Ezekiel Elliott is not going down without a fight. The Cowboys running back says he will appeal his six-game suspension. 
[RELATED: NFL Hands Elliott Six-Game Ban]
Elliott’s representatives released the following statement on Friday afternoon:
We just learned of the NFL’s decision to suspend Mr. Elliott for six games for allegedly engaging in ‘physical force’ against the accuser. Mr. Elliott and his team of representatives are extremely disappointed with the NFL’s decision.
Our offices have been engaged in this matter since last July and have worked hand in hand with the Columbus Prosecutor’s office as well as the NFL with their respective investigations. Accordingly, we are fully aware of the full body of evidence that exists in connection with this matter.
The NFL’s findings are replete with factual inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions and it ‘cherry picks’ so called evidence to support its conclusion while ignoring other critical evidence.
For example, both the Columbus Prosecutor’s office as well as the NFL investigators expressly concluded and conveyed to our office (and others) that the accuser was lying about an alleged July 22, 2016 incident whereby she accused Mr. Elliott of pulling her out of her car and assaulting her. An allegation that was ultimately undermined by her own friend’s affidavit which stated that no such assault occurred. The affidavit also outlined the accuser’s plan to orchestrate a story to police to in order to corroborate her false allegation of assault. In addition, the NFL’s own medical experts concluded that many of her injuries predated the week in question and likely occurred during a period of time when Mr. Elliott was not in contact with the accuser. During the upcoming weeks and through the appeal a slew of additional credible and controverting evidence will come to light.
Elliott’s battle may not stop at the league office. The running back is willing to take his appeal through the legal system, if necessary, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports (on Twitter) hears.
If Elliott does not have the suspension overturned or reduced, he will be out of action until the team’s Week 8 tilt against the Redskins on October 29th.
haha
HATER. MAD CAUSE YOU KNOW COWBOYS BOUT BE RAW THIS YEAR AND YEAR TO COME LOL
He doesn’t seem mad. why are you yelling?
Gonna say it was foreplay….
He need just to take his medicine like a good boy tell Jerry Jones to shut up

Good for him. So tired of seeing the NFL get involved in things that should be handled by the legal system. Domestic violence is terrible but none of the NFL’s business. No I don’t care what the CBA they agreed to says. The NFL needs to stay out of its players personal lives.
I’m done with the NFL. The Brady fiasco. The Elliott fiasco. The Kap fiasco. The CTE fiasco. Nothing about this league makes me want to shell out a few hundred bucks to watch this product anymore.
You’re money and fandom will be sorely missed
I’m all for discipline a player if the legal system found him guilty of a crime, but when they haven’t charged him with anything that just wrong. What happened with innocent until proven guilty. I see an appeal and lawsuit coming up !!!
So where does he get drafter in fantasy? 4th round?
I don’t think that should be the main concern here
He will appeal and not miss a game. So probably early first
If he takes this to court he will win. Period.
Why would he win when Brady lost?
McFadden Morris and rod smith can carry the load. Dak and dez will step it up
