Zeke suspension was a joke and one of the worst rulings in league history, the lead investigator found no reason for Zeke to be suspended.
NFL lead investigator Kia Roberts testified this week that she recommended that Elliott not be suspended for his alleged domestic violence incidence.
Not only did Roberts play a key role in the Elliott case, but she was the only NFL employee who spoke to Elliott's accuser, Tiffany Thompson, during the 13-month investigation.
Using findings from Roberts' investigation, the NFL
decided to give Elliott a six-game suspension. In the league's final report on the Elliott investigation, which was released on August 11, the NFL justified Elliott's suspension by mentioning that he had caused injuries to Thompson on at least three occasions.
Why 6 games for Ezekiel Elliott? NFL investigators say he "caused injuries" to his ex-girlfriend 3 times in 5 days

However, Roberts, who was the only person to speak with Thompson, pointed out during her testimony during the appeal this week that she was never consulted about Elliott's suspension or even asked to make a recommendation, which would have been zero games.
