That's a joint proposal from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL players' union executive director Gene Upshaw. The result of a summit meeting in Indianapolis, management and labor both expressed the desire to improve the image of the league by punishing players convicted of crimes three times by banning them from the playing field for life.
As the Associated Press article points out, the number of players with a rap sheet is still a small minority, but also a very visible one.
It appears the league and players association wants to make their intolerance of criminal activity just as visible.
That's good news.
