No surprise. Women know when other women are lying. It's pretty shocking that he got six when one investigator didn't even think he merited one.

Yeah, I mean how can it not? What possible other motivation could there be for something THIS so blatantly corrupt?
Goodell should be forced to resign and this Friel woman-kunt should be fired immediately.

I don't see how anyone, even people who hate the Cowboys or owners/players of other teams cant be outraged by this. I really don't.

Sure teams would be happy to not have to have Zeke running the ball against them. But the players and even owners of other teams cant look at this and the way it was handled and think this is good for their league. This is honestly the most corrupt thing I've ever seen in the NFL.
This is like WWF the fix is in type garbage. Makes the whole league look like a fucking joke.

I think its deeper and more complex than just mere Cowboy hate from the parties involved. Sure, on some subconscious level, if Friel is an avid Giant fan and Cowboy hater, then those feelings may effect how she interprets things as they pertain to the Cowboys but I doubt its enough for her to blatantly railroad an innocent person just because he's a Cowboy. I think its more to do with games attorneys play, the gutless NFL being too cowardly to stand against hysteria, concern over appearance, etc, etc

I've long believed Friel has been encouraging Goodell to do something like this to "make a statement" and gain political points with the extreme feminist left, left leaning media and also the hope that doing something like this would increase viewership among women in general.
That said, with all the stuff that is coming out it's pretty apparent there was more to it than just this. if Elliott were a Tampa Bay Buccaneer or a Denver Bronco this shit would have been shut down and done before Thanksgiving last year.

Look at Donte Fowler as an example. This idiot kicked the hell out of some guy for criticizing his driving and we haven't heard one peep about a possible suspension for him.

And then there's this advisory board:
The former AG from New Jersey... of course he's not a Giants' fan. But the rest... what the fuck are their qualifications?

This.
And the NFLPA agrees, having already filed to have ANY suspension blocked by the courts.

Goodell- "So what is your view of the Dallas Cowboys"
Advisory Board wanna bes- "Well Roger I hate them with a passion"
Goodell- "Thanks, you're hired"

NFLPA requests restraining order to block any suspension of Ezekiel Elliott
The NFLPA filed a request for a temporary restraining order in the Eastern District of Texas, calling for the courts to block any suspension of Ezekiel Elliott upheld by NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson, according to a court filing obtained by ESPN.
The NFLPA filing calls for the court to vacate any suspension of Elliott, accusing the league's appeal process of being "fundamentally unfair" and citing new facts revealed during this week's hearing that wrapped up Thursday.
The NFL's director of investigations testified in the hearing on the appeal of Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension on Tuesday that she would not have recommended discipline for the Cowboys running back based on what she found, a source told ESPN.
The NFL had no comment on the filing.
If Henderson rules that Elliott remains suspended for any stretch of games, the court then can decide to stay the suspension while it reviews the matter, and Elliott could potentially be allowed to play while the case works its way through the courts.
In the filing, the NFLPA alleges "there was a League-orchestrated conspiracy by senior NFL executives .... to hide critical information -- which would completely exonerate Elliott."
"During the course of the past 13 months and culminating in the last three days of the appeal process, we have witnessed some of the most egregious violations of legal due process in connection with the NFL's investigation of Mr. Elliott," read a statement from Elliott's attorneys Frank Salzano and Scott Rosenblum. "Not only did the underlying facts not support the false allegations made against Mr. Elliott, but the process in which they were gathered and adjudicated were fundamentally unfair. Mr. Elliott looks forward to being completely vindicated and will continue to explore all other legal options to redress the reputational and monetary harm that he has suffered."
According to the filing, Kia Wright Roberts, the NFL's director of investigations, testified Tuesday that she was the only NFL employee who interviewed the running back's accuser, Tiffany Thompson, during the investigation and that she would not have recommended discipline for Elliott based on what she found.
