Three more for Tucker. Hearing it’s going to get worse too

I never really read into the Desean allegations but he didn’t rape anyone right? Is what Tucker allegedly did the same as Watson just less in quantity (or maybe not). Or did Watson take it further. Sucks to be a Ravens fan right now

It sounds eerily similar. Biggest difference I see is that Tucker wasn’t out here DMing masseuses and providing receipts. But the actions all feel quite the same.
 
An annoying side issue on this Tucker story is the assumption that the Ravens knew and that releasing it now somehow benefits the team.

I mean, maybe they knew, but the fact that an entire fanbase who lives in the city was seemingly oblivious means there's a good chance it was news to them too.

The idea that it helps the team to have to pay Tucker (who'd got back to normal by the end of the season) and a replacement kicker too makes no sense either.

This all gets worse for us if they did know and kept it quiet. Then again the bengals owner said the rape allegations Didn’t deter him from drafting Jackson Carmen so I’m not taking any shit from this hypocritical world
 
Why are we not speaking plainly? Is it because we don't know or because we're dancing around it because it's awkward?

If we actually know the allegations can someone just spit it out? I feel like this

Tucker plus black box and massage = something

I mean the "issue" is that, according to reports, multiple of the "victims" literally reached out to the Ravens and told them about the incidents.

My issue is that I can't think of a tangible action item the Ravens could take even if they knew. There was, at least back then, no legal action taken towards him. All they have is a masseuse telling them it happened. Even an "investigation" into it still yields you back to a he said, she said, with no legal action being taken.

Considering how the NFL (not just the Ravens) treat criminal issues in the league in general, I'm not even sure "complaints from masseuses and being banned from spas" qualifies as a terminatable offense. I think, at a bare minimum, you'd end up in arbitration with the Union over compensation.

Also would point out that the Texans effectively weren't "punished" at all by the NFL for the stuff Watson did, and its extremely clear that the Texans knew about it and arguably enabled it.

Already seeing it on Twitter saying things like lock him up or they better have the same energy about him as Watson, etc. This explains his issues as he was worried all year of when the news would drop.

If he and his wife were swingers, maybe part of it was massage fantasy things and some of the therapist weren't willing to participate, and he kept pushing the issue or whatever. The irony is that I threw my Ray Rice jersey away when the elevator footage of him hitting his fiance came out... and replaced it with a Tucker jersey.

Can you buy a Jamar Chase or Joe Burrow jersey next?

I hadn't heard that his accusers contacted the Ravens. That does cast them in a bad light.

Even if they investigated the first case and ended with a "he said, she said" conclusion, the subsequent accusers should have been believed and Tucker cut or, more likely, traded.

I wonder if his godly facade helped him convince Harbaugh of his innocence?
 
Justin’s fucked. Bet we’ll be releasing him soon
 
JO_75 said:
Yep. More women are coming out now. Thing is we know if we cut him some team will sign him and watch him return to GOAT status again..

Honestly his career is probably over
 
I shouldn’t be surprised as Reddit is truly a cesspool of sanctimonious pseudo intellectuals, but god damn the whole ravens Reddit has decided Tucker is guilty and it’s clear as day. I would love to see Tucker win defamation suits

I Know I mentioned the Duke Lacrosse situation but a more recent situation would be Trevor Baue where MLB jumped the gun, suspended him only for it to be all made up. I want this to be the case but damn it... it's not looking good.

Absolutely 1,000%. And benefited hugely from the browns trade
