Double Standard? Ray McDonald kicked off the team, Bruce Miller not even fined! | Page 2

Garlicboy · 2015-03-16T18:15:45-07:00

I hate to bring it up negativity regarding my beloved 49ers, but am I the only one who feels that there is a double standard going on regarding disciplinary measures taken by the 49ers for players who have cases involving domestic violence and police involvement? Ray McDonald was not charged w/any domestic violence with the many witnesses at the scene of his birthday party. Weeks later, he gets ACCUSED, not CHARGED, of rape and he gets kicked off the team. Reports say that it was consensual sex. The girl stayed the next day and had drinks and more sex, not exactly the actions of a girl who was raped. Bruce Miller pushes and breaks a woman's phone (not sure if it's his wife or girlfriend), with WITNESSES who CONFIRMED what happened. Yet, he is not fined, suspended, nothing. It's just shocking to me. Their notoriety and popularity aboue the same. Both players are good, both not superstars, If anything Bruce Miller might be more popular because he plays offense and has scored some touchdowns. The media was all over Ray McDonald, but I haven't seen anybody hounding Bruce Miller. A free pass for Bruce Miller. I hate to bring up race, but what's the deal! Your thoughts...

He's not a wife beater. He's a girlfriend pusher.

Dude. You dont think pushing women to the ground and breaking their cell phone is wrong?

What kind of mods are we hiring these days?

Way to jump to conclusions there oakland-niner. Also, if I was actually hired, I'd be paid.

You dont mention the several other times McDonald has been in trouble, or been in the vicinity of trouble from other players.

He got cut because he continued to put himself in bad situations.

If Miller is charged for assaulting his g/f, he will be released as well. Just wait before you suggest its a race related issue.

Brian Jennings inspired our mascot, not Miller.

Fine. My bad. You volunteer on the Zone and push women on your spare time. I apologize, I didn't mean to jump to conclusions.

I ain't even trippin. No worries.

Miller should get dealt with accordingly once the process plays out. Still ongoing so that's why the team appears as though it isn't doing anything. No way they just brush this under the rug if it warrants action. The case is too public already.

This. Keep in mind that it was mentioned that the team addressed McDonald about incidents that hadn't even made it out to the media. He showed bad judgment just from the incidents that we knew about, who knows what we actually never even learned of.

its simple. macdonald got into trouble. the team stood by him even when every other team threw their players under the bus. in the end macdonald wasn't even charged. then he gets into trouble again in the same season and had to be let go.

RayMac is sueing for defamation of character. Interesting to see how the suit turns out.

RayMac being cut is starting to seem that there is something to wanting to clean it up around here.

Did it go to trial and was there a conviction?

Was this a 2nd time or multiple times like McDonald?

There is not double standard. Stuff kept happening with McDonald over and over and over inlcuding Aldon Smith crashing into trees at 7:00 am after spending time at his house. McDonald is a BAD SEED. Miller has 1 accusation which we don't even have a conclusion on yet and we don't know if it is true.
