The NFL did not find that #Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. He may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities.
Once the FBI files charges against The Espinal Gang, we may not be perceived as villains any longer ... or at least, not purely evil type villains.
Much depends upon the FBI at this point. I'm looking forward to the perp walk with the entire Espinal Gang cankle chained to one another and batch-loaded into an unmarked, grey van.

That's the story. It's a tale about how a few individuals with access to a press pass or a microphone can manufacture a "story" and call it "news".
And the saddest aspect of all is the reality that they did it (and continue to do it) for the express purpose of personal career advancement. A man's life and career were at stake and they were willing to destroy him in exchange for clicks and views.
That, my friend, is how far we've fallen. I pray this is the bottom.

This is a day to celebrate BRC, quit being a party pooper. [Reply]
I'm glad they didn't do what we all thought they'd do and just say "well people were upset when they thought he was guilty so we better suspend him anyways"
Our offense is going to be incredible! especially if this 2nd round pick turns out to be good. [Reply]
No mad at the ruling. It appears the league is going in the right direction in these types of situations, saying that Ezekiel Elliot and his people has to be fuming right now. [Reply]

Based on what we think we know, the only possible justification they had for a suspension was the "protect the shield" idea ... assuming Tyreek's innocence, of course.
However, I think the real issue here was the Ugly-Ass Can Of Worms they open if Tyreek really was (in some form or fashion) extorted by Baby Mama.
Can you imagine the number of players who would go nuts realizing they were now at risk of being surreptitiously recorded and baited into saying something they might later regret? It wouldn't just create a problem for the NFL, it would establish a precedent that puts every professional athlete at risk.

That, I think, was the concern in this case.

Very perceptive. It would have opened a can of worms. [Reply]
