And I'm not defending Tyreek the guy here, just Tyreek the player. But when it comes to either the guy or player, it's not what you think or even know, it's what you can prove. IMO, of course. [Reply]

So any person can make a random allegation and the NFL is obligated to suspend the player? That's how it works even with no evidence? [Reply]

Hill's price tag just fell off a cliff, at least in terms of up-front, guaranteed money. And doubtful we'll see a bunch of other teams beating down his agent's door for him to sign there and bring his public relations baggage with him.
Just sign him now. Could get him for about 10-12 mil a year instead of 20 [Reply]
The Fifth Amendment has saved Tyreek Hill from being prosecuted in connection with injuries inflicted on his child; the Fifth Amendment won't save him from a potential suspension https://t.co/o9nrCScWyU

Did I miss the part where Hill was charged with a crime? Not being charged is a clean bill of health. The DA can literally say anything because no one will ever see whatever evidence there is. [Reply]

Huh? They can have an out clause in case of any future legal troubles. [Reply]

Random allegation? The kids arm was broken you fucking retard. [Reply]

But they do have to have some type of evidence that Hill did something wrong. Zeke was suspended because when they did their investigation they found a ton of evidence Zeke personally did something wrong regarding abuse of women even though charges were not filed. There were multiple incidents with multiple witnesses.
If the NFL suspends Hill it will be because they have evidence he committed this act, if they do not then it doesn't exist.
The NFL can't suspend Hill without some form of actual evidence he did something wrong, you are greatly exaggerating how this works.
I'm simplifying it for the sake of discussion but you know how the NFL works.
The kids' broken arm is plenty enough evidence for the NFL to investigate. And Hill's apparent willingness to invoke to avoid charges could, in and of itself, be grounds for a suspension.
Kind of like the DOT taking your license if you refuse a field sobriety test. [Reply]
