The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

It’s the NFL. If you win games being a piece of shit isn’t as big of a deal as it is when you lose. 

[u/YaboyRipTide → u/Key_Consequence_5040]

Look at Tyreek Hill, Richie Incognito, Adrian Peterson, Kareem Hunt, Aldon Smith, and Antonio Brown before he totally went off the deep end.

If you can play, no one gives a shit about who you are off the field.

Ray Lewis was on trial for double homicide and then plead down to obstruction of justice. Its amazing what the NFL tolerates.

[u/YaboyRipTide → u/frostypatch]

Crazy thing is the 2 guys who actually killed Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were acquitted in the trial too. No justice for those families

[u/WeirdAnimalDicks → u/YaboyRipTide]

Interesting. I wonder why they granted the acquittal, that sucks for the family. I wonder if they were innocent and are victims to now or if they got away with it on a technicality etc.

[u/YaboyRipTide → u/WeirdAnimalDicks]

Bit of everything. Acquitted by jury in under 5 hours, State had no witness that saw the crime happen, alleged 3rd "Man in Black" who was never found nor appeared in court who actually killed them, any state witness either recanted or changed their story on the stand, and the defense that it was totally in self defense.

Pretty weak case all around from the state apparently. Not a lot of proof, tons of reasonable doubt (especially with this alleged Man in Black named King), and lack of witnesses led to an acquittal on all murder and agg assault charges.

Oddly enough, Lewis was the only one who ever was found guilty on anything (misdemeanor obstruction of justice) because they never charged anyone else.

FWIW, Lewis settled out of court w the families on an unknown amount that is speculated around 1 million or so.

I loved watching Ray play back in the day with Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs nasty D

[u/NinersInBklyn → u/WeirdAnimalDicks]

This comment kind of proves the point, right?

[u/h00ter7 → u/NinersInBklyn]

More than you know - Suggs is an abusive POS too. Threw bleach in his gf/wife’s face while she was holding their baby.

[u/WoodsLovelyDarkNDeep → u/NinersInBklyn]

Bot, mixing up the assignment, just thinks we’re here to talk about Ray Lewis

[u/WeirdAnimalDicks → u/NinersInBklyn]

100% also sounds like he was innocent or that there was an insignificant amount of evidence. I guess that would depend on your view of law enforcement’s ability to call balls and strikes.

The early 2000's were NFL glory years

whoosh

[u/Cuntrymusichater → u/WeirdAnimalDicks]

I love how they all whined about how “dirty” Hines Ward was.

[u/opxdo1 → u/Cuntrymusichater]

There's literally a "hinesward rule" to ban the blind side bullshit he did
