Things might get pretty messy between Ezekiel Elliott and the NFL.
The Dallas Cowboys running back, who recently was handed a six-game suspension for violating the league’s domestic violence policy, is set to appeal the decision Tuesday. Elliott’s argument will focus largely on the testimony provided by his former girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Elliott’s father, Stacy Elliott, is ready to dig in, and clearly believes his son has a good case.

Given that Elliott never was arrested or charged with a crime, it makes sense that his family, as well as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, are upset about and ready to fight the suspension.
But as Tom Brady’s infamous Deflategate saga proved, the NFL doesn’t need concrete evidence to discipline its players.
