I'm honestly a little torn here. I never thought the suspension would happen UNLESS the NFL had more evidence then what we were aware of. As far as we know, it's just the metadata which may or may not support the accusers theory depending on how one views it. I'll preface this by saying I think there is a little half truth to these accusations and here's my issue with some of the arguments I'm seeing.
There's no doubt this chick is whacked but does it automatically excuse her accusations due to her threat of blackmailing? On the surface I would like to think it does and that's where it gets tough for me. If people are going to use her texts and "character" as the reason for proof that she lied about being hit then wouldn't it only be fair to bring up the same points with Zeke?
If Zeke had kept his nose clean throughout college and especially while he knew he was under investigation I would be much more prone to not believe her but that's not the case. For all the blind Zeke supporters, will you admit that Zeke was indeed taking drugs since he texted about beating a drug test? Or are you going to let that one slide? What about several people saying he took drugs in college? Are you going to disregard them as well? What about the bar instance? Do you really, truly believe he had nothing to do with that only because for some INSANE reason no one at a crowded night club, including the victim, saw anything and/or can't be found? Notice how Dak was there as well but his name never even came up, only Zeke AGAIN. I won't bring up the exposing breast incident since there is actual footage yet instead of proclaiming his innocence some people just chalk it up to "he's young" and not guilty of anything.
The point is, is it not fair to question Zeke's character and his testimony as well? If you don't think it's fair please just admit you're a hypocrite and will never admit to Zeke doing anything wrong until he's no longer wearing the Star and then the hate for him will flow.
Having said all of that, I really don't know what to think. The NFL and Goodell are a joke and this chick is nuttier than a pecan pie but so is Zeke. I'm glad it's not up to me but I'll guess it will be reduced to either zero games to 3 max. Either way, Zeke best get his act together, if this isn't a wake up call I don't know what is.
Can't wait for the hate, I almost didn't type this but at least I'm being honest and open.
