Quote:I wonder if people would feel different if there was audio and earlier video too, when it was alleged and I think even proven that she repeatedly called him racial slanders and spitting in his face. 

 

While I don't condone hitting a woman ever, but if you could hear her calling him a [BAD WORD REMOVED] N word repeatedly and spitting in his face instead of just a silent video of a light contact before the punch I think perception would be quite a bit different

Swing and a miss. 

In the grand scheme of things....it was wrong what he did. He decked that chick hard and caused some decent damage. Should the guy be persecuted for life? Nah.....but if opponents heckle him on the field for what he did to try to get under his skin, that is going to be fair game.

 

He may never lose the stigma of punching out that girl, but if he stays on the straight and narrow and performs on the field, no one will really care.

Correction: If he EVER GETS on the straight and narrow.

I would agree. It is true that we should not judge others, especially if we are unaware of all the facts. However, this interview combined with the 2nd reported incident tell me to stay away from this guy. The Jags are finally acquiring talented players (Ramsay, Jack, Telvin, Yannick, Bouye, Calais and Malik) who are also good citizens. Why mess with a guy who has a decent chance to turn out like Pacman Jones, Aquib Talib or Lawrence Phillips? I say "pass" on him- just take Fournette in the 1st.
