ESPN analyst NFL, Mina Kimes, called into question the “Fawning” language used in the Ravens declaration announcing the release of the veteran Kicker Justin Tucker, who was accused of inappropriate behavior – including sexual fault – by 16 massage therapists from the Baltimore region.
“Was this tone necessary?” Kimes declared in a quote tweet on the Ravens declaration on Monday.
When an X user responded in the criticism of his post, Kins provided an additional context of his opinion.
“Me: Hey maybe do not look back to rent the incredible resilience of a guy accused by 16 different women of sexual misconduct,” tweeted kimes on Monday evening.
“You: Oh, are you asking for the death penalty?”
The Ravens announced on Monday that they would separate from Tucker, who has become one of the biggest boots in the history of the NFL during his 13 seasons with the team.
The declaration made no mention of allegations, which Tucker denied and his wife described as “false” and included very positive statements on the 35 -year -old man.
The director general of Ravens, Eric Decosta, previously called the “serious and worrying” allegations and said that the team would make its decision on the basis of the NFL investigation.
“Sometimes, football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of these cases. Given our current list, we have made the decision difficult to release Justin Tucker,” Decosta said in the press release.
“Justin has created many important and unforgettable moments in the history of Ravens. His reliability, concentration, conduct, resilience and extraordinary talent have made him one of the best booters in the League for more than a decade. We are grateful for Justin’s many contributions while playing for Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the best of this next chapter in their lives. ”
Kimes thinks that the team could have retreated on the praise of Tucker’s career given the allegations, in particular the exhibition of its penis and brush it against two massage therapists.
“There is a vast spectrum between the workforce on someone and singing the praises of a guy accused by 16 different women of sexual misconduct,” tweeted kimes to a user questioning his opinion.
Some had wondered if the Ravens would have moved away from Tucker, whatever the allegations, since he had by far the worst year of his career in 2024, offering only 73.3% of his kicks, and it had been planned to wear the highest kicker.
Tucker had never finished less than 82.5% for a campaign.
When two other NFL analysts referred to the wording used by the team, perhaps influenced by the fear of contempt for the NFL Players Association, Kimes agreed that the team would probably have moved from Tucker, but then called Decosta for its wording.
“I do not question the Football decision aspect – I think that Gregg (rosenthal) of NFL.com is correct – Marso The Fawning language of EDC (Decosta)”, tweeted kimes.
A user responded later to Kimes in accordance that the team could have been “shorter” with his answer and perhaps really tried to “sell” the difficulty, to which she replied how she could have taken place.
“” Was a football decision. Had an incredibly productive career. ” Easy!” Kimes posted.
The Ravens chose Tyler Loop outside the Arizona in the sixth round of the NFL draft last month and it is online to replace Tucker.
