I don't see where this was a "NFL incident" in the first place. This was between Farve and Strenger...not a NFL problem.

Sterger was an employee of an NFL team, the Jets, at the time of the incident(s) and the league has long taken a stance that it can fine and/or suspend players for actions detrimental to the league.


Granted, actions against a player for sexual harassment is a very rare case, but there is precedent for it. The big one is the Lisa Olson case from the early 90s in which there was a big stink about how Patriots players acted around her in the locker room during post-game interview time. The league ended up fining Patriots players and management around $80K in total.

I thought she was employed by the Jets?

And the Vick situation was just between him and the dogs. The league pursues issues all the time that have no immediate bearing upon a player's relationship with the NFL.
