NFL discipline double standards: Diggs and Merritt escape punishment, Cooper faces charges
Key Questions
Why is Stefon Diggs not facing NFL discipline?
The NFL closed its review and decided against discipline after Diggs was found not guilty of assaulting his personal chef. The charges stemmed from an incident on December 2.
What happened with Chiefs coach Dave Merritt regarding NFL punishment?
Charges against Merritt were dropped, allowing him to avoid any NFL discipline in a manner similar to Diggs.
What new charges is Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper facing?
Cooper will face two additional charges, including a felony charge, as reported in recent developments.
Does the NFL show inconsistency in handling discipline cases?
The highlight notes that prominent players and coaches like Diggs and Merritt often avoid punishment while others, such as Cooper, face additional charges.
What is the current status of these NFL discipline matters?
Diggs' case is resolved with no discipline, while Cooper's situation remains developing with the new charges.
Stefon Diggs won't receive NFL discipline after assault case dismissal, and Chiefs DBs coach Dave Merritt also avoids punishment after charges dropped. Meanwhile, Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper faces additional felony charges. This reeks of inconsistency — stars and coaches get passes while lesser-known players get hammered. Perfect fuel for calling out NFL accountability and favoritism. New development: Cooper charged. Still developing.
