NAUgrad Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I guess I'm a little confused with this argument of assault. Almost EVERY sport technically has assault in it. Hockey players should all be sued and thrown in jail according to this logic. B-Ball and Baseball players have bench clearing brawls, a college basketball player even picked up a chair recently. That is equally as bad if not worse than a helmet. Honestly, wielding a stick is the most dangerous by far! So I guess we should just quit the game of hockey because a high stick happens all the time and should be considered assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe taking a guys stick and beating him with it is assault? No? Sounds like assault to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodell ran so fast from this as soon as he heard the "N" word it's not funny. As soon as that word is uttered it's over, and Garrett knew it. He's scum, he buried that kid and ruined any chance he had of getting endorsements just to save his own ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett got the stiffest punishment EVER for an on field incident and you're saying the commissioner bent over because of a racial slur? Do you have any proof of this?

Garrett had been fined $50,000 for several penalties, notably punching Delanie Walker of the Tennessee Titans and two roughing-the-passer plays on Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian, one of which ended his season.

Not saying he's an angel, but you keep bringing up this racial slur like it had some influence on the Commissioner. I'm saying it's hard to say that was the case when he got the toughest penalty ever. I'm just failing to see the logic in your argument.

The N word is cryptonite to the NFL and it's sponsors. Goody wants this thing to go away asap. You know as well as I do that Rudolph never said that. But you appear to defend Garrett, why is that?

As for Rudolph, the guy acted like a dbag on the field, regardless if he said it or not. If I were a company looking for someone to endorse my product, it sure wouldn't be him.

I never defended Garrett and could care less about the man. You keep throwing stuff out there with little backing or evidence and if someone doesn't agree, there's something wrong with them. You're off base on many aspects of this discussion, but to each their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter if it was on the field, on the street, in a pool, on a plane, etc. Battery is battery - its not dependent on where it happens. Ive been accused in the past by a nameless wonder for taking this stance as its the Browns. I don't care if it was D Leonard, Chandler Jones, P Mahomes or M Thomas (all guys I really like). I'd take the same stance. Ive yet to read one valid argument that dismisses any legal penalty for what Garrett did. Saying “because it happened on the field” is Bush League. blah-blah-blah I've yet to ready any legal person who's said this is or should count as assault, or be considered a crime. Just a bunch of whiny fans acting like this is the most egregious thing that has happened in the NFL ever. I guess you missed the Haynesworth Stomp.

stevegrab Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Seriously a few people here have too much starch in their shorts and it is something personal with Garrett or the Browns. Even most Steeler fans I know have moved on and would laugh at these claims that this was a crime and there should be assault charges. Again I guess everybody forgot about Albert Haynesworth stomping on a guys head, clearing trying to (and succeeding) cause injury. His suspension, 5 games. What crimes was he charged with? NONE ZIP NADA. League champ is arguing just to argue, because he likes the back and forth and wants to post 100 times a day. Shorty, I'm not sure what his issue is, maybe somebody tried to hit him with a helmet once and nobody charged the guy with a crime. I'm sure both of them were calling for assault charges on Haynesworth. This story on the Haynesworth stomp does talk about possibly pursuing charges (Nashville Police and Cowboy's officials). I don't believe any charges were ever filed, because everybody knew it would be a bad precedent to set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
