In accordance with the terms of the Policy, the Commissioner’s Office will not issue any further statements at this point in time.

Bauer is obviously appealing.

As expected, Bauer is appealing. https://t.co/45a0G0lCzH

Bauer responded to the suspension:

In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence & sexual assault policy. I am appealing this action and expect to prevail. As we have throughout this process, my representatives & I respect the confidentiality of the proceedings.
