Goodell says he saw no reason to suspend Titans QB, but reminded Young of his responsibilities

Commissioner: No suspension for Young over fight

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he decided not to suspend Titans quarterback Vince Young over a tussle at a Dallas strip club in June.

Goodell said Thursday that he saw no reason for any disciplinary action over the incident after meeting with Young earlier this week. Goodell spoke while in Green Bay, Wis., for the Packers’ annual shareholder meeting. Goodell says he reminded Young that he’s responsible for his conduct.

Young was given a misdemeanor assault citation after the fight last month was caught on surveillance video. He quickly apologized and said he hoped Goodell wouldn’t suspend him because he owned up to his mistake.
