Where is Suggs’ suspension from the league? Other players have been disciplined based on allegations and unfounded accusations, so why not Suggs?

Read the linked article. You will discover it is over a recent custody dispute filed in November. Custody, as is who gets the kids. The alleged bleach incident was in a 2009 court order than was rescinded one month later by the woman, along with her $70M lawsuit against Suggs while they tried to work out their issues.

Clearly there is a relationship issue here but I think this is a case where we are trying to make more out of it.

I would hope that any charge of domestic violence against any player on the Ravens is grounds for cutting that player immediately.

Proof is important, but if proven, there’s no room, I would hope, on the team that I love, for any man that would raise a finger against a woman or child (disciplining a child is something different and a fine line separates the two).

Cmon Ravens fans! Domestic violence isn’t some football statistic we can spin for our tribal purposes.

I’m pretty sure that anytime anyone is accused of domestic violence they must surrender all firearms until the case is decided. If he is actually convicted of a violent crime he will never get them back. I give Suggs credit for surrendering the firearms as he is supposed to.

“All I can tell you is that he’s in rightful and lawful possession of the guns but turned them over pursuant to the requirements of the law.”

Please explain.

Everything’s ok now. He’ll become totally non-violent now that he’s surrendered the evil guns.

Law Enforcement stepped in & did the right thing…if & when the couple resolve their issues,he’ll be able to request his firearms to be returned to him….

FYI, in the state of MD, any domestic dispute allegation requires ALL parties to turnover all weapons. It’s not because of who he is, or that he is a danger to his wife and children, it’s just state law. My brother-in-law had to do the same thing last year.

jdmcmill, so the child’s mother just made up some random story about bleach being held over her and her son? Where there’s smoke there is usually fire, Suggs is just another bully who thinks the rules don’t apply to him and can dominate and control a woman into doing what he wants. You are pathetic.

That’s pretty sad. I know he is going thru a lot right now with the injury and fighting with your girl is one thing but involving the kid is wrong

You are all idiots!!! You should know the biased family laws in MD for making retarded statements. This is standard procedure and has no weight on the character of the individual. Just because some douche bag in KC thought it was a good idea to off his GF we are quick to judge and even more quick to report a non-story that is suddenly a story….

Not a Ravens fan by any means, nor do I care particularly about Suggs, but I find it disgusting that a sports news outlet is jumping on a non-story, demonizing the guy without due-process.

The allegations are horrifying, but if I am reading the story right, the police chose not to investigate. Most likely means there is nothing to them, and his weapons should be returned to him very shortly.

Steelers fan don’t be judgemental, we just signed a WR that shot his stupid self in the leg, Suggs is innocent till proven guilty

This sounds serious, but the Baltimore reporters who broke this story will get an earful from the fans.

I’m not saying it’s justified for fans to do this. I just know this will happen because the hometown paper revealed a possibly damning story about a hometown star.

Is anybody really that surprised? Considering who we’re dealing with here I’m not. I mean his mentor has sort of been there and done that already if you know what I mean.

In related news Bob Costas wants more bleach and soap control so tune in to the halftime show Sunday night to hear all about it!

It must be difficult for Ravens fans to cheer for this guy knowing how he treats his wife and children. Damn! At least that torn biceps given to him by the Steelers will limit his ability to throw soap dispensers and poor bleach on his loved ones.

“So, he lawfully owns the guns, but he was forced by law to give them up? Doesn’t compute.”

….

I am willing to bet that he was required to give up the firearms temporarily because the mother filed a restraining order or protection order against Suggs. Many states require that during the length of a RO that an individual surrender firearms.

@2 like when your car gets towed. You are in lawful possession but forced to give it up.

@2
I believe it’s common practice in some areas if you have restraining order from your ex or are facing domestic violence charges one of your bail restrictions is the handing over of your firearms
