Kicker Tucker Kicked Out After Sexual Misconduct Allegations: NFL Slaps Ten-Game Ban
NFL imposes suspension on Starkicker due to alleged sexual misbehavior
Hop off the football field, Justin Tucker! The NFL's come down hard on the 35-year-old ex-Super Bowl champ, served up a ten-game suspension following some hefty sexual misconduct allegations. The claims? grin emoji16 massage therapists claim ol' Tuck's been giving them the creeps for years. Yep, you heard that right - ol' Tuck's allegedly been flashing his junk during massage sessions, and these chicks ain't happy about it!
It all went down between 2012 and 2016, with the poor massage therapists claiming they were subjected to Tucker's aggressive behavior. Needless to say, Tucker's been cleared from the Baltimore Ravens' roster since May this year, after a whopping 13 years on the team. Despite the suspension, the dude's still somehow eligible to sign with another team, just in time for preseason madness.
Tucker Denies All Claims and Remains Defiant
Rubbing it in the Ravens' faces, Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, voiced his displeasure at the NFL's decision. "Justin ain't got nothin' to hide," Roche stated. "He's always been about making his family and community proud. He's just denyin' these allegations like he did before." It's worth noting that ol' Tuck won't be appealing his suspension.
Tucker first graced the Ravens' turf back in 2012, signing on as an undrafted player. Between then and now, he's been the king of NFL kickers, earning All-Pro status a whopping five times. He even helped the Ravens bag the Super Bowl title in 2012. You think that record-breaking 66-yard field goal helped cushion this fall from grace? Unlikely!
Alas, here's the lowdown: ol' Tuck's out of the Ravens, under suspension, and free to sign with any other team. But he'll have to serve his time if he does. So, ladies, keep those massage oils handy. The NFL's got its eyes on Tucker, and he won't be gracing your table anytime soon!
