skibum Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 How does the NFL have the right to interview his accuser? They don't have any legal jurisdiction. Not sticking up for AB at all here, but this kind of stuff just blows my mind - that the NFL can conduct its own investigation of something as serious as rape, and that apparently because this is a civil case, they could go with whatever conclusion they want. And why a civil suit; why aren't the police involved? This whole thing is so bizarre to me. It's like law and order goes out the window when a famous athlete is involved.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 40 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: The NFL has never placed anyone on the exempt list as the result of a civil suit only. I did not realize that, actually. If they're being consistent here I'm OK with it. I know that players have been disciplined or suspended as the result of a civil suit or even behavior in the absence of criminal charges. 7 minutes ago, blacklabel said: I hope a rhinoceros takes a dump in his precious little helmet. This is marvelous. It deserves to be preserved and added to the English language as an insult. However, Folks: I enquired of Mr Google, and the memes of rhinoceros poo that showed up were too much for my delicate eyeballs. So let's not and say we didn't 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume she volunteered to talk. 2) That was her choice to file a civil suit. The police are not involved because she never reported it to the police. Depending upon what comes out some DA might take it upon themselves to look into it. 3) The entire thing is bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL has a right to interview whoever they please. What they do not have outside of court is subpoena power. If the accuser didn’t wish to talk to the NFL, she would not have to. You could go out tomorrow and conduct your own investigation as well. The NFL then has the power to suspend employees under its personal conduct policy because they are employees working under the personal conduct policy. The police aren’t involved because that’s not the avenue the accuser took. Perhaps she knew she didn’t have enough evidence or waited too long. Antonio Brown is in absolutely zero danger of ever going to prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Brown is in absolutely zero danger of ever going to prison. I agree with everything up until the bolded point which i think is dead wrong. Depending upon what comes out he could absolutely be in jeopardy of jail time, statue of limitations on rape is, state by state and i believe the minimum of any state is three years. I highly doubt all the relevant intel has been disclosed in the lawsuit, she might have some very powerful evidence against him. Some press hungry DA is not going to sit back and not jump on an opportunity to be a hero in a case like this, in fact they have a duty to pursue if they think a they can prove a crime and a conviction is possible.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats are the NFL's made team. People who think Goodell is out to get the Pats are morons. Kraft only went to that massage spa because Roger was busy. yup and just for all the other sh*t that AB pulled on the Raiders should have put him on the list. #TRUETHAT #FUKDAPATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Two possible scenarios as to why she would cooperate w/ the NFL. 1) The claims have minimal merit & she's just doing it to "spite" AB. 2) The claims are legit & she is then using the NFL and it's considerable resources to substantiate her claims gratis.

plenzmd1 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I still think, as I said the day she said she will meet with the NFL next week,,he will be on the 53 but not active this week. Based on her interview, and evidence, and what i am assuming the interview with AB and I am guessing his evidence, they will make a determination abot exemption list next week once they have a better feel for which way this is going to go, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
