Dante Stallworth may have gotten a slap on the wrist for his guilty plea in his DUI manslaughter case, but the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, stood up and said 'not so fast'.
"The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life
and was inexcusable," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a letter to
Stallworth. "While the criminal justice system has determined the legal
consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to
determine appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused
irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players
and the NFL," Goodell said.
Goodell suspended Stallworth indefinitely without pay.
