watching now, was about moving to Vegas)

I think it will be 1 game or no suspension. The league office has been quiet about it and they will know all of the details. If the victim was partially responsible then Kamara will be excused.

Nope. He will get a 4-6 game suspension and will deserve it.
 
Right on. Did it ever get big in the first place?
It was a well covered story for a few weeks. But it pretty much coincided with the Brittany Griner's capture and the Ukraine War starting up.
 
Boy, a lot of L's being taken in this thread... :yelrotflmao:
Yeah, I would have thought Saints fans would at least give Kamara the benefit that the situation was self defense and that the other guy was the aggressor. I know some in here are trolls but you got some legit Saints fans who want to see the criminal justice system lock up Kamara and throw away the key. They act like if Kamara’s is not locked up for any amount of time he’s going to eventually brake in their house beat them up and their kids.
