This season, the league and its policy has been under constant fire for its inconsistent handling of player discipline. The NFL Player's Association has argued that the league was inconsistent in its handling of Adrian Peterson's case. In November a neutral arbitrator ruled that Ray Rice had been punished twice for the same incident, stating that he had been upfront with Commissioner Roger Goodell in their initial meeting.

The NFL also clarifies that when a case is also being investigated by law enforcement authorities, the league will wait for the conclusion of their investigation before finalizing theirs.

In the meantime, the player who is said to have violated the league's policy will be placed on the recently revived Commissioner's Exempt List, where he will be paid until the conclusion of the NFL and/or law enforcement's investigation.
