It is not a "line of thinking". It is the rules and the way it is and has been used on players before.

Personal Conduct PolicyLeague Policies for Players | 2016 Expectations and Standards of Conduct
It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. We are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the NFL, and is lawful.
Players convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding(as defined in this Policy)are subject to discipline. But
even if the conduct does not result in a criminal conviction, players found to have engaged in any of the following conduct will be subject to discipline.
Prohibited conduct includes but is not limited to the following:
Actual or threatened physical violence against another person, including dating violence, domestic violence, child abuse, and other forms of family violence;
Stalking, harassment, or
similar forms of intimidation;
Conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person;
Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL personnel.
Hope this helps. This is not the complete list of rules but it is the ones that I thought could or might be used against Hill in this situation.
