YoloinOhio Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 @adamschefter NFLPA contends Kia Roberts told Lisa Friel of her views, but was not allowed to convey them to Roger Goodell nor the "independent advisors." Opening for Elliott? NFL investigator Kia Roberts recommended no suspension & was barred from a meeting where discipline was discussed. http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article170603722.html Kia Roberts was in charge of fact gathering and was the only one one to talk to Tiffany Thompson.

eball Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 This article is eye-opening. An awful look for the NFL. They just simply can't get out of their own way with these disciplinary matters. It's really unbelievable. I predict a reduction in suspension to 2-3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racecitybills Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The same people who would be RIPPING the NFL for doing nothing on a domestic violence report are now RIPPING them about the "process" and the investigation. The NFLPA is now defending the potential abuser while the NFL is taking action against the potential abuser. Can you imagine if the NFL did nothing????????? Wow - a little consistency people!

It's not about consistency because each case should be judged on its own merits. @RapSheet Here is the link to petition to vacation the arbitration filed by #Cowboys RB Zeke Elliott’s legal team last night: http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2017/09/01/0ap3000000838457.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Did the NFL mention the night club assault and the pulling the top off the girl on the float? If they did I think it would help their case. Zeke needs a little pull back so he can have a nice long career and not fade off like a PAC man.

Then you have the messages she sent him about "No one will believe you because you are black" type . To me, and this is just my opinion, she has been holding this over his head for extortion/blackmail type purposes. Then you have that Dick-tator Goodell come along and try to pull some bs. Has he made some dumb decision early in his career? Most definitely, but I think she is not legit. That's jmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's completely innocent. I was told that she lied about a pregnancy at one point. If she did then it doesn't help her credibility, but, it also doesn't mean he never hit her. That's the hard part. Personally I think they are both crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think they are both crazy. I know and this is a touchy subject. Some of the things she has said make me question the authenticity of her statements. I do agree they are both a bit off. Domestic violence is wrong at any level. It's something that has been a problem for a long time, men who don't have that conviction to keep their hands off of a woman in that manner. And you're correct, he may have put his hands on her. If he did then he deserves what he gets. It's just I think this is more about a jilted ex than something that happened between them.

row_33 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 This is what happens when you give 100% dictatorial powers to a Commissioner. If he goes overboard too much you can appeal or go to the courts or get the Commish dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
