They say that everything happens in New York, although technically in the case of Brett Favre, the alleged penis pictures were sent to Jenn Sterger while Favre was playing football within the NJ Meadowlands stadium as a member of the NY Jets. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell could not prove sexual harassment, so Brett Favre was penalized $50,000 for a "failure to cooperate" in the Sterger investigation. There could be no suspension, reports the Associated Press, which has many people up in arms.
Cooperation from Favre not there
While Commissioner Goodell told the AP that he "could not conclude" that Brett Favre violated the league’s personal conduct policy based upon accessible evidence, seems like the commissioner felt some action was necessary. A $50,000 fee could simply a way of implying "You’re guilty, Mr. Favre" without officially making such a statement.
It is not okay to text the opposite sex with lewd photos ever. It’s sexual harassment at any work place around. Jenn Sterger, a New York Jets game-day hostess during Favre’s tenure with the team (2008), allegedly received various lewd texts, including some Brett Favre penis pictures. Some critics question why Sterger brought up the event 2 years after it allegedly occurred, but Brett Favre’s "failure to cooperate" suggests that he was far from innocent. Favre was unfaithful to his wife within the past which makes suspicions more realistic. He has also has had problems with alcohol and pain killers as substance abuse. According to Deadspin, Brett Favre also expressed interest in two female massage therapists who worked for the NY Jets at the time.
There was not any type of suspension
According to sources, Brett Favre confessed to having left various inappropriate voicemails for Jenn Sterger – one of which included an invitation to his hotel room – but he denies having sent any Favre penis pictures. The "somewhat innocent until proven guilty" stance the National Football League appears to be taking with Favre is inconsistent, to say the least. Commissioner Goodell had to do something to keep up appearances as NFL disciplinarian. The sexual harassment couldn't be connected to Favre by the league though which is odd.
