Silver said during a community service event in Staten Island that the league has been discussing with the NBA Players Association ways to further educate players and provide programs to them and their families. We learn from other leagues experiences, Silver said. Were studying everything thats been happening in the NFL. Were working with our players association. Weve been talking for several weeks and were going to take a fresh look at everything we do. The NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell have been criticized for punishments that were too slow or lenient for Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Goodell said last week the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl. The NBAs collective bargaining agreement calls for a minimum 10-game suspension for a first offence of a player convicted of a violent felony. We have in place the appropriate mechanisms for discipline, although well take a fresh look at those as well, Silver said. But most importantly, its education, and its not just the players, but its the players families. Thats what were learning, too. We have to take these programs directly to the players spouses, directly to their partners so that theyre aware of places they can go to express concerns, whether theyre anonymous hotlines, team executives, league executives. And were consulting experts. Therres a lot to be learned here.ddddddddddddIts a societal problem; its not one thats unique to sports. Silver spoke at the opening of a refurbished Staten Island playground and basketball court in an area damaged by Hurricane Sandy. He was joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Knicks and Nets officials in announcing community efforts throughout New York, which will host the 2015 All-Star weekend. Silver said the goal of the programs is to directly reach 500,000 children. New union executive director Michele Roberts also took part in what was her first official day in her new position. However, Silver said discussions with her started before Monday. We do have in place, unlike the NFL, a penalty scale, and to the extent it needs any tweaking, then well talk about tweaking it, Roberts said. What I hope were going to do as well is figure out ways to prevent any occurrence like that on our side. Its one thing to know how to react in the event it happens; its a lot smarter to try to make sure it doesnt happen in the first instance. Silver noted that the NBA has had its own difficulties with issues off the court, saying the aftermath of former Clippers owner Donald Sterlings racist remarks means everyone understands the high standard that we are living under now in the NBA. The NFLs issues just accelerated the need to look for improvements. Its been going on, but the whole world is focused right now on whats happening around the NFL, Silver said, so itd be foolish for us not to try to learn from everything thats happening with that league as well.
