Rodgers really really likes women, and men who refuse to stand for the national anthem.

And the investigator is a women.

She was the only one that talked to accuser, Goodell and literally no one else even attempted to talk, and then they ignored her testimony and recommendation and didn't include it in the final hearing or use it as evidence.

This is beyond unfair and completely unethical.

The NFLPA just filed a restraining order to all courts to not uphold a suspension if one were to be handed out, so if Henderson doesn't overturn the suspension and doesn't make Zeke serve any punishment this is all over, if not they're going to court now with key evidence on their side and the NFL lead investigator on their side showing the NFL completely 100% fucked this up and were out to suspend him regardless of evidence and ignored their own employees and their own process of investigation and punishment.

NFL just lost this case, I can already tell, and article 46 has nothing to do with this anymore, this is the NFL breaking their own rules and fucking everything up.

>In the filing, the NFLPA alleges "there was a League-orchestrated conspiracy by senior NFL executives .... to hide critical information -- which would completely exonerate Elliott."

>According to the filing, Kia Wright Roberts, the NFL's director of investigations, testified Tuesday that she was the only NFL employee who interviewed the running back's accuser, Tiffany Thompson, during the investigation and that she would not have recommended discipline for Elliott based on what she found.

>Roberts further testified, according to the hearing transcripts, that she was not included in the part of the process where the committee that investigated the Elliott matter recommended discipline to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

>The NFLPA says Roberts concluded after reviewing all evidence that Thompson "was not credible in her allegations of abuse," according to the filing.

>"The withholding of this critical information from the disciplinary process was a momentous denial of the fundamental fairness required in every arbitration and, of course, does not satisfy federal labor law's minimal due process requirements," the union wrote.

>On top of that, the NFLPA claims, Elliott and the union were denied the rights of a fair procedure when Henderson would not grant their request to have Thompson testify. Elliott did testify at this week's appeal hearing.

>"As such, not only was Elliott denied the most fundamental rights to be able to confront his accuser and to have her credibility assessed against his, the arbitrator also rendered himself incapable of directly assessing the credibility of Thompson -- which was critical to the fairness of the proceeding," the NFLPA wrote.

>The NFLPA also questioned Henderson's refusal to have Goodell testify in the appeals hearing, saying: "Without testimony from the Commissioner, it was not possible to determine the full impact of the conspiracy, or precisely what the Commissioner knew or did not know about his co-lead investigator's conclusion that there was not sufficient credible evidence to proceed with any discipline under a League Personal Conduct Policy."

The NFL is legit losing this case now, lmao what a total fuck up.

I wish our league had an honest and ethical commissioner, like Adam Silver.

If Rodgers is better than Brady why was his SB less viewed?

Goodell just really hates niggers, especially running backs.

Holy shit Andrew Luck is a fucking bust. Colts have to move on from him as soon as possible.

He will probably be fine once he starts playing again. If he keeps getting hurt then yeah, bust.

Seahawks were in the two most viewed SBs ever

Most viewed are 51 and 49

>tfw undefeated

Luck is on a shit team, and it looks like that isnt going to change anytime soon

>NFL's lead investigator has now whistle blowed the NFL's unethical deliberation practices and jumped ship to Zeke's side saying he shouldn't have been suspended and the accuser is untrustworthy

Oh boy, rev up those court cases. I think the NFL is about to lose this one.

...

>cowgirls' desperate mental gymnastics

The woman beater will stay suspended. The NFL doesn't need the same standard of proof that the government does. It can suspend you if it wants to suspend you.

It's pretty clear he did SOMETHING. Where there's smoke, there's fire. We know he acts like a nigger based on shit like the st Patrick's day vid.

NFL has to uphold the suspension or appear as though it lets woman beaters walk.

Zeke can kick and scream all he wants, but deflategate set the precedent which is the league will win in this case as well.

Cowshits fans were all "FUCK THE CHEATRIOTS".

They will never get

>five

to make up for it.

they already have five

huh

I liked it better when you were banned

When was I banned?

Five is metaphorical. Roger that.

>The NFL doesn't need the same standard of proof that the government does

They do, it's called US labor laws you fucking retard. Article 46 is only if they meet the minimum rules of due process, which they didn't in this case as the whistle blower has confirmed.

You're ignoring the words being written in the damn articles and just posting butthurt garbage.

He still takes your emails despite the whole accidental "I just emailed 3,000 images of my cock, my bad... but what do you think about them" incident?

Where you born this dumb or did God bless you with ignorance?

>Cowshits are literally using all the same excuses the deflate gate defenders used

Will the texans finally all the weapons they have on offense this year? I really like their versatility in the slot and the backfield, coupled with talent and speed on the outside.

Tarnish the shield, you no see the field.

This is domestic violence, not deflated footballs.

It's withing the NFL's right to suspend a player for breaking their rules after due process is served in the investigation, which they did as they interviewed everyone involved and didn't withhold or ignore evidence. And it's all about sportsmanship in the first place. So the NFL is without a doubt justified in disciplining someone for breaking sports rules.

This isn't even close to being like Deflate gate, this is a real crime and they withheld evidence, didn't interview everyone involved, especially the accuser, and completely ignored compelling evidence and testimony arbitrarily without good reason, and their own lead investigator is now a whistle blower claiming the NFL didn't give due process, ignored her findings, and her recommendation that their shouldn't be a suspension when the NFL didn't have the ethical right to do this and has broken federal labor laws which supersede a CBA article.

Then why is Zeke eligible to play in Week 1 and the suspension is being delayed IF the NFL goes along with the suspension because Zeke's legal team has filed a restraining order against the NFL before the NFL could act?

You literally know nothing about this and you're just spouting dumb shit.

>implying he wont be suspended

Dumb cowshit

1st and only for /titans/

I'll see yall in January for thorough BTFOs

So if he's suspended they'll delay it and he'll be able to play during the delay because they've put a restraining order against an suspension until the law suit is settled.

True. Might as well delay the suspension since there is no risk of him missing the playoffs since they arent going as a team.

>Ignore the findings of the lead investigator, who also came to the conclusion of no suspension

>Suspend him anyway

This just blew up in the NFLs face big time. Not to mention this is going to be the hot topic of the week.

It's because the NBA uses independent investigators and arbitrators.

The NBA and MLB do it and it's completely fine, almost all cases are settled without dispute. NFL doesn't do this and always tries to control everything with cronies and corrupt officials.

>The NBA and MLB do it and it's completely fine, almost all cases are settled without dispute. NFL doesn't do this and always tries to control everything with cronies and corrupt officials.

>MLB and NBA isn't corrupt

Strawman of the highest order

You thought this would work?

MLB is not corrupt and is in fact the best run sports league in the world

Except the NFL has zero reason to obscure information on this.

>This is domestic violence, not deflated footballs

Same number of games tho.

Except the Brady case established that Roger can do whatever he wants, no questions asked

But they obviously did it and their own lead investigator has said so.

Reason doesn't matter, the fact is it happened, determining reason would be an entirely different case and we already know there's many different factions of owners in the NFL that try and push their own agenda.

It's a worse infraction. Domestic violence is also against NFL rules

Stop breaking the law.

No it didn't, that was because of Article 46. And if the NFL broke federal labor laws that doesn't matter. The NFL isn't above breaking the law dumbass. With deflategate they didn't ignore evidence and shut up their own lead investigator and ignore witness testimony.

Even making a comparison to deflategate at this point is pure ignorance of the situation.

Then what was their reason? Saying "they did it, so they must have a reason" is about as retarded as it gets. Establish motive and opportunity, then accuse.

>With deflategate they didn't ignore evidence
Wew lad. You dun goofed

But it's not sportsmanship, it's "code of conduct" and it's also against US law. If Zeke didn't break the law but the NFL suspends him based on him "supposedly" committing domestic violence while ignoring all the evidence that shows he didn't break the law/commit domestic violence that's clearly breaking federal labor laws and improper due diligence.

That doesn't disprove wither or not the balls were deflated, that was an argument made by Brady's team that deflated footballs don't give a competitive advantage, which doesn't matter. It was all about whether he and or the patriots deflated the ball or not.

>MUH IDEAL GAS LAW
This expression indicates a lack of understanding by a patsfaggot when confronted by evidence of cheating. It is usually followed with "haters" and "5".

>the 2008 Detroit Lions went 4-0 in the preseason

Reminder that Tiki has to get a sad pepe tattoo whe- if the cowshits dont win a playoff game this year.

You sure? The only reason they're railroading Zeke is to avoid the bullshit circus that happened because of Ray Rice and feminist cunts everywhere all throw a shit fit their f Zeke's suspension isn't upheld

This. The Colts stole their image with Peyton Manning and 51 nobodies. They've always been crap.

mfw The Dallas Cowboys will be the cause of Roger Goodell stepping down as Commissioner

What was their reason for refusing to let Tiffany testify? What was their reason for barring the lead investigator in on the disciplinary hearing?

There's various other reasons than that, and if that's the only reason the NFL has epically failed in such a simple matter.

The burden of proof is on them as they're the ones being accused of it in the first place, this is the reason the NFLPA filed a restraining order against the NFL before they could file anything themselves.

Justice

Thr NFL really needs to hire him to sit in at hearings and have Goodell look over at him at times just to fuck with you conspiracy nutjobs

Think we might be seeing a lockout this season over Zeke?

Because they don't have to. Goodell can literally do whatever he wants for disciplinary measures and the NFLPA gave him that power.

>domestic violence should not be punished

>that flag
oh that sweet irony

There's no question, unless the NFL bends over and gives into to NFLPA.

>Drastic difference in suspensions and proceedings between Elliot, a Dallas Cowboy, and Brown, a New York Giant.
>NFL commission stationed in New York
>NFL commissioner and his staff have regular contact and personal relationships with the Giant's owner and management.
>All proof of bias and aversion to justice listed

Yes the NFL Commission is a completely faultless entity. That's why they are fully allowed to circumvent the rule of law and constitutional rights

Not if he breaks federal labor laws, you're ignoring the second and third post in this thread and various other people making this point.

You are grossly overestimating how much people outside of Dallas care

if the NFL overturns the Zeke suspension, it's proof that the league is morally bankrupt.

If the NFL would rather earn money on an established woman-beater just because their white trash audience happens to enjoy circlejerking over him, they deserves any and all negative press that they receive.

You're grossly uneducated on this subject and how relevant it's been to the NFLPA and NFL and how this isn't just abut the Cowboys or even Zeke and it's relevance to the struggle between the NFLPA and the NFL.

If they overturn it, it shows the NFL has recognized they fucked up and are not morally bankrupt as they really do care about justice and doing the right thing by their players.

This

>as they really do care about justice and doing the right thing by their players.

They already proved that they do by suspending that useless waste of oxygen for 6 games (wasn't even enough tbqh). Now they're on the verge of giving in to the demands of people who, for some reason, think they know better. That's the problem with our society, people bitching and moaning until they get what they want. Shameful.

>boo hoo he's a woman beater
Proofs? Or do you just believe any lying whore?

>established woman-beater
I believe some proofs are in order

>boo hoo he's not a woman beater
Proofs? Or do you just believe any lying criminal just because they play for your favorite team and/or help your fantasy team?

September 1st 2017. The day Sup Forums sided with a nigger over a woman.

Im just glad moot isnt alive to see this shameful day...

>siding with lying psycho coal burners

LMAO

You're a fucking cuck

Here's your "proofs" by the way

>inb4 fake news bcuz i dun liek it D:

The amount of damage control shilling for the NFL itt is delicious. Roger goofel resignation when lads?

don't you have a sister to fuck or a flood to drown in, texas?

It's about the truth, not sides

I'm sorry but even if you're a raging retard of a Sup Forums fag there's literally no reason to side against Zeke in this case when all the evidence proves he's innocent and the women is fucking insane.

This isn't even about team vs team anymore, this is straight up men vs women and their nu-male cuck slaves.

These retarded nu-male tripfags need to be gassed.

>siding with a woman over a man

>literally no evidence to support he is a woman beater
Where is your proofs?

Those are bruises from when she had a bar fight not because of Zeke

Times have changed. Sup Forums has always done it for the lulz. There's just more lulz nowadays in denying liberals a "domestic violence opportunity" than "not supporting a nigger because he's a nigger" opportunity.

That's not how it works, you beta orbiting retard. You made the claims first, you have to back it up. Proofs or fuck off.

Multiple witness testimony refutes these injuries happened in the time frame which she claims they happened as well as they happened after the fact when she no longer had contact with Zeke anymore. She also started a fight with a women in the past and has a history of getting into fights with other women.

>tmz.com
definitely no bias there.

This

>i've changed my ideology and stance on issues like domestic violence because my culture says i have to

what's it like being an easily-influenced drone?

>Those are bruises from when she had a bar fight not because of Zeke
proof?

There is plenty of proofs he didn't do it as is evident of the testimony and how Tiffany lied multiple times.

Where is your proofs he did it? There isn't any because they've all been debunked

>thinking the NFL will overturn the suspension

HA! First, the NFL will keep him suspended for the pulling the girls top down situation; second, remember Big Ben? He was acquitted and STILL got suspended.

The NFL does not care about what can be proven, but what's more-likely -- or whatever stupid measurement they use.

Put your flag back on, Canada.
>the accused needs to prove his innocence in my arbitrary kangaroo court of feelings
Post yfw this guy is pinko commie scum

>This thread

Except in our society you actually have to prove someone did something to punish them. This case would never hold up in court and is some bitch just trying to get money and attention. As such zeke will be freed or the nfl will be sued and lose. Evidence is always the great truth.

>commie

you say that like it's a bad thing :)

How about them Rams
