The NFL handed down a harsh sentence for Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh. After his latest incident in which Suh repeatedly shoved Dietrich-Smith’s head into the ground before stomping on Smith’s arm, the NFL thought it prudent to suspend Suh for 2 games. During the suspension, Suh will not be paid, and he won’t be allowed to participate in any team activities.
In all reality, Suh is lucky he’ll be allowed on a football field at all for the rest of the season. The NFL did the right thing in suspending him for multiple games. It shows that they are willing to take the necessary measures to ensure player safety, especially when the actions in question were after the play.
Adam Schefter had reported that Suh had called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize, but that was seemingly irrelevant in the way the incident was handled by the NFL.
In case you somehow missed the play in question (I’m not sure how you could have missed it), here it is:
