OT- Ezekiel Elliott Suspected of Domestic Violence
http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/22/ezekiel-elliott-accused-of-domestic-viole…
Sorry for linking TMZ, but this is a very troubling accusation, especially if the accusations are true and it has been going on for months.
EDIT: Apparently the Cowboys do not think the alleged abuse occured, and Ezekiel Elliott reportedly has messages of the accuser planning on setting him up.
Although, given good ol' Uncle Urbz' history over the years would it be surprising?
Meyer has a history of abusing his wife and/or encouraging his players to abuse their significant others? I wasn't aware of this.
He's obviously referring to the "circle of trust" down in FL where key players were allowed to get away with all sorts of bad behavior. At this point, we don't have any info that suggests Urban knew about this, but if he did and ignored it, it would obviously be very troubling.
I just have really bad luck with my players turning in to criminals, murderers, and a general danger to society.
THis has nothing to do with my characer, guidance, or general values....nothing to do with how I mold young college men in to responsible adults.
Nope, nothing to see here. BTW, would you like to join my circle of trust?
**good ones anyway
he is a well known cheat who racked up those Florida co-eds, so there's that.
Aside from him being a rival, this kind of stuff if just sick. Any woman deserves an actual gentle man.
enhances your comment.
He just made the big times, where are his fall guys?
"According to the report, Elliott allegedly attacked Thompson while she was sitting the driver’s seat of her parked car. The report states that Elliott was not arrested due to conflicting reports from witnesses, but that Thompson was referred to the prosecutor’s office."
Uh...yeah. Seems legit.
I read the report...but they also did not identify the witnesses nor their relationship to EE.
Someone in the car very likely has a vested interest in making sure EE doesn't go to jail.

Not saying he didn't do it, but there are some looney girls out there who will make up stories if they think they're getting pushed off the gravy train.
Best to let the facts come in before we rush to judement. The fact that he was not arrested probably gives some doubt to her story.
It's best to blame the victim in these types of scenarios.
Let's wait to see if she was in fact a victim first.
Maybe her bruised face might tell the story in a timely enough fashion for you.
I haven't seen a bruised face. Have you?
an actual face included? Seriously?
This wasn't posted in the OP.
was from the first initial report and didn't include photos for whatever reason.
Two seconds using Google and I found these.
Sure. But I hadn't seen them. I asked. You provided pictures. Good for you.
Took 2 seconds to find additional details.
Look before you leap. Your PSA for the day.
I apologize for not googling breaking news before asking if there are pictures that are not included in the OP.
The point is you said it in a condescending way when you clearly had not taken the 2 seconds to research whether you had ground to stand on
didn't say it in a condescending way. He said the following: "I haven't seen any pictures of a bruised face, have you?" OMG, what a dick!! He was inquiring, many people had not seen those pictures.
And about those pictures, before Boliver goes and sentences Elliot himself, I am sure he can substantiate who took them, when they were taken, who is pictured in them, whether they were in any way doctored, Elliot's relationship with the person in the picture, and why the bruises were not noted in the police report.
Convicting people on the internet is a fantastic idea, cuz pictures.
LOL. I have no interest in "ground to stand on." I don't care about Ezekiel Elliott or maintaining his good name. I asked if there are pictures when nobody had posted pictures up to that point. It turns out there are pictures (but still not of her bruised face).
I thought part of the whole idea of a message board was discussion and sharing of information, but I guess questions aren't encouraged here.
This is going nowhere.
you may not have intended it too, but it came off like a dickish comment. Especially considering the comment before actually implied that such pictures existed.
Either way, misunderstanding resolved, lets all move forward.
as much effort in to his analysis of prospects. I guess Rivals, Scout, and 247 hasn't posted the pictures of the lady's injuries, so Magnus didn't have his usual insider info.
Good news is he has now discovered Google as a reference tool.
a) Brian Cook, the proprietor of MGoBlog, often uses two independent sources in his recruiting profiles, along with the main sites: Son of a Coach and Touch the Banner. If my analyses were so shallow, then my guess is he wouldn't use them. Furthermore, the Kingston Davis post a week or two ago included a blurb from me and another from Tyrone Wheatley that had us saying very similar things. Now if you have any specific qualms with my analysis, then feel free to let me know. Otherwise, there are just drive-by potshots like this one without any specific criticism whatsoever.
b) I would also be interested in your identifying any "insder info" that I have stolen from Rivals, Scout, or 247. I've never even had a subscription to Scout, and I'm not even on the Rivals or 247 boards very often.
I don't think anyone else on this site gets into more long, drawn out arguments over absolutely nothing. You always seem to have to have the last word on everything. Can't just read a comment and not worry about it.
Someone disagreed with you on the internet. It's ok, man. No need to get defensive.
The quicker we rush to judgement, then better.
Yep, always shame the victim. That will teach 'em.
Don't really understand why you're being downvoted. You both can not blame the victim and not label Elliot guilty...at the same time!
it's pathetic that society tolerates it and people think this is okay.
a minute. Nobody on here has even come close to suggesting that domestic violence is OK. In fact, most people on this board are so sensitive to such topics that any suggestion that a person should be afforded due process results in claims of misogyny. The only thing objectionable on this topic so far is that people believe that an allegation amounts to guilt.
People on this board can be all sorts of PC little babies all the time. People get so offended with the word retarded. I have 2 down syndrome nieces and I have never once been offended by the use of that word. In my years at Michigan, the one thing that annoyed me more than anything were the vast swaths of SJW's and PC douchnozzles. I love this school more than anything, but the uber lefty bs gets old fast. I agree with you wholeheartedly that noone on this board thinks domestic violence is acceptable or OK and this doesn't look good at all for Ezekiel.
You are telling me if someone called your nieces retarded or retards to their face, you wouldn't be offended? And if you wouldn't accept that to be said to their face, why would you be ok with it in peoples general dialogue? I have rarely heard the word retarded used in a positive way in my life, and I am a special education teacher (mental retardation has only recently given way to intellectual disability). The word retarded per se does not bother me, what bothers me is the use of that word to describe someone who acts like a complete idiot. I am by no means politically correct, but I do believe comparing someone who does idiotic things and ought to know better to people with intellectual disabilities is marginalizing them as human beings. I have a daughter with Down syndrome, and I have had individuals refer to her as a Mongoloid in my presence, and while I understand that was a common term used in our recent history, I found it pretty offensive. I don't go into fits of rage because that is counterproductive, but I do try to educate people when these issues come up. Individuals with intellectual disabilities have enough of a stigma without having to be compared to idiots doing asinine things.
you have been made to feel uncomfortable.
The few have tainted the reputation of the many, once again.
But haven't seen a lot of mysogyny...certainly not anything approaching a systemic problem. Perhaps that's because we see things from a different perspective, much like you probably don't see or appreciate the ever greater feminization of our culture over the last 30 years or so.
I call it the pussification of the American male. Agree 100%
Oh no, man!!! Girl shit! Whatever will we do?!? Better marginalize that really quick! /s
I can't tell if this is supposed to be irony or what?
is doing something wrong, though, because this is America and DOOOOOOM. You always got to remember that.
