Cowboys and Jay-Z – Beyoncé’s past: Why did the league end its relationship with the controversial billionaire music mogul?-baobao

Most infamously, as it relates to the Dallas Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott, drafted to Dallas in 2016, spends 12 months fighting an allegation of wrong-doing, fueled in part by the fact that there is no police-level evidence that he ever did anything wrong.
