NFL will penalize a player for pointing but will not for domestic violence

A study published in the journal Violence Against Women found that out of 117 NFL players arrested on allegations of violence against women, the impact on their playing careers was minimal. The study noted that player value and performance were stronger predictors of post-arrest career trajectories. Higher-performing players often receive second or third chances following incidents of off-field violence. However, lower-performing players are more likely to see their careers cut short, regardless of whether they have been arrested or not.
The study suggested that NFL teams may be making examples of lower-performing players by cutting them from the team or refusing to sign them to future contracts to demonstrate their stance against violence against women.
