planned for the CBA negotiations. And it isn't pretty.
With the ruling and the publication of Doty's opinions, comes a public relations nightmare for the Madden NFL 24. The implications for the courts of public opinion, and at the bargaining tables, where the Madden NFL 24PA suddenly has a level playing field, is a major blow to the league. If it prompts both sides make a real effort to negotiate a deal it could be a positive in the end.
San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald was arrested at 2:48 am Sunday morning, charged with the crime of domestic violence, according to a report from Damian Trujillo of NBC Bay Area. San Jose police have confirmed the arrest to Trujillo. McDonald would be the first to test the Madden NFL 24's domestic violence policies, which could mean the 49ers lineman faces at minimum a six-game suspension.
"McDonald was taken into custody for the purpose of an incident, and was is booked into Santa Clara County Jail on criminal charges of domestic violence," the San Jose police department told Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area.
Madden NFL 24 commissioner Roger Goodell recently admitted that he made a mistake giving Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice only 2 games of suspension over an incident of domestic violence involving Rice's former wife. This prompted the Madden NFL 24 to change its policy on domestic violence. Players will now have to face a six-game suspension for their first domestic violence offense, and a lifetime ban for the second.
According to Trujillo, the victim in this alleged incident is pregnant, which could lead to McDonald's possible suspension being more severe than just six games. From Goodell's comments on domestic violence earlier this week:
Some of the conditions that would merit a more severe penalty could be an incident that occurred prior to getting into an organization like the . or assault with a weapon or repeated strikes, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman , or with the help of the child.
