There's always middle ground and it is typically found where double standards don't exist and there's consistency in what is done. The NFL is blowing in the political winds in hopes of expanding their market. They made an example of Gruden but don't hold the players, people you say are more valuable than a quality head coach, to the same standards.

There is no double standard. If the public accept something, there's no issue. Half-time shows are accepted, the entertainers are accepted. Gruden failed the public sniff test. Don't blame the league for the choices society makes.
When people stop watching because the players disgust them, or when segments of the NFL target market are at risk, then people get removed. Period. Until then, game on.
