Elliott Gets TRO; NFL Considers Suspending Federal Courts

The National Football League just learned a valuable lesson.

Don't expect a favorable court ruling when Aaron Judge is in a slump.

The justices are 'way too bitchy when that happens.

What other reason could there be for their ruling against the free world's true leader?

A sub-par 40 by the Commish, maybe?

Who besides who was there knows what Zeke Elliott did or didn't do in Columbus two years ago, when an accusation was made but not pursued that he pushed a female acquaintance against a wall, causing her harm.

Predictably, the NFL is still trying to find magnetic north on addressing domestic violence in the wake of how it bungled the Ray Rice incident.

The problem with that, of course, is the NFL has no moral compass.

Think about their reaction to the court ruling for a moment.

As usual, their primary focus is on them. They've pursued counter-suits, peripheral suits, and whatever other sorta suits that come to mind.

If they were truly serious about the underlying issue of domestic abuse rather than their own image, the millions in legal fees they're gonna toss a high-end attorneys, consider how much more constructively they could address the issue by actually donating those monies to non-profits on the front lines.

Of course, the NFL is an outfit that cares little behind its beloved Shield, whether its insatiable greed -- think franchise shifts -- or hypocritial Pink October promotions:

Currently, projects are that Elliott will play a full season for the Dallas Cowboys. Hopefully, he's reconciled in some positive way with the woman involved in this issue.

More hopefully, maybe the NFL's frontier justice approach will, ironically, persuade self-serving abusers that the resultant hassle -- merited or not -- simply isn't worth it.

Of course, that's akin to advising Americans there are wiser choices for tour destinations than North Korea.

A rather unique view of enforcement is in place there, too.
