Whats good for the Cowboys is good for the league. But I can see where some might be feeling some joy in Jerry’s struggles. Jerry does continue to press when it comes to his suspended players . I keep hoping he’s going to cross the line like Donald Sterling did and finally rid us of his self centered egotistical ways of running our beloved franchise.
Remember, Elliott brought this on himself. And then while being investigated continued with questionable conduct. Now whether it all is worthy of a 6 game suspension is debatable but it’s not like the rest of the NFL fabricated Elliott’s behavior.
I am not here to tell you that Zeke is a saint,or a Mensa member.By all accounts,Zeke may be a mouth breather,a complete idiot.
But this case is 100% grounded on his dealings and alleged incidents with the alleged accuser.
Article 46 gives the commissioner broad powers to impose penalties,but it does not gives him the power to abuse them.
There is a mountain of evidence(electronic communications,witnesses affidavits,and clear intent to harm by alleged victim) that led the chief investigator for the NFL(Kia Roberts) to advice Goodell against suspending Elliott.Goodell ignored every and all evidence presented to him because Article 46 gave him broad powers to suspend players as he wished.Yes,DM is a serious matter and has to be dealt with swiftly,but you have to have a slam dunk case.
I mentioned a while back that this was not a case about tampering with NFL equipment,or an on field misconduct.
This is about accusing a man of battering a woman.
You just don't wash that one out.Your income potential is diminished.You are permanently labeled and shunned.
Jerry Jones is correct.
Zeke is the victim of over correction.Goodell is still trying to make up for the Ray Rice fiasco in 2014.
Goodell KNEW what happened in that elevator.Rice and his now wife met with Goodell and disclosed every single detail of that despicable
incident.Goodell went on to suspend Rice for 2 games fully knowing what had happened.
The NFL had the tape of the incident,they chose to play dumb.
Gather all that info and tell me Zeke does not have a multi million lawsuit against the NFL.
