I'll make it simple.
NFL = Entertainment.
NFL $$ = advertisers.
Advertisers don't like domestic violence. They really don't like it when it is caught on camera.
To appease the advertisers the NFL has to publicly uphold its "image" so it will punish those that commit DV so that it doesn't risk the chance of getting a public black eye and losing potential advertisers.
When you play in the NFL you agree to give up certain rights the average Joe has and you agree to do certain things for the "team" and "league". If you don't like it, there is always the CFL.
