Amid allegations of domestic violence against Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott, the running back has appealed the six game suspension handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The Players Commission had this to say: "Our union has appealed the NFL’s six-game suspension of Ezekiel Elliott. We will represent Ezekiel, as we do all players, to ensure that the NFL is held to its obligation of adhering to principles of industrial due process under the collective bargaining agreement."
The League handed down the ban for violating its personal conduct policy although Elliott was never arrested or charged after being accused of domestic violence by a former girlfriend. In a letter to Elliott, The NFL's special counsel for personal conduct wrote that they, "were of the view that there is substantial and persuasive evidence supporting a finding that (Elliott) engaged in physical violence."
