General Zeke Elliott suspended 6 games

[Hauler]

Huge news. Domestic violence.

He was never arrested or charged with a crime, but the NFL has determined his actions violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.

The incident dates back to July of 2016.

Elliott has 3 days to appeal.

It's reported that Jerry Jones is furious with the decision.

so basically the whole Cowboy season

 

[member 3289]

Yeah I'd be appealing that shit right away.

 

[Hauler]

He would miss the following games...

NY Giants
@ Denver
@ Cardinals
LA Rams
Green Bay
@ 49ers

Unless there is some Ray Rice level shit that they don't want made public.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Bullshit. He wasnt even in the league.

This is the issue....

I want to see Roger Goodell's cracker ass hold a press conference and explain why Giant's kicker Josh Brown got a 1 game suspension for the same exact shit and Zeke gets 6.

Don't the Cowboys generally get better treatment than other NFL teams? I have no idea but i've always kind of gotten that impression

Looks like only 1 divisional game but 5 conference games?

How important of a player is he to Cowboys?

 

[Hauler]

Bullshit. He wasnt even in the league.

Technically he was. The draft was in April of 2016. He was under contract in May. This allegedly happened in July.

So allegedly will cost this young man millions? Tyreke Hill was actually convicted and on probation when drafted and they didnt do shit. Plus the woman he smacked around was pregnant at the time. Goodell gonna Goodell

He was a monster last year. Led the league in rushing attempts and yards. Averaged 108.7 yards per game. 16 TDs.

No.

But when it comes to domestic violence, the NFL doesn't apply logic or consistency to their suspensions.

That's atleast 500 yards in thay span they will have to make up for..

Arguably the best RB in the NFL right now.

 

[ECC170]

But he will appeal and it'll be reduced to 2 count on that.

Nah.
That's probably not a fair statement.

Their owner is notoriously forgiving if the player is talented, but the NFL has taken over discipline instead of leaving it up to the individual teams.

 

[Hauler]

Maybe. Depends on what they have on him. But it wasn't enough to criminally charge him so...

 

[Mix6APlix]

Good.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Except he can return against America's Real Team, Those Who Pay Homage To The Indigenous People of Our Land, The Washington Redskins.

The draft is in April so if this started in July he was in the league

My bad somebody already all over it

His first game back will be against that shit team. 200+ yards, 3 TD's.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Not my fault your beloved Browns duck worse than the Skins.

He still hasnt been convicted so what does it matter. He was convicted in the court of public opinion but not a court of law.
