2369195, Gloria Allred being involved means it'll probably get ugly
Posted by mrhood75, Wed Sep-17-14 01:24 PM
Wonder if it's going to involved someone from the Falcons are just a player that lives in Atlanta.
2369198, :(

2369199, Who exactly does the NFL owe a duty of care to here?
Posted by veritas, Wed Sep-17-14 01:30 PM
And what is that duty?


Allred said in a statement she would be joined by “two individuals who allege that they or a family member were victims of violence and abuse by an NFL player,” and that those two would “discuss how the NFL and Commissioner Goodell failed them.”


I know what she's doing, but I don't like that phrasing.
2369201, The way it's worded makes it seem like the victim reached out to Goddell
Posted by placee_22, Wed Sep-17-14 01:35 PM
or even the owner personally, and I'm almost certain that did not happen. I'd be shocked if she came w/ any kind of correspondence from an NFL owner or front office.
2369235, Oh Shit! I was wrong. Ol girl said she called Goddell.
Posted by placee_22, Wed Sep-17-14 02:25 PM

i'm almost surprised it took her this long.
2369211, My question exactly...
Posted by Marbles, Wed Sep-17-14 01:46 PM

Maybe Goodell was aware of whatever is coming down & didn't discipline the player? But that makes me wonder what or if the authorities did anything.

And since he's on the hottest of seats right now, anything that halfway looks like leniency is going to add bricks to his lifeboat.

2369203, that sounds really stupid. what a money grab.
Posted by cgonz00cc, Wed Sep-17-14 01:38 PM
How does anyone in the world come to the conclusion that the commissioner of a pro sports league is responsible for protecting victims of violence?

Talking about how RG "failed them". Did he negligently fail to arrest, convict, sentence, and incarcerate their attackers? Because the implication there is that he was supposed to, as tho somehow the NFL is responsible for the individual actions of an employee of one of its member organizations.

And of course Gloria Allred's involvement is going to ratchet this up to a 10 out of 10 as far as public spectacle goes.
2369205, i seriously hate this woman. i remember she represented scary
Posted by lazyboi, Wed Sep-17-14 01:40 PM
scary spice. even tho eddie had paid for all medical bills, and was paying child support. larry king was like....what the hell else you want? did larry was like "did u ask eddie to buy you a 9 million dollar house?"

THEN she represented some adult film star or stripper that had a TEXTING/EMAIL relationship with anthony weiner lol

it's like a circus to her

She's not going after B. Marshall...He's just a prop who already copped to his past issues...

Allred is going after Goddell and his job...And she may just get it...
2369241, yeah, that's what i thought
Posted by hateration, Wed Sep-17-14 02:30 PM
hasn't he copped to his troubled past and been an outspoken proponent of mental health issues?

This is not a money grab. This is more a move to get Goodell fired.

...talking about, he's been a season ticket holder for 30 years

but after Blount and ol' boy were allowed to play

after being charged with DUI and posession, or WTF it was

he decided not to buy season tickets anymore

*sideye*

I'm standing in front of the TV cheering one of these fools to ask ol' boy how he felt about Rapistburger

of course they didn't

but come the fuck on people

didn't Bam Morris get bagged with like 100 lbs or something (might have been when he was in KC though)

anyway, I heard one person voice where I'm at with this

do you know how many McDonald's employees have been arrested for DV

or even Budweiser, or these other sponsors threatening to pull out

all this BS is more of a narrative to where we are as a society

we need our politics spoon fed to us through entertainment

meanwhile, actual politicans are getting away with murder

Posted by deejboram, Fri Sep-19-14 06:09 PM
she drags Goddell's name thru the mud with these two snakes and then the NFL pays her law firm to set up or represent whatever woman's program she is saying needs to be implemented.

and of course, today we see that woman's program being FULLY FUNDED by the nfl.

I wonder what rashida feels about her dad and "friend" dragging her hurtful painful past thru the media like this?
this was WILD
