Bingo. TMZ Sports and Deadspin, as awful as they sometimes can be, are hugely helpful when it comes to stories like this.The networks would show them if the networks thought the pictures would improve the network's bottom line. Fox shows TMZ on TV with no problem.
The issue is the networks are afraid of the NFL getting angry and doing something to cost the networks money.
The problem is that everyone in this thread, including me, watched the NFL's product this weekend which includes domestic abusers, substance abusers and miscreants of every stripe. Until we stop, the networks will kowtow to the shield because that's what pays their bills at a time when they are losing eyeballs for every other type of content outside of live sports.
