JoPoy88 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Donald’s probably the last person on earth any sane individual would want to get in a fight with. I know the other guy was also pretty big, but you’re definitely taking an L regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hap, it s not after 2am, it’s midnight is what I was taught. I hate being out that late and forget about driving home. You take you’re life into you’re own hands at that hour. I don’t care what the guy did as I don’t doubt he provoked Donald, but he shouldn’t hit him even once. Donald easily could’ve shoved him back (god knows he throws guards around like rag dolls and those guys are over 300 lbs.) and left the bar calling the police. Im making a lot of assumptions, but both in a perfect world are charged with assault and battery and the other guy does not get a payout if he started it. I don’t know if the NFL would suspend him for the act, but I’m sure they’ll do their own investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 article on this https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31256498/lawyer-seeks-assault-charges-los-angeles-rams-star-aaron-donald-reports-say Quote Attorney Todd J. Hollis said his client, De'Vincent Spriggs, needed 16 stitches and suffered a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, a concussion and a sprained or broken arm. The alleged attack occurred around 3 a.m. Sunday, Hollis said, and the attorney released a photo that showed Spriggs with facial injuries and swelling. Apparently either the police weren't called or declined to make arrests/pursue charges, so the guy retained an attorney who filed a complaint on his behalf: Quote An attorney filed a criminal complaint against Los Angeles Rams pass-rusher Aaron Donald with Pittsburgh police on Wednesday, saying the defensive tackle and others assaulted his 26-year-old client at an after-hours club last weekend. His story is that his client was attacked outside the club: Quote According to Hollis, Spriggs inadvertently bumped into Donald and an incident ensued inside the Boom Boom Room nightclub that caused both parties to be asked to leave. "When they got outside, Mr. Donald approached Mr. Spriggs and Mr. Spriggs was punched and attacked, again allegedly, by Mr. Donald and the individuals that were a part of his group," Hollis told ESPN. Quote Pittsburgh police said that detectives are reviewing the complaint and video footage and are consulting with the District Attorney's office to determine whether charges are warranted. I imagine the next step will be a civil lawsuit, after the DA looks at the evidence and says "yeah, nothing good happens after midnight, nothing to see here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm not saying this is what happened. I'm not victim shaming here. But if I rep'd some of these players - I'd be telling them that they should EXPECT to be targeted. There are people out there that will realize who you are and goad you into beating the ***** out of them. They may "deserve" it. But they know what they're doing. They're *trying* to get beat up. Because they know - it might suck in the short term. But in the long term, they're going to get a BIG civil settlement and become rich off it. Just understand it for what it is, laugh it off, and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the real insane person here is Donald, for getting suckered into this situation when he should be way above this type of stuff. Someone bumps you and spills your drink? Laugh in their face and buy a round for the entire bar. THAT is the alpha move. Fighting is win-win for the guy and lose-lose for Donald(or any pro athlete for that matter). Guy wins the fight, he gets to say he beat up Aaron Donald. Guy loses the fight, he goes after some of Donald's $135M. Donald wins fight, no one cares. You're a pro football player, of course you can beat someone up. You look like a bully. Enjoy your lawsuit. Donald loses the fight, looks like a wuss. I remember running into Rob Ray at the Pier back in the day and we chatted for a bit. And then he was like (paraphrasing) "Ok, time for me to go. There's enough drunk people here where someone is about to pick a fight with me, and there's no good outcome for me." Apparently, being famous for being a fighter is a real pain in the ass when you want to go to a bar, because every drunk idiot wants a "shot at the title", and no matter what happens the pro athlete has nothing to win and always loses in someway. 15 minutes ago, aristocrat said: Well this certainly changes everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Picture this: This gentleman holds a press conference to admit that he lied about Donald. As his confession comes to a close the floor suddenly gives out and he falls through a trap door into a dark slide tunnel. He falls, yelling on the way down, and lands on a soft surface in the dark. He yells out asking what’s happening and a voice comes over a PA system “lies have consequences mr. *insert name*. The consequence of this lie is that the lie comes true...” the lights come on and he finds himself in an octagon, he frantically gets to his feet and turns around to see Aaron Donald wearing boxing shorts and cracking his neck. the camera pans outside to the sound of a grown man screaming a high pitched scream.

Attorney says client mistook Rams' Aaron Donald for attacker, apologizes https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31273196/attorney-says-client-mistook-rams-aaron-donald-attacker-apologizes Quote White said they have obtained at least five witness accounts and have others who have come forward willing to provide statements. White also said that video surveillance from the area did not show Donald assaulting Spriggs and that Donald eventually helped pull people away from Spriggs. Quote "Aaron actually runs over to [Spriggs'] aid and starts pulling people off of this guy," White said. "He's trying to get these kids off Spriggs. He gets at least two or three people off of Spriggs, and at that point in time, somebody grabs Aaron and says, 'This is not a good situation, let's get the heck out of here.'" Good guy, smart friend.
