Dude, no.

Just the accusation of this shit will leave a stinch he might never shake.

Any person, let alone an athlete, losing a year of their career because of something they weren’t even present for is despicable and disgusting.

Who’s to say he will even get picked up by another NFL team anytime soon?

How much did he lose in earnings that he may never recoup?

Still a civil case to complete, so maybe not until next season. And maybe not then if he loses...

Was Kobe’s life ruined by the accusation?

Terrible thing, but that is kind of my point.

Kobe got past it, so will Araiza. Call it what it is, but no need to exaggerate.

Kobe had already been in the NBA for a few years and made millions. It also cost him millions and his reputation never fully recovered. Virtually every company he did commercials for, dropped him. To this day there are people who refer to him as a rapist. How many commercials did you see Kobe in after the allegations?

This kid didn't even get to attend 1 day of training camp or get his 1st NFL check.

And we're talking about a Hall of Fame NBA player, not a punter who hasn't had 1 punt in the NFL. We don't know if anyone will give him a shot because even though he's been exonerated, teams are unlikely to want the distractions...especially for a punter.

Even if he does get signed, as @WiggyRuss pointed out, he's already lost money and at least 1 season in the NFL, that he's never getting back.

Was that the verdict? Tastes like chicken? I've never had them, but they seemed so small that they would be too much work lol.

They do taste a bit like chicken. Not exactly like it, but it's the closest comparison.

They are actually a little bigger than chicken wings. They're more tender than chicken wings.

Stop it.

Had he been convicted and spent years in prison?

Then yes.

He just had to wait a year before starting his NFL career.

Crappy situation to be sure. But his life is far from ruined.
The problem is this will be attached to him and some people will still look at him with a side eye, even though he did nothing wrong.

Dude's a punter, he's not a key position like DE, QB, etc.... where teams are willing to ignore any backlash (in this case undeserved).

In the NFL, there's a shelf life for athletes, a very limited one even for a punter. Dude lost a year of making well over 6-figures in a limited time frame.

You said this better than I did. But agreed a million percent.

he lost his job over a fake allegation

how would you feel if your reputation was destroyed- your neighbors thought you were a rapist, and you lost your job over a lie.

you are fucking delusional.
Homeboy was getting draaaaaaaaaaged through the media. At one point, I even thought he did it the way they were talking about him.

Made the Bills look bad for drafting him. I'm sure the lawyers assured them he wasn't guilty, but it takes this long to get that info out there.
