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)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?
