I don;t use the ignore function. Never have never will. I put the smilie there to show you I was kidding. I'm a big boy...I can handle internet bullies.
So if'd you'd do me a favor...list all the things Zeke has done that makes you think he is a terrible human being. So you know...I do NOT think of athletes as my moral heroes. I do not expect them to break laws, especially violence ones. You would have never made it as a 60's and early 70's cowboys fan. They even made a movie about them. Pulling up a willing females shirt was angelic back then.
I get that but for me it’s the stupidity of it all. We live in a different society now, like it or not. Personally, I think people are way too sensitive but that doesn’t mean I can do whatever I want. I’ve had to change my actions at work and in public due to my job, as have most of us in one way or another. What used to be considered acceptable isn’t any more. Laws have changed as have the NFL’s rules, inconsistent or not, like them or not, we and they have to change the way they act in public or in private if there are people taking pictures, videos, etc. I was talking to a guy yesterday who is on our interview board and he said the first thing he does when he gets the list of names, before even interviewing the person, is going straight to their FB page, Instagram, etc. This is as social media as I get, I’ve never had a FB account nor will ever partly due to those reasons.
Having said that, pulling up a girls shirt in public during a parade may not be a big deal. Pulling up a girls shirt during a parade, whether she did it herself before hand or not, during the
#MeToo craze and while being investigated by the NFL for domestic violence against a woman (innocent or not) and while being a high profile athlete is just plain friggin stupid. What a moron. Are you kidding? Whether you agree or not, whether I agree or not...athletes are held to higher standards and this was just plain dumb for so many reasons. It goes a lot deeper than just “he pulled up a girls shirt”.
Then you have the first nightclub incident in Dallas, after he was suspended for DV and he knocks out a DJ?! Please spare me the “we don’t know if he did it”. I, and a few other people who know or knew people who worked at or with the club have been told by those people he 100% did do it. If you look at all the bs surrounding it, it’s clearly obvious. That’s like saying OBJ didn’t have coke in front of him in that video...please. Do I think he should have been suspended for it...no. There was no clear evidence from what we saw but all the people who claim the NFL is out to get Zeke, the NFL could have easily investigated this and it could have resulted in him being suspended for a year or more but they didn’t. Same goes for the parade incident. So he knocked someone out...not a huge deal, I’ve been arrested for fighting once but as an NFL athlete and under his circumstances it was just DUMB. He’s a dumb diva...a DD.
Then you have another incident in Vegas, after the first nightclub incident, in which he went after another DJ and his own teammates had to restrain him, he ended up being permanently banned.
Then you have the security guard incident. Did he shove him? No. But yet again, with his prior history he turned around and initiated physical contact with someone. A nudge, a push, a punch...I don’t care, he should have walked away. He’s out in public, clearly altered, with people filming and this is what he does? He also kept standing in the way of his date who was trying to leave...not a good look for someone just suspended for DV against a woman.
Then you have him holding out with 2 years left on his contract and demanding to be paid as the highest RB ever. There’s all this hate against Dak but a lot lf those same people had no problem with The Ewok holding out.
He’s an entitled brat bully diva who has always been in the most fortunate of circumstances and is used to getting what he wants. His selfish actions could not only potentially hurt him but could have easily hurt the team as well which is what I have a problem with. I don’t care what happens to him, I hope some day he crosses the wrong person and gets what’s coming to him, that’s the only way these dumb bullies learn their lesson. It’s sickening people support this dbag no matter what he does just because he’s a Cowboy.
