I think that it shouldn't change one bit, just because an NFL player commits these crimes doesn't mean that the head man of the NFL should be given the responsibility to punish said person. However, if the team goes a head and cuts him for doing such things then that decision is on them.
The judge should have to decide whether or not he can continue to play, having the commissioner deal with this, on top of the police is wrong.

The NFL - Time for a change?
As you all have probably seen or heard or read somewhere, there are domestic violence scandals blowing up all over the NFL, along with the child abuse scandals recently with Adrian Peterson and Jonathan Dwyer. many people are calling for the commissioner to step down, and for something to be done about this corrupt organization. Your thoughts? (Also, new information: The Ravens knew about the Ray Rice video in detail within hours of the attack)
Domestic violence has been documented at or before the 19th century. With the evolution of internet and social media I believe this generation has adapted to using these resources for public attention. This is something the NFL needs to adapt to. With the wide spread of viral videos streaming around social media they need to fix their rules and regulations to compensate for this change. The newspaper and tv/news was the source of information in the past and now with internet/social media, most information gets to people before it hits the newspaper/tv/news. The future of our privacy will be altered and everything we do will be scrutinized.
In the past if we witnessed something wrong, we couldn't grab our phone and record and post on facebook so that the incident will go viral. Most times we will notify proper authority (if any) and the incident will most likely be handled within its jurisdiction. It would not be as big like these present day issues.
I'm not saying that its bad to have social media and internet. In some aspects its safer to say that we have alternate means of communicating even if it means reporting crimes/incidences right on the spot. This is something that needs to be accepted and I don't believe calling for the commissioner to step down will be the best option. I believe refining the NFL morals and regulations is what will fix this issue.
