Since people’s views about ethical and moral behavior affect the way corruption is examined, the word has a slightly different meaning to each person. Additionally, misconduct across various societies is viewed differently due to social and cultural borders. The criminal justice system has had many instances where corruption had affected the outcome of a case and has inserted itself into the legal process.
This paper will discuss the NFL Concussion Scandal and analysis of the ethical issues regarding the scandal. American football has always been defined as a contact sport. Individuals know before playing the sport that they take on the risk of physical harm to their bodies. However, concussions and other repetitive head-blows could end in death and permanent damage.

As Commissioner of the National Quidditch League, I have come to the conclusion to make rule changes to insure the safety of our athletes. The NQL is one of the country’s most popular and highest revenue leagues. We have a duty to uphold ethical standards to set a good example for our young fans. In conversations with doctors, players, owners, and some fans, the league office has decided to enact some new policy changes. The most important policy changes enacted are that all players must now where helmets, a new concussion protocol, and players who intentionally target opposing players will be at risk for fines and suspension. Some may feel that the character of the game is being threatened by these new rule changes. However, the safety of our athletes is much more important. We are confident that these new changes will further demonstrate why the NQL is one of our country’s most popular leagues. Lastly, as a league we can no longer claim to display integrity if allow the head injuries to continue.
