Ravens Release Justin Tucker, Claim It's A "Football Decision" | Defector
Briefly

NFL kicker Justin Tucker is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct from 16 massage therapists, prompting the Baltimore Ravens to release him. Although the team’s official statement framed the decision as a standard football move based on roster considerations, it has been criticized for not addressing the gravity of the accusations. The allegations include inappropriate behavior and actions that have led to bans from spas, raising questions about the timing and reasoning behind Tucker's release, especially in light of the ongoing investigation by the NFL.
The Ravens' announcement regarding Tucker's release, emphasizing a standard football decision, awkwardly sidesteps the serious misconduct allegations against him.
16 massage therapists have accused Tucker of sexual misconduct, leading to his release by the Baltimore Ravens amid an ongoing investigation by the NFL.
