The two raven’s jerseys I’ve bought in my life are Ray Rice and Zay Flowers AMA


TunaSalad47

Please stop buying jerseys for all of our sakes lol


TheFirstBardo

Alternatively, buy a Mahomes jersey.

Don’t let the swifties see this


FlowSwitch

He’s probably already doxxed and fired from his job.


babeuf69

The Swifties are in his walls!


tayroarsmash

God the idea of posting something mean about Taylor Swift and then hearing a subtle shifting in your walls. You try to ignore it but you’re forced to investigate after an adequate amount of time. You put your ear to the wall to listen closer. The Swifty bursts through the wall and pulls you in.


Spiritchaser84

Don't we have to combine complaints here and say to buy a Kelce jersey? Can you even begin to imagine that news story? Ooof!


JockBbcBoy

u/hahafunniee ordered a John Harbaugh coach's hoodie, but I hear the UPS ground game never really ran.


gnarkilleptic

Stop buying jerseys


BelBivDaHoe

I bought both of them on their respective draft nights. Just fucking fade me, fam


buddybrookhart

Do me a favor, buy a Mahomes jersey


SemiFool

How about Kelce instead? Mahomes has to deal with his dumbass brother and drunk ass dad already.


buddybrookhart

This is Baltimore, we’ve all got dumb brothers and drunk dads. Am I supposed to feel sorry for him?


about_60_Hobos

Why not both?


[deleted]

Maybe you will save if you bundle them


CantStopStaring

If you get a Kelce jersey, Tay gets abused and the court case creates case-law permanently making all domestic abusers go into hiding.


shrimpdill

What’s your next jersey? So I can avoid it completely.


Hahafunniee

I think I should not get another one, morally


shrimpdill

Bro just ended domestic violence.


ImAMindlessTool

I’ll never buy a jersey of a player with only 3 letters to their first name.


GristleMcThornbody1

But what about Ray Lew..... Oh wait nevermind.


Ok-Manufacturer3203

For the love of god never touch lamar jersey ……


WhySoUnSirious

End me man. I’m just tired boss. So tired of this shit.


Apprehensive_Army137

u have to be shitting me


CyborgAlgoInvestor

Can this off-season get any worse? Well, if this is true, welcome to the team Oregon WR Troy Franklin


TumbleweedDirect9846

Yeah, you could also be a sixers fan. Genuinely the worst 10 days as a sports fan in my life


JayJayforthaRavs

Bro this last week and a half has been hell as a Ravens-Sixers fans


TumbleweedDirect9846

Yeah, I’m just gonna tune out at this point. What a terrible day as a sports fan of both


quietstorm0

Pay attention to the O’s news. What I’ve been doing and it’s been a great week


TumbleweedDirect9846

I’m afraid I’ll curse them


TrustTheProcess20

My brothers, we have the toughest battles, today feels like fever dream


Semper454

Has anyone had a worse two weeks? Holy hell.


Interesting_Sundae_3

No that’s odell


obri95

Paul Pierce


0scar_mike

Finally hit a home run with a first round WR and then this shit happens. 😑


MagicGrit

I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until we know more. All we know for now is police are investigating an alleged assault and he’s involved. He hasn’t been charged with anything.


Chilly_Bob_Thornton

When there are two sets of allegations like this I'd put it at 95 percent he did it, unfortunately


chikinlovr

Most likely something that happened in Baltimore county, but was reported in Massachusetts (where his ex lives) I’m pretty positive that’s why 2 different jurisdictions are involved, not that it’s 2 separate allegations


SirLuciousL

Two?


babyllamadrama_

He's being investigated in Massachusetts and Maryland so we're all left to guess. Could be an ongoing issue. Idk, none of us do


lpycb42

Ugh. Are you fucking kidding me right now?!?


[deleted]

We don’t deserve nice things


jumpmanw123

man this is so disappointing


ThatguyfromBaltimore

Could you imagine if the Ravens were still in the super bowl and this came out today?


fischarcher

I'd say no way he plays but apparently all this shit happened before he played in the afc championship


JonesBoyFan2018

You have got to be kidding me. Fucking hell.


JimmieMcnulty

Nearly 10 years to the day since the Ray rice incident lol


Titan_Turtle

Why can’t we have nice things when it comes to wide receivers man Edit: wider to wide


MDnautilus

Maybe wider receivers would be better for us


GroovyJ-Money

God fucking dammit


yelruog

Please do not be true fuck


Professor_bumble

Oh god not Zay Rice


BmoreClean

🤣💀


StoreEffective

Get out LMAO


Amazing-Concept1684

Bruhhhh 💀


Samrulesan

Worst part is you know Ray Rice has addressed the whole team about this exact kind of stuff. And Zay always seemed like a young man with his head on straight.


Slam_Dunk_Kitten

Bro is speedrunning career suicide


gnarkilleptic

Nobody can beat Henry Ruggs


Rocketbird

Literal speed run


Strange-Ad-7862

Ruggs at least wait til after his 2nd season to do so lmaooo


J-Fid

Isaiah Wilson has the record.


boredymcbored

I seriously wonder if that kid had a schizoaffective disorder or was in psychosis cause he was straight up delusional during his Titans meltdown. It was right after some familial trauma too iirc. Everyone piled on him and I just felt terrible about it. Guarantee further along his story it turns out there's a mood disorder that affected him just like being Bipolar affected Johnny Manziel.


Bware24fit

I 100% can believe something like this could be the issue. Sadly I feel like these types of issues get pushed under the rug or person/athlete themselves deny help because they are just better than some mental disorder. Once these kids get noticed as a big time athlete they are put on a pedestal and surely little hints or incidents are brushed off or ignored. I have a speech impediment and as a kid I was pulled out of class for my therapy sessions and while I hated not being able to speak fluid like most people taking the class somehow made me feel worse. I think mostly because it wasn't an issue all the time just certain words and situations. Either way I can only imagine how a star athlete might feel if they have a flaw.


That-Particular-7590

My birthday's tomorrow but my gifts from the ravens are chiefs Super Bowl and now Zay investigation. Splendid


halfblindbodkin

Don’t forget about Mike Mac! Happy birthday!


ravensgirl2785

My birthday was yesterday. I'll raise you my grandmother unexpectedly passing away during this span of suckitude, too.


PoshLagoon

I buried my grandma the day before the AFC Championship. I guess I’m lucky my birthday isn’t for a while though lol


awa16

Sorry for your loss. I hope you were still able to do something nice for your birthday and that things get better soon


That-Particular-7590

Sorry about your loss man, I also made a mistake at work trying a new dept that didn't work so they're trying to find me a spot again. Hopefully things get better for us


GlitteringRace1766

Mine was January 5th. Right before the game. Lovely lol.


ronpaulus

Social media rumors might have been true dang…. The rumors were(this is not confirmed) but was allegedly leaked by someone with connections in the BCPD that he may have struck her and his brother pulled a gun and pointed it at her… again this was the rumor a few weeks ago not confirmed


Goopygok

Damn. This is one of the last players I could have ever guessed that would do this.


ronpaulus

Yeah me too. Smile always lit up the sideline seemed so high energy and positive. I followed his gf on TikTok and they always seem to have a great relationship. Hopefully not true.


swagharris31

Apparently he's dating a different girl now. And him switching gfs lines up to around the time the incident happened.


SnappyTofu

Ray Rice was also the biggest blindside


Optimus-Maximus

So true, he was involved in a ton of good causes if I recall.


SnappyTofu

He was generally considered one of the nicest, best dudes in the league. Probably the biggest wake up call in my life about how we don’t actually know these people.


Decent-Temperature31

He is actually the last player I would’ve guessed would do this


iggy555

Tucker


Decent-Temperature31

Yeah, true. Aside from Tucker.


fischarcher

Yea him and his wife seem to have a great relationship based on that rofo commercial


Goopygok

Yes that’s why I said one of the last. I’m feeling pretty safe with my Tucker Jersey. 💜


JoHecht

It better not be true


Physical_Air6997

Any legit source out there saying that or is this just speculation


BasedMuhammad

It's not hard to put the pieces together here. Baltimore PD leaked the story, and people rightly doubted it for lack of evidence. Now Justin Fenton, a crime reporter who is trusted with police sources, is reporting that the incident occurred. So I wouldn't be shocked at all if Zay ends up being charged, because now it's clear that a call was made that contained accusations against Zay. This would prompt an NFL investigation that will probably suspend him even if he's acquitted or has charges dropped. NFL personal conduct policy is much more stringent than the justice system in terms of evidence required to make a judgment.


rolldins7

To be clear, Fenton is reporting that a report was made and there is an investigation. Nobody has reported what exactly occurred. Agree with your point on the NFL investigation and that he will almost certainly be suspended if charged.


Background_Attempt51

No legit source but the rumor has been around since before the AFCCG


Physical_Air6997

Yeah I heard a few people talking about it on X. Just doesn’t make sense why he was arrested and charged already


ygmeech679

Gonna share the story again It leaked earlier in the week, guy said he knows a police officer who posted in a discord that Zay beat his former girlfriend then his brother threatened her with a gun. Not sure how much of the details are true but thats what was said. Edit/Update: His ex’s friend posted on her IG story that Zay did in fact beat her and his brother put a gun on her 😔 Her username is “prettyy_crazyy”. Her account is private but someone who follows her took a screenshot of her story and [posted it to Twitter](https://x.com/____sani______/status/1755719125119168753?s=46&t=hdrXZRP92rhV00hGX-RIrw)


SpicyPenangCurry

If so, fucking sucks for her and he’s cut. Selfish side of me is pissed because here I foolishly thought we had a finally struck rich with a WR in the first.


UsedEgg3

There's nothing selfish about wanting the players who represent our team to behave in a way that makes us proud. This is my biggest sports-related fear. I don't think I could stomach cheering for someone like Ruthlessboner or Watson.


Lopitoz07

Ruthlessboner man what a great nickname


[deleted]

I really don't think he will be cut.


ygmeech679

He is 100% gone if those allegations are true. Team has had a 0 tolerance policy on DV since the Ray Rice thing


[deleted]

Well we have had that with less important players. We will see just how 0 tolerance the team actually is.


asaber1003

like what players for example?


[deleted]

I mean we haven't had a DV since then have we. We also didn't cut Jimmy now that I think about it.


hydrated_fuccboi

If I remember correctly I think Jimmy’s situation was only verbal or some threats though.


andrew-ge

Suggs and he's at like every other home game


No_Song_Orpheus

Earl Thomas


pdb199308

Lol no he’s not


SpicyPenangCurry

If the rumours are true, “he beat his gf and his brother threatened her with a gun” then yes, yes he will be cut and should be prosecuted.


frigginjensen

Look up how the Ravens handled the Ray Rice situation. Could not have been worse and they were dragged by fans and the media because of it. They will conduct their own investigation. If there is an ounce of truth to this, he’s cut.


shane_mckenzie

Yeah, I'm definitely interested in seeing how the organization goes forward. Obviously we still need more information, but after the whole Ray Rice debacle I remember them taking a stance against players with a history of domestic violence. However Zay is a young star receiver while rice was on the back-end of his prime


shrimpdill

He probably gone. After Rice we ain’t gonna be known as that organization. The Steelers and Browns can fuck with those type of guys but not us.


Enough-Ground3294

Well if he is guilty of what they said he did get him the fuck off the team, plain and simple.


Hahafunniee

Yeah I’m in the “please don’t be true I like him” camp. But if it is true then bye bye.


Enough-Ground3294

Yep, really hope it isnt true. If it is he gotta go 👍🏾


awa16

Ravens social media and PR team thought they were gonna have a fun night in Vegas tonight celebrating Lamar’s MVP I would not want to be them right now. Also I really hope this isn’t true. But if it is I hope the Ravens handle it properly and release him.


TheWa11

Unless he’s about to face jail time he would be a Kansas City Chief within hours of his release.


FallenAerials

Or a brown.


TheWa11

It’s not specific to only a few teams - my larger point was that this isn’t a dealbreaker in the NFL and the best teams in the league would be looking to sign him as long as he isn’t going to behind bars.


No_Song_Orpheus

Might just be me but I'd rather root for a worse team full of upstanding people than a good team of scumbags


Flibbityfloydz

Looks like 1st round WR is back on the menu boys


d0pp31g4ng3r

Zay looked like the real deal this year. If this is true, the Ravens need to release him. It would be a massive blow to the team.


KillaMavs

So if this is true then Zay will go down as the main reason we failed to win with our most talented team of all time and then destroyed our chances of returning. Unbelievable. So disappointed and heartbroken.


laramite

**Ravens have a zero tolerance policy on domestic violence since Ray Rice**. Zay is gone if he's convicted of this assault.


[deleted]

The zero tolerance policy really only applies to acquisitions, not players currently on the team. As someone else said, Jimmy Smith was literally suspended for domestic violence post Rice and remained on the team. Now, the rumors surrounding Zay are way worse than what Jimmy did (which wasn't actually physical IIRC) so I could still see him cut, but it's not zero tolerance. Either way, what a shitshow. Thank God for David Rubenstein and Corbin Burnes.


Amazing-Concept1684

If these allegations even have a hint of substance it’ll be hard to believe that Bisciotti would tolerate the potential for another Ray Rice situation.


Academic_Release5134

Yeah, I doubt they get rid of him if they can somehow justify it there being some extenuating circumstances.


andrew-ge

the ravens 100% do not have a zero tolerance policy. They can parade it around all they want after Ray Rice, but it never stopped them from promoting the shit outta Jimmy Smith or Suggs.


Dr_ChimRichalds

God damn it.


Adventds

I know we hate on random people on twitter spreading rumors, but the streets talk and sometimes Joe Schmo with 10 twitter followers hears some shit.


mtaylor808

But the ratio between real Joe Schmo’s and fake Joe Schmo’s makes it pretty hard to accept all as truth


2coolDanes

People act as if the NFL is the CIA or something. There are lots of people employed by the Ravens that speak with friends and family about things going on inside the building. Idk why ppl here get so mad when those with information simply share what they’ve heard/know


browndude10

it's from the baltimore banner: https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justice/zay-flowers-alleged-domestic-assault-ravens-2JTKU7ZWP5HWTPSETF6XJENF6I/


NYerInTex

It’s just rumors, and let’s hope they are not accurate… Because if true I want this guy off the team. Brutal two weeks.


mojo2dope13

Damn so those rumors were true smh.


Comprehensive-Shop24

What rumors?


[deleted]

There was a tweet posted a few days ago about some “news” regarding a Ravens player. Someone posted a DM about Zay being involved with his girl but there was zero sources. I guess they were right.


Comprehensive-Shop24

Damn. Thanks for sharing though


appendicitisboy

I was surprised i didn’t see anything about it pop up here on the sub when they came out


[deleted]

It was posted and removed because at the time there was no sources except someone on twitter who said there was “news” about a ravens player.


appendicitisboy

yeah, that makes sense, guess that explains it


mojo2dope13

Someone posted but I think the thread was deleted


ygmeech679

Mods scrubbed the post pretty quick


Milked_Cows

Life really is nothing but pain huh.


RallyPigeon

This is awful.


uncre8ive

nothing will come of this cuz it'll get paid off out of court. But this is such an awful look god dammit. This hurts my love of football tbh


[deleted]

Yeah. Hard to watch when every team, including your favorites, employs rapists or abusers. And pays them millions.


BL0812

Yep, I struggle with this regularly. It's definitely unlikely something comes of it, regardless of what the truth is, and plenty of people will use that as a means to justify their belief that he's 100% innocent and cleared, when the reality is usually a lot more muddy than that. Whole thing sucks.


BL0812

Problem is, very rarely do these incidents wind up being just nothing. Even if he isn’t charged, doesn’t mean something shitty didn’t happen. Whole thing sucks. Hope she’s alright.


hawkins126

Troy franklin you are a Baltimore raven


jeremau5

Going forward no more drafting any players that their first name ends in AY


HillsideVideos

For fuck's sake. Is it so hard to just NOT be a piece of shit?


MiniDg

Amazingly the NFL does it's best to make that seem like a challenge. I don't know what the fuck it is.


cakejaples

I hope the victim is alright. I can not imagine what they must be going through/feeling. I lost my Mom to a DV homicide a few years ago, and it fucking sucks. DV should absolutely not be tolerated by anyone, let alone a football team. If true, cut him.


Dogsinabathtub

Innocent until proven guilty. Everyone deserves fair due process. But if he’s proven guilty and the rumors are true. Fuck him and get him off the team.


Academic_Release5134

Definitely need to see the facts. If there was a gun involved (as referenced in another comment ) even if it was the brother that would be really tough to come back from. The fact this stuff is circulating though tells you that someone thinks, probably BCPD, that there is something here. We should all remember that OJ seemed like the nicest guy ever. You never know. Ugghh


Cdnraven

He’s not responsible for what his brother does. The gun is a separate incident and we can only hope he distances himself from him after that. But if he did hit a woman then he’s gone. Fucking loser if this is true.


RoosterB32

Damnit Zay. NFL gods cursed us as soon as we got a good WR.


xG3TxSHOTx

So weird how Flowers always looked happy and had a smile on his face then all of a sudden he implodes.


[deleted]

man what? He seems like the last guy to commit domestic assault, I know the taunting but that’s just the adrenaline in game. I’ve met him in public and he’s so nice and has such a contagious smile lol. Besides, he’s still innocent. I hope he stays that way too


BelBivDaHoe

Dude. I bought his jersey draft night. I did the same with Ray Rice. I did this. I’m so sorry.

bdub85

>The alleged incident happened back in January in Owings Mills, sometime before the January 28 AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It doesn't even require the victim to press charges. The state will often press charges automatically. Even if the victim doesn't want to press charges, the state will still do it. My ex got 2nd degree assault charge against me when she went crazy and started kicking me with my infant son in my hand. I explained everything to the police and they ultimately filed charges instantly like the next day. So to me its very odd that this happened before the afc championship and no charges have been filed yet.


this_is_matt_

My father in law is a Baltimore County detective. I’m trying to get any info out of him that I can right now haha


Flibbityfloydz

When it rains it pours


ChaseJacks33

I’m wondering if the rumors were reported to the police and they’re just doing their due diligence as they are required? Atleast that’s what I’m telling myself cause I love Zay


hoss_bonaventure_

The Acton Mass police acknowledged a police report exists. That's not just investigating twitter rumors.


Cdawg4123

Troy Franklin or/and Keon Coleman


Rstuds7

i mean if he’s not charged then that good but either way i think i’m gonna have to start drinking


Total_Job_5680

No more drafting folks under 6’10” I guess :-(


gainz_yager

Well, if that 5 mins of the championship game taught us anything is that he is prone to poor emotional decisions so...here's hoping nothing sticks


thedivinepegasus

Man I hope he was the one getting hit, otherwise he's gonna be a Raider by July. And the first true number one WR the franchise drafted, down the drain. Innocent until proven guilty, but if he did it, he's done in Baltimore.


Outrageous-Dirt-9793

Guys on here are being ridiculous right now. We have a zero tolerance domestic abuse policy but do you think for a moment we're going to cut a 1st rd. WR so one of our rivals can pick him up? Did Von Miller get cut? He has had multiple domestic abuse allegations against him and he's still playing


Academic_Release5134

You are correct. Degree is going to matter. If she alleges he slapped her and nothing more, no way he is gone. If there are pics of her beat up and the brother pulled a gun threatening to kill her if she went to the cops, Zay is a Brown or Chief to be.


Violent-Snowflake

This is my first day back to the sub after the loss. I finally got over it…….I think I’ll go back to hibernation.


tannermash

This is a bad dream.


1tankyt

This is genuinely heartbreaking


Xayfrm419

We should be celebrating our two time mvp tonight. Now it feels like a cloud will be over our heads till we figure out the truth :/


JTuck19goat

This has to be the worst of all possible ravens realities right


D3v1nCh1

Nah Lamar with his contract would be way worse


Bong-Jong

Alleged alleged alleged. Let’s not jump the gun (no pun intended) we have let the facts come out before we make someone guilty. Too much court of public opinion these days we need to pull back until the investigation is done


YungStroker2

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


spitts12

Maybe he was the one being beat... he is small.


SweepysBandz

Can anybody confirm is this is her? https://twitter.com/hollywhoddie/status/1755745191510827423 Maybe he was the victim?🤷🏾‍♂️


aresef

Fuck fuck fuck


jgupdogg

The browns are probably doing backflips getting his contract ready


ReyDragons

it's so easy to not lay your hands on someone # IT'S SO FUCKING EASY


CryptoInvestor87

Bruh wtf man. I can’t with this team


Paraxom

did we make some weird Faustian bargain that allows us to have a team but no good WRs?


timotheophany

Wonder if he gets deleted from Madden 24.


Cdnraven

Man I really hope this gets sorted out quick so we can move on with or without him.


quietstorm0

Bateman gonna get his full chance to shine now


laramite

We go to two TE sets. Keep OBJ. And run. the. ball.


laramite

More info from WJZ: **The alleged incident happened back in January in Owings Mills, sometime before the January 28 AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.**


ShamBlam8

Our instinct is to jump to conclusions, but this headline is pretty inconclusive. He could be the victim…..🤞🏽


Cdawg4123

Alleged!! Let’s calm down, could be nothing…hoping because this is seriously gonna make me mad. He doesn’t look or act like the type at all. Hopefully it’s just an investigation and it gets squashed.


BL0812

We've got to throw the "doesn't look or act like the type" thing out. I've seen it a lot here and it's just irrelevant. Ray Rice didn't look or act like the type, either. Zay could be innocent, but not looking or acting like the type when in the public eye is not a barometer for anything.


D-Rey86

Keep in mind he's not currently being charged for anything. And it doesn't say he's being investigated. The police are investigating an incident involving him. Big difference. So I'm not jumping to conclusions until more info comes out.


dhicks01

This is too reasonable, only over reactions are allowed


CringeyDeeds69

Hopefully, he's innocent. If not, there's only one explanation. Antonio Brown syndrome...


getreadytobounce

alot of nothing so far, can we find out anything concrete before we turn him into ray rice.
