With a decision on Greg Hardy’s playing status imminent, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might have thought he tied up all his domestic violence loose ends.

So naturally, another one is about to fray.

According to Mike Morris of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, attorney Gloria Allred has called a 3 p.m. press conference where she’ll discuss alleged incidents of abuse by another NFL player.

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.”

There was no information about the identity of the people who’d be talking, or who the player was.

You can practically hear the puckering in New York now.

The allegations themselves are old but Allred is accusing Goodell of turning a blind eye and ignoring evidence. He was suspended three games reduced to one. He was a Bronco at the time which explains everything

You will start seeing commercials soon.

"Have you or a loved one been abused by an NFL player? If so you may be entitled to a settlement".

Maybe that's why parking is so expensive - to dissuade the ambulance chasers from chasing the NFL?

From what I'm hearing, it sounds like her cause has become more about Ms Allred and less about domestic violence.

Didn't know who she was until now.

Regardless of what happened, it should be interesting to hear how the NFL failed these women. I would think that the police and justice system would be the ones to serve their needs, not their husband's employer.

Huh. I had a similar situation with Tony when I was a kid. He's a genuine douche.

I sold him a bunch of furniture at my place of employment shortly after his trade to the Falcons for his place down there and he was a total asswipe the entire time.

Well, yeah.
But I still don't see a situation where the NFL owes a duty to those women or how the NFL would ever be liable to them for anything. Even if the NFL directly ignored evidence--they aren't the police. They can't arrest or prosecute anyone.

ever

A year and a half ago, at an airport in Vegas, I walked by Tommy Lee Jones and without thinking, I was like, "hey, Tommy Lee Jones! I loved you in The Fugitive!" He grimaced back at me, grabbed his junk and was like, "fugitive this, asshole."

He must have been having a bad day or something. Or maybe he doesn't like being bothered at the airport.

Gloria Allred is trash, she would sue anyone for anything.

maybe this lawsuit is valid but having her involved doesn't help it's legitimacy
