Pretty incredulous how dirty they did Zeke.

 

[Bobhaze]

The NFL is about as consistent as a 13 year old. I expected this guy to be out half a season at least.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Seems the players are seeing the lack of evenness in this suspensions also.

I hope they keep speaking out.

The revenge part of me says Jerry/Zeke should file a $100MM lawsuit against Goodell. The smart play would be just ignore it, water under the bridge. He should have gotten a 150 game suspension to be fair.

 

[tyke1doe]

An utter travesty.
Goodell should be ashamed of himself.
The personal conduct policy is subjective and a sham!

Zeke should speak out too, along with Gregory and Gordon.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Sketchy.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Zeke should speak out too.

He won't.

He might get suspended if he does......

They wouldn't win.
The league and union gave Goodell this power.

Everyone saying that Zeke was the precedent for this suspension is correct but the reason some of us feel like it could've been more is cause of Article 46. The commissioner has the power to make it much more based on the offense yet he's not going to. Zeke actually got more than 6 games but had to appeal to make it 6 correct?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

He won't.

He might get suspended if he does......

Yeah, he might get banned for life or suspended for 3 years.

Pretty incredulous how dirty they did Zeke.

Especially when you consider the fact that an NFL investigator, a woman, said she could not find enough evidence to charge Zeke.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

There's A LOT of differences in all 3 of these.

A LOT. Like 20+ differences.

 

[CWR]

Sketchy.

Good old boy league.

 

[MonsterD]

Kinda weak. Well inconsistent as all. NFL not really having a strong system and protocol for this disciplinary action entail.

 

[DanTanna]

Especially when you consider the fact that an NFL investigator, a woman, said she could not find enough evidence to charge Zeke.

Not only did she say what you said, but she recommended NO SUSPENSION for Zeke, and Goodell said F that you get 6.

 

[Adreme]

If the NFL does not appeal it (to themselves) that is a very bad look. Even the decision where the excuse for the suspension only being 6 is that the 24 allegations are "non violent sexual assault" is probably the single dumbest sentence I ever seen a professional attempt to type to justify their actions. The NFL basically knows it has to appeal this which given that there was any suspension they can and if they do he will be out the year as expected.

 

[Adreme]

Not only did she say what you said, but she recommended NO SUSPENSION for Zeke, and Goodell said F that you get 6.

Which is all the evidence I need to believe that the NFL will appeal and just suspend him for the year.

I agree the decision, 2 courts found not enough evidence to convict. We have to go with the facts whether we like it or not. If these women chose to settle for money instead of taking him to court, then they have possibly put other women in danger of SA and their character should definitely be questioned.
