NFL analyst makes brutal allegations against Baltimore Ravens after controversial Justin Tucker statement

The Baltimore Ravens have been accused of prioritizing Justin Tucker over ‘real victims and women’ after their controversial statement announcing the departure of the scandalized kicker.

The 35-year-old was released by the Ravens after 16 mᴀssage therapists – from across eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area – made allegations of Sєxual misconduct against the married NFL star. 

Tucker denies any wrongdoing and previously branded the accusations ‘shocking and heart-breaking’. On Monday, the Ravens confirmed they had taken the ‘tough decision’ to release Tucker but the team insisted it was a ‘football decision’.

A statement from general manager Eric DeCosta made no mention of the allegations and instead heaped praise on Tucker, a Super Bowl champion who had been with the Ravens since 2012.

Several prominent sports figures questioned his comments and now analyst Dan Le Batard has delivered a brutal verdict on the Ravens’ handling of the situation. He said he was left ‘outraged’ and ‘p***ed off’ and claimed the team were ‘defending somebody as if he’s a victim’

He said: ‘They’re doing it to protect the precious kicker that no one respects – just because he’s worth three points at a time and just because that means more to the Ravens than real victims and women.’

‘We should respect women more than that,’ Le Batard said during an explosive rant on Tuesday.

‘The Ravens (were) falling all over themselves to release Justin Tucker with a hand to their head… “This hurts so much to tell you…” because it feels like Justin Tucker is the victim,’ he said. 

‘They’re defending somebody as if he’s a victim when he made others the victim.’

Among the allegations leveled against Tucker are that he repeatedly – and deliberately – exposed his erect genitals.

Two therapists claim he brushed them with his penis. More than once, meanwhile, the kicker is accused of leaving what appeared to be ejaculate on the mᴀssage table.

Tucker maintains his innocence but Le Batard claimed the kicker does not ‘deserve’ such a statement given the allegations of ‘predatory… creepy, disgusting’ behavior. 

‘No matter what it is we have to say about alleged here – (this behavior) was predatory in nature over women who were helpless in a way that’s very similar to Deshaun Watson.’

Over recent years, more than two dozen women have accused the Cleveland Browns quarterback of Sєxual ᴀssault and inappropriate conduct during mᴀssage sessions. Watson settled 23 of 24 lawsuits back in 2022 before more allegations emerged last season.

‘Deshaun wouldn’t deserve a statement of release like that right now and Justin Tucker doesn’t,’ Le Batard said.

‘What the Ravens did there was not leadership, it was not hard, they’re defending somebody as if he’s a victim when he made others the victim – and they’re doing it with a bad kicker,’ he continued.

‘They’re not even doing it with the courtesy of a player who plays actual football, respected by other football players because it’s collisions, they’re doing it to protect the precious kicker that no one respects – just because he’s worth three points at a time and just because that means more to the Ravens than real victims and women.’ 

Le Batard continued: ‘I just wish one time, one of these football organizations would stand for something… would you not like to hear one team be brave enough to work around the lawyer stuff and simply say: “We released Justin Tucker. Period…” 

‘Never mind whether you’re a good or bad kicker, what you’re accused of will knock out any kicker because it’s the kicker and we should respect women more than that.’
