Hope they reduce it to like sex games without much fanfare.

It is going to get the point if a black person is called a racial slur they will be allowed to murder people and get off. I mean WTF? Give me a fricking break. Who fricking cares if he DID get called a racial slur. Accept responsibility for your actions. What a little baby back bitch.

Didn't tell anyone. Not the NFL, not his team, not the refs, not the coaches.
Only a week later he comes out and says it.
Unreal. Kick the guy out of the league.

I’ve read from legal people this specifically isn’t an option
I actually thought Garrett had a decent case in his appeal to get the suspension reduced by bringing up previous precedent set by the NFL for basically the same offense a few years ago. Guy rips Richie Incognito's helmet in a scuffle and swings it at him. Gets suspended for 3 games...and 2 of the 3 were preseason games. So he only missed 1 game check and 1 game that counted.

quote:Thanks for that, that makes sense. And again not knowing the law, I could certainly see a false racial slur claim would fit with being inherently damaging.
It's a fair consideration (damages) you raised. But there are categories of defamation where the requirement of showing how you were damaged is lessened because the nature of the defamation is such that it is believed to be/assumed inherently damaging.

It's particularly bad in the sports context because now you're going to have thousands of loyal fans pretend Rudolph really said that because it impacts their team allegiance.
If Garrett doesn't have a really compelling story and/or if it can be shown Rudolph didn't say it, then the NFL has to punish this really harshly.
They won't, I suspect.

Their black head coach could really make a statement here by backing Rudolph.

The NFL is not the NBA. Myles is done.

After the Kaepernick shite, no way they come down on him. This will disappear like a fart in the wind

Can't wait for The Undefeated's piece about him being forced to deal with these racial ineptitudes.
