Easy big fella, defending yourself could lead to further suspensions :laugh:

The only thing elliott could sue about is defamation of character, lol, and he has done that himself lol.
Lets see , he beats up girls, skinny security guards, DJ's, and trains his dogs to attack pool cleaners ! :lmao:

The only question is what is his next stunt going to be?? :thumbup:

Remember...it’s never his fault.

He can’t even stay at home and stay out of the headlines. How hard is it to shut your yapper on social media?

I love how he walks into a pot store in 2016 IIRC, admitted to doing a lot of drugs in college, says he’s faded which means high by every definition I’ve read but now wants to sue for someone saying he’s high?! This just keeps getting better.

And why would the same people that say “who cares if he was high, they can smoke weed now” be offended that Sports Illustrated said he was high if it’s not such a big deal?

So if someone said I was drunk on social media after I said I was krunked (but I really didn’t mean drunk) then so what?

In the popular song Drank (Swimming Pools) by Compton hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar, one of the most listened to musicians on the planet, he uses the term “faded” multiple times throughout the chorus specifically as a reference to alcohol.

Let’s not pretend that just because some people on this forum haven’t heard it used as a reference to alcohol means Elliott is lying.

SI has apologized for the mistake and corrected it, so that will be as far as it goes.

He should hurry up and take a drug test to further his claim of being drug free.

Hell no, he shouldn't. SI doesn't determine if he can play and earn a paycheck. He should say nothing. At worst, he should find a good lawyer and let everything work itself out.

Some seem unable to assume the worst with Elliott no matter what. I don't really get that. I guess they simply don't like him so their natural instinct is to criticize.

And 95% of the time it’s used in reference to being high or being high while drunk, especially “low key faded” so let’s not act like zeke doesn’t smoke weed or wasn’t high.

As jus supporters pointed out earlier today, so what? Who cares if he was high, it’s “legal” in the NFL. Apparently zeke does which is hilarious considering everything he’s done to ruin his own image, which included walking into a weed store his rookie year and admitting he liked to party and do a lot of drugs in college.

Now it’s not people making a big deal out of it, it’s him, which is hilariously awesome. Threatening to sue SI probably just brought 10x more attention to himself than had he just let the article be.

Lol “defamation of character”, he’s done nothing but defame his own character since college. DJ Train should have sued him for defamation of his face and then zeke would probably whine on social media that people’s just sue because they want other people’s hard earned money.

I figured he would do this. But he has got to be careful what he does and says. Don’t help when he does dumb things. Why was he live streaming anyways.

fivetwos · Jun 30, 2020

What an upstanding citizen.

Shame on me for not liking him personally.

At least he is an elite player. Oh wait, whoops.

Come on folks...tell me about all the YARDS.

He ought to tap out of social media altogether. We know he knows how to do that in critical spots.

I especially love how he is all over every media outlet, then says things like "I didnt realize" such and such would happen.

Moron. Cant be gone fast enough.

Cant wait until the day comes when the Browns are all excited to have this guy.

Respected journalists should not have assumed that he meant he was high on dope just because he used the word faded. We're taught not to assume anything. Elliott was right to call SI out for that.

SI laid off all their journalists for online publication. They're basically SB Nation.

cowboyed · Jun 30, 2020

This word meaning insinuation crap is ridiculous. Why not take it a step further SI. So if Zeke wears faded jeans they are not hemmed but hemped. If they are stone-washed he must be adding peyote to the laundry detergent.

He’s a choir boy compared to some of those guys on the 90s Super Bowl teams

Ezekiel Elliott threatens to sue Sports Illustrated over weed story controversy

To be blunt, Ezekiel Elliott is furious. The Dallas Cowboys star running back threatened to sue Sports Illustrated on Monday after the famed magazine ran a column online with the headline, Ezekiel

Another case of the idiot boy being an idiot. Have fun wasting the money you just stole from the Cowboys. That makes two lawsuits in two weeks. Looks like everyone else is getting sick and tired of Zeke Idiot.

Please drop this punk on the sidewalk in two years Jerry!!!!!

The ONLY thing I envy about the ewok is he can smoke weed now and not lose his job, I can.

And I’m not big on sins if you know what I mean so I’m not too worried about it.

Lol!!! You don't worry about your sins, but you worry about someone else's. Ok, got it.

My sins don’t effect the team, do they? That’s news to me!

As soon as ewok doesn’t play for the Cowboys I couldn’t care less what he does. Funny how some fans here care more about what players do from other teams than their own (ie Odiva).

I don't worry about any of them. If they're on the field I root for them, if they're not? Meh.

Bullflop · Jun 30, 2020

LOL -- "back in the day," I had a girl friend who had a funny word for being stoned and drunk -- she called it being "stunk." True stuff.

Whyjerry · Jun 30, 2020

Next up on the Embarrassing Running Back Chronicles...Zeke sues SI for reporting. Last week’s episode recap saw Zeke taking to the internet to blast victims of a dog attack...

Someone please take his Twitter away!
