Carbon copy of Zeke Elliots case. No charges.
However, Foster is arrested TWICE in less than a month, Drugs and domestic violence.

I just want to see consistency.

Really? I thought Zeke Elliot was caught on tape pulling a woman's top down in public. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nope. He was suspended for an alleged act while he was at Ohio State. The NFL spent over a year investigating domestic violence allegations raised by Elliott’s former girlfriend in Columbus, Ohio. She filed police reports and went to the Columbus City Attorney’s office to pursue charges in July 2016. Elliott was never charged with a crime.

So he was punished for something that was already adjudicated before he even in the NFL, yet the NFL decided to hold him accountable?

Water under the bridge. Again, it is just consistency. And the NFL screwed the pooch yet again.

Yes he did expose a woman in public captured on tape, so your Nope comment is WRONG!! Here is the link, but it is Not safe for work for nudity:

But that was NOT why he was suspended. Nope comment referred to reasons for suspension. Stay in context.

Past behavior is taken in consideration when doling out punishment. That incident on film in 2017 definitely played a part in Elliot's recent suspension.
