Ezekiel Elliott‘s fight is officially on. The Cowboys running back formally appealed his six-game ban on Tuesday, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter) reports.
Elliott’s appeal will underscore elements of the alleged victim’s testimony that may have been incomplete or purposely misleading. The NFL has acknowledged some inconsistencies in Tiffany Thompson’s story, but investigators say they have incontrovertible evidence of abuse.
If Elliott does not have the suspension overturned or reduced, he will be sidelined until the team’s Week 8 game against the Redskins on October 29th (the Cowboys have a Week 6 bye). That would leave the Cowboys without their best offensive weapon versus the Giants, Broncos, Cardinals, Rams, Packers, and 49ers.
Elliott will have the assistance of the NFLPA as he looks to have his suspension overturned or reduced.
“the assistance of the NFLPA”
LOL!!!!
Worst PA in all of sports
Why? Just wait till half the year oh well screw the cowboys
We already got screwed! Zeke 6 games?
More like screw Goodell!
Gee, a year to file/investigate discipline …. appeal results in a week ( likely already decided).
If it gets reduced absolute bullshit. After the NFL made domestic violence less of an issue then deflating a football with ray rice greg hardy and tom Brady NFL needs to prove there above domestic violence this will set the stage for any more players thinking there above the law. Why not do whatever the fuck you want as an NFL star knowing you’ll get minimal punishment for things the average person would go to jail for. Iv lost more respect for the NFL since goodell tookover then I thought was possible. Taught me a sport is what it is based on the commish.
Did he actually do it though? Because the police didn’t think so
Using term fight in a domestic abuse case is lame. Bruises don’t lie, lawyers do
Blue markers bro
