Love it.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
I find nothing about this love worthy. Domestic abuse is an epidemic right now.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
Unlike over, oh, say, the past 20,000 years, when husbands treated wives with kindness and patience and avoided domestic violence?
August 11th, 2017 at 12:36 PM ^
Because, you know, we still take part in all the activities we did 20k years ago.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Well, I just speared a woolly mammoth, so......
August 11th, 2017 at 1:12 PM ^
I ride mammoths to work every day. Very few options after my current one breaks down and you go out and spear one? Selfish.
August 11th, 2017 at 5:11 PM ^
go go power rangers
August 11th, 2017 at 12:39 PM ^
This has been going on forever obviously, but in fact I'd bet it's actually happening less now than in the past. Why? Because it's only really been the last 30 years or so since striking a woman has been taboo. Want proof of that? Watch movies made in the 40's and 50's--it was routine, that if a woman was "hysterical" the man would slap her. No one thought twice about it.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:44 PM ^
Exactly my point. Domestic violence is a huge, enduring, major issue that needs to be addressed much more vigorously. However, to treat it as some kind of "new issue" or "current epidemic" is to ignore the progress that has been made, while still acknowledging the work that needs to be done. It was not long ago that husbands could do virtually anything to women in this country without repercussions. In large parts of the world, they still can and do.
August 11th, 2017 at 2:25 PM ^
"it was routine, that if a woman was "hysterical" the man would slap her. No one thought twice about it. "
She would come around and stop acting hysterical after the slap thereby reinforcing the act of the slap was a good thing for her.
I've never hit my wife or any other woman. I never saw my dad hit my mom. I never heard any rumor of either grandfather hitting my grandmothers. I'd like to go back in time and find out when any of my ancesters hit women. Then I'd risk the grandfather paradox.
August 11th, 2017 at 9:27 PM ^
Fascinating point. I watch a lot of old films and the slaps happen frequently. Much later than 40s and 50s too – I watched Chinatown (1974) last weekend and Jack Nicholson slaps Faye Dunaway at the end about 4-5 times because he assumed she was lying to him.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:23 PM ^
He's probably just suffering from his diaspora out of Ohio.
Plus, don't you think it's good a player is getting a hefty suspension for it? Are you really that big of a self-righteous dipshit?
August 11th, 2017 at 12:24 PM ^
I can see why you'd love stories surrounding spousal abuse.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
I think you'd be better off just lurking the blog.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
You should spend more time away from the internet. Maybe a little John Locke would do you some good?
August 11th, 2017 at 3:58 PM ^
Welp, based on the upvote/downvote reaction, I think YOU should spend time away from the Internet and read John Locke, not WichitaWolverine.
August 11th, 2017 at 6:35 PM ^
Just don't know when it's time to just STFU do you.
August 11th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
A person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image, or counter-image, to the point where it is obviously contrived. Rather than achieving an image through genuine personality, the try-hard consciously attempts to fit a certain style through deliberate imitation, forced style, or scripted behavior. That is to say, he/she is trying hard to create an image.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:27 PM ^
You can't use that word...
August 11th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
Just when you think that we've risen above echo chamber practices, you're quickly reminded how untrue that is.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
Ouch, good comeback. I am currently immersed in a bathtub full of aloe vera to heal my full-body third degree burns.
August 11th, 2017 at 1:30 PM ^
Pics or it didn't happen.
August 11th, 2017 at 2:01 PM ^
Sharing for the board!!!!!
August 11th, 2017 at 5:05 PM ^
LIAR! That is not aloe vera, that is cream of broccoli soup.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:46 PM ^
"He's probably just suffering from his diaspora out of Ohio"
I kan English!
August 11th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Just curious, why is that incorrect?
August 11th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
i dont think a single person can be a diaspora... needs to be a group of people leaving an area otherwise there's no way to scatter...
August 11th, 2017 at 3:45 PM ^
Yeah, not buying it. A single person can suffer from the effects of it. Plus the diaspora is the disposition someone must endure; the people themselves are not called diaspora.
August 11th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
that he was never charged criminally for? Has Elliot acted like a knucklehead? Of course. But he was never charged and there was more evidence of false allegations. No different than what Jordan Lewis and Gareon Conley went through except the prosecutors never brought charges against Elliot.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:23 PM ^
He's happy that he's serving a suspension for it. Did you really think he meant he "loved" the domestic violence? Or is this just an opportunity to be sanctimonious?
August 11th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
Still not a love worthy topic. And the only likely reason he loves it is because the player in question attended Ohio State.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:27 PM ^
+1 for putting words in my mouth!
August 11th, 2017 at 12:44 PM ^
Uh, "love" is a really strange way to say the suspension is warranted. Jeffrey Dahmer finally got caught today for raping murdering and eating people? Love it!
I think it's pretty obvious he loves it because it makes OSU and Urban look bad.
August 11th, 2017 at 1:06 PM ^
yeah, you're probably right.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:27 PM ^
Except you know, all the claims of DV were unsubstantiated. She was heard yelling I will ruin your career.
I have no love for Zeke, but this is crap. 100% crap.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:52 PM ^
Yeah, not to mention the text messages of her asking her friends to lie to the cops about it. Also a sworn affidavit from the girl's friend saying it was untrue.
I already think Elliot is a slimebag, but I'd really like to see what Goodell found that the police didn't
August 11th, 2017 at 3:22 PM ^
I hear he's already suspended Tom Brady over this matter. Robert Kraft has been fined $1 million and docked a draft pick.
Because they were probably at least generally aware that domestic violence happens.
August 11th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
Zeke should get 6 games alone for pulling the woman's top down at the parade.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:17 PM ^
He'll convince himself that he's the real victim, and his crew (and loser Cowboy fans) will likely back him up. Odds of him learning and growing from this: about 2%.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:20 PM ^
Real world Fridays.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
on how many times this gets posted over the next few days
August 11th, 2017 at 12:25 PM ^
Maybe at least we'll get more creative titles, such as, "Zeke Gets Suspension for Punching Guy, NFL Not As Bothered by Unwanted Boob Grabs or Sexual Assault Allegations"?
August 11th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Whoa. Was not at all expecting this.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Picking up Alfred Morris in fantasy is all I know.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:23 PM ^
Or Darren McFadden
August 11th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
Here's hoping through some miracle that they find a back that they like more during the time he's suspended.
Yes, I know that's almost impossible.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:28 PM ^
But I was surprised that the NFL is allowed to operate outside the normal judicial system and form their own investigations. I mean, it's not any diffiernt than what the University did against Brendan Gibbons, but I guess I never really thought about the legal implications at the time.
August 11th, 2017 at 12:32 PM ^
UM is a public institution and also educational. Gibbons had rights under laws as to how a public school treats him. NFL is a private company and the "rights" an employee has are much more narrow, and mostly set by the CBA the union bargained for.
