Elliot Suspended Six Games

More than likely though... he will appeal.

NFL is rigged.
He wasn't even charged for this incident one year ago.

NFL just wants Dallas to lose.
DWill to Dallas!

 

Yep just like it was rigged when Big Ben was suspended for 6 games (reduced to 4)...he wasn't charged either.

 

According to reports, the NFL has photographic evidence of abuse. Beyond that, an employee doesn't have to be charged with a crime to be disciplined. I'm willing to be anyone who works on salary can look at their employment contract and find some kind of morals clause in there that says that their company can punish them for a variety of things that aren't crimes. Same thing goes for pro athletes.

 

Thank god someone gets it.

 

He's an employee of a multi billion dollar corporation. As one of the faces of the corporation when you do things that reflect poorly on the company there are repercussions.

 

Quite intriguing... quite indeed.


Does not mean the NFL is getting a free pass.

being that you don't work for the NFL you don't have to like it. The players, coaches et al know what they signed up for. They're being paid millions of dollars to play a game and to some extent be a role model. If they can't act in a fashion deemed appropriate by their employers they can get on with their life's work.

 

Here's more on the suspension. Not only does it cover the dv complaints by his ex girlfriend, but also an incident where Elliot pulled down a woman's top and grabbed her breast. There were videos of that, but he wasn't charged the either.

His conduct is "detrimental to the league" and that's all it needs to be. I'm so super happy that he's suspended that I might just do cartwheels down the street.

 

This is a huge loss for Cowboys, if appeal is not over turned.

 

People forget, me included that the Cryboys do have some depth at the RB position. I have always liked Alfred Morrison.

McFadden is always hurt so he is a non factor, I would like our Steelers to give DW a call and get rid of the Kniles project.

 

What are the cops in Columbus Ohio doing out there? Oh wait a minute, didn't Elliot
play for the Buckeyes? Some things just stay the same.

 

SCNB, look at what the 4 people hired by the NFL found. I am curious as to why Columbus Police never went after

this????? WOW Talk about incompetent. And the people of Columbus Ohio didn't bring this up???? WOW Sounds

like he is no better than Ray Rice.

 

True.


However, given the fact that Goodell catastrophically botched the Ray Rice scandal in addition to his impending end as the commissioner, I am certain this is part of Goodell's "curtain call" so to speak.



Not that I agree with this decision either but it appeara Goodell is wanting to go out with a bang.

 

Simple. Article 46.


Zeke's ex wants to "ruin him forever."


What better way to do so than having essentially a tyrant oversee ones due process and still lose?


Brady lost. No reason to see why Zeke will not either.

 

His behavior last year obviously warrants a suspension and his appeal will not stand scrutiny.


TMZ Sports:

The NFL issued a statement saying, "Over the course of the last year, the league conducted an extensive investigation. League investigators interviewed more than a dozen witnesses, including Ms. Tiffany Thompson, who had alleged multiple instances of physical violence in July 2016, and Mr. Elliott."

"The league also consulted with medical experts. League investigators examined all available evidence, including photographic and digital evidence, thousands of text messages and other records of electronic communications."


Elliott's made headlines for all the wrong reasons this offseason -- he was caught exposing a woman's bare breast at a St. Patrick's Day parade and was accused of attacking a man in a Dallas bar in July.

Adam Schefter says the NFL factored in the St. Patrick's Day incident when meting out punishment.

 

He shoulda led with his shoulder and hit her under the chin.......you know, the Birfuckt maneuver....he would only have gotten 3 games.

 

I've lost any respect I had for Zeke. His "ex", while not a saint, was known by my daughter.... and it's not surprising that she and her family want to stay out of the headlines. The background stories seen by the locals paint a horrible picture about him as a person. He should just drop the thing, take his punishment like a man and move on. There's no sense in dragging this girl through the public mud. He's acting like an entitled athlete that has no repercussions to his asinine actions.

 

Interesting indeed.


States that, while the appeal will hold to six games, due to time constraints, Ezekiel Elliot will play against New York...
