News: PFT: Federal judge reinstates Ezekiel Elliott suspension

[Bigdog]

Honestly, if I ran in Goddell's circles I would claim he sexually assaulted me so he would be suspended.

And you might get some money

No, what she is basically saying is, "Football is for angry violent evil men. You are one of them. This anti-abuse thing the NFL PR dept is peddling is important, and your team still gets to play, so it's not like you're negatively impacted at all. Besides, your're an evil angry man like I pointed out before, so you'd deserve it anyway if you were."

The judge didn't say anything of the sort. She said "the proceedings...accorded with CBA and the PCP."

Sucks, but what can we do? The NFLPA sold their souls in exchange for a little more money and fewer practice days. This is the result.

I guess you missed all her comments?

So I wonder how a ruling such as this will play into the players "Social Injustice" claim? Anyone who has taken the time to understand the facts of this case can clearly see Zeke got railroaded. I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire team rally around Zeke in some form or fashion. I don't agree with any protests involving the Anthem but I think something needs to be done.

 

[coogrfan]

Yea because victim blaming has always shown to be the best way forward.
Let’s not blame the people who commit acts of evil. Let’s blame the victims for allowing them to abuse the power and trust you gave them.

What a philosophy.

Wait...what? The NFLPA is not a victim here. They didn't have to give the league virtually unfettered power to discipline the players. They foolishly chose to do so.

 

[bsbellomy]

I can accept logical reasonable arguments, but when the judge is making a case like she is a damn NFL employee that's just wrong.

They can show a picture of Goodell on the Jumbotron and every player can give it the finger.

Exactly and SI agrees with you. De Smith was just re-elected just like Goodell will be. They will complete the likely demise of the NFL over the next 5 years.

Yep. The NFLPA is so weak. I don't get it. They have way more power and leverage than they think but they fear the owners and want that paycheck. But the NFL would not survive without the all world talent of those players. Replacement players won't work and didn't work. People don't tune in and pay money to see random guys play the sport. They can watch that at the local pick up games. They watch to see the best in the world. Those players go away, the owners have nothing in the end. But like you said, the players re-elect the clown that signed them the horrible CBA back in 2011. It was a game of chicken and the players blinked way too fast. Sometimes it takes an actual strike to make it work. Where you actually lose regular season games. Every sport has did it. NBA twice in my lifetime. NHL missed a whole season. NFL back in the 80s. Something needs to change. They can't let this clown Goodell have all this power.

I'm reading the opinion. Anybody who thought she would rule otherwise was kidding themselves.

 

[Beats_By_Zeke]

Booooooo

 

[superonyx]

This has got to be the dumbest "reasoning" I've ever read. Since when does PR outweigh justice provided by the courts and a man's innocence?

My God, this whole thing is a travesty. A kangaroo court.

This is a scary statement to hear a judge make regardless of Zeke and this case.
An actual judge seriously saying that a corporations public relations efforts outweigh an actual persons rights and pursuit of justice...

This persons has no business as a judge in this country.

Everybody thought she would. Now they realize she is a bias nutjob without an ability to reason.

Them giving the league the power and trust to be fair doesn’t exclude them from being the victim when the league chooses to violate the nature of the rules and trust given in an effort to cover for their past PR blunders.

You can’t be serious.

She's biased because she ruled that the CBA means what is says?

A Yankee woman during Domestic Violence Month......never had a chance

She probably adopted a child with Lisa Friel

She made no case... thats' the #1 issue.

Afraid I am.

"While reasonable minds could differ on the evidentiary decisions made by the arbitrator, the proceedings in their totality accorded with the CBA and the PCP - and, to the extent such an inquiry applies, with precepts of fundamental fairness".

Another ruined season. Sabotaged by the league itself. They just slaughtered their cash cow and no-one cares.

Cowboy fans have no right to football enjoyment anymore.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Welp, it is what it is....................this entire season smells like a hard boiled egg fart anyway.....I'm half tired of this season already.........the division is looking as weak as it has in many years.
