So, wanted to cover this seperately. Why?
Well for one, I first heard this through an email blast from Footballguys.com. Since then I have received a second blast apologizing for focusing ONLY on the football issues and not recognizing the significance(if it is real) on what happened to the woman and child.
So, first lets look at what is what:
Instagram from friend of McCoy's "girlfriend" posts a picture of the "girlfriend" in question with contusions on face.
In the instagram mentioned above - the person also states that McCoy abused his child AND abused the pet dog, AND has taken steroids.
Within hours of the post - McCoy vehemently denied the charges - AND - stated he has had no interaction with the people in question for months.
Here is my issue with this....
First - if McCoy is abusive - why go to social media? Go to the Police and file charges
Second - if McCoy IS innocent - is he a dead beat dad? He does not deny the parentage of the kid, and he clearly states he has had no interaction with those "people" for months.
Third - we don't know those pictures are recent. So what if those pictures are from months ago?
Key other thing - Buffalo has stated they are investigating. However, nothing has been stated by the NFL. For a league desperately trying to fix its look on domestic issues, staying hidden on this is not a good look.
I have no idea if this is a money grab by the friend, or McCoy is what this shows. But if you don't file legal charges, then this is basically slander.
