The video shows Zeke engaged in what appears to be an argument with a female companion. Elliott is seen following her through the crowd, and then security starts to get involved after Zeke moves his body to block her from walking away.
One of the security guards says something that attracts Elliott’s attention, causing him to move in closer. The guard falls backward from minimal contact. It as soon after that police get involved.
There isn’t much here that would cause trouble for the average player, but that’s hardly Elliott’s situation. He’s one of the most prolific stars in the NFL and already has history with the league for domestic violence and personal conduct issues.
Remember, no charges were filed when the NFL gave Elliott a six-game suspension in 2017 after accusations from an ex-girlfriend of domestic violence.
We will have to wait and see how Roger Goodell chooses to treat this latest issue.
Does stupid warrant a suspension? I think he will get one for it.
Watched tape. I heard someone say the N-word. Not sure if it was the staffer, but Zeke gets in the guys face immediately after. The guys co-workers were right there and didnt believe he was in any harm. They sat there and walked away with Zeke , not trying to restrain or detain him. My question is, why did police even cuff Zekes girlfriend as well. This is a nothing burger , just bad PR.
In total agreement. No suspension.
N-word heard and you can bet Goodell will run from that whole thing.
Stated the Zeke was Handcuffed for his own protection. Detained. Not charged = NUTTIN-BURGER.
