News: BR: Ezekiel Elliott, NFLPA Reportedly Have No Interest in Suspension Reduction Talks

[Sandyf]

Reduction to 1 game with pay for the issue involving pulling down a female bra..........yes that mean EVERYTHING about the DV issues is forgotten and never mention again

Can't happen, NFL already stated there would be no punishment for the parade issue and bar issue, those are now moot points and can't be bought back up.

You would be correct on that, but I would say that is a load of BS. Making a "racial" joke seems to be acceptable, but what Cam said was not? Just seems rather odd. IMO

Actually what Cam said was not hurtful or meant to degrade. The problem is he singled her comments out coz she was female speaking about a male-dominated sport. I'm not sure he even said, he didn't she knew what she was talking about. He simply said it was odd hearing a female talk about routes. Not to put words in his mouth but wouldn't surprise me at all if privately he was actually impressed.

I read what Cam said and didn't even think about it... I was like wow he was impressed... I don't think he any ill intent at all, but my point is even if he was joking he has become a villain while this lady and her racist "jokes" are ok, because well they're "jokes".

He used the word "funny" twice.

I can't think of a time I've been impressed and used the word funny instead.

He wasn't trying to do her any favors.

Actually not sure if you mean your wording as posted but to be honest Cam was/is a pretty strong villain is eyes of many fans lone BEFORE the lady you're referencing made her comments. Whether its the on-field personal or Mr. GQ, he's rubbed a ton to fans and media people the wrong way.

I am referring to just this incident

Fair enough, but do you think the comments were hurtful and/or malicious?

Oh Ok ....... (LOL)

Are we sure the NFL has officially set this aside or we talking about various reports?

I think the comments were a bit dismissive.

She was trying to do her job and he basically said, "Aww, isn't that cute". She has to stand up for herself in that situation and she did, I just don't think I agree with blasting it all over social media after the fact.

There are journalists in war zones that deal with that and worse without having to resort to reporting it via social media.

It was in their decision that they sent out. Word for word bud.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I would fight this all the way to the end because if Zeke wins, Goodell and has BS bully tactics should cease and could spell the end of him.

 

[mmohican29]

I've been thinking Zeke had < 10% of getting out of this without a 6 game suspension but the recent judge statement has me believing Zeke's chances are closer to 40%.

If I were Zeke, no way would I accept a deal that didn't include an apology from the league and removal of the person whom called Zeke a 'woman beater'.

I think the odds are now in Ezekiel's favor to beat this thing outright.

Three of three judges agree that there are major issues with fundamental fairness- and objectively- how could they not?

- the league's lead investigator's opinion was silenced
- the league's DV chieftain was the one who silenced this opinion
- Goodell has claimed he was not privy to the opinions of the "unbiased panel" before ruling

This was 100% about PR and using a Dallas Cowboys superstar as an example, to the delight of a NY Giants season ticket holder and ownerships across the NFL who still carry an anti- Jerry Jones bias, despite his business acumen proven a winning strategy for the NFL. And making them all uniformly fabulously wealthy in the process.

Zeke will collect more NFL $ from a future settlement than he ever will carrying the ball in the NFL.

I agree. I don't think Cam considered his words but they did come off as demeaning a bit. I think he meant it complimentary but you just can't go there in this PC world we live in today.

 

[Zordon]

Why are some of you so accepting of a punishment for the St. Patrick's Day thing? You guys realize that's an average weekend for Gronk?

 

[erod]

According to Adam Schefter, this is a fabricated story, and the NFL has no interest in settling.

 

[TheHerd]

I thought their decision just said the current suspension is only abut the dv incident and not the other stuff.

I don't think the league actually said those incidents are off the table

 

[DiResta]

On Thursday, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram cited sources close to the Ohio State product and the NFLPA, noting they have "no interest or knowledge of settlement talks" and are instead "fighting to clear his name, not just cut games."

Hill's report comes after David Moore of the Dallas Morning News cited sources who said Elliott's side and the NFL "have discussed the possibility of a settlement." Moore noted "there has been dialogue behind the scenes, one source asserts, after each court ruling along the way."

..

so as expected by many i seen
Moore made up the thing to get clicks
people jumped all over it believing and still debating

Moore made it up people

 

[cowboy_ron]

It was like he had a verbal tic yesterday......... he just kept repeating "issues and communities" without saying anything of substance

He's like Jerry......he can speak a hundred words and not say anything.

Why don't you just educate yourself, instead of assuming and read the decision levied, in full by the NFL.
They include the incident you talk about and exonerate him from said actions.
It's all there by the NFL.

Knowledge is power homie.
