Assaulted at work lawsuit

Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs , on trial for assaulting and coercively controlling an ex-girlfriend, told a UK court Wednesday that his record of one sending off in a 24-year career showed he was not prone to violence. Taking the stand at Manchester Crown Court for the second day running, the former United and Wales forward broke down in tears as he described spending a night in the cells as the "worst experience of my life". Giggs denies physically assaulting former partner, PR agent Kate Greville, and her sister nearly two years ago. He also denies controlling Greville during their rocky years-long relationship. Giggs claims that injuries sustained by Greville were an accidental result of a three-way tussle between her and her sister over a mobile phone. The former winger admitted he "may have caught her and her sister", but that his playing career showed he was not violent.

Our summer scouting series has reached its final stop, as we will be breaking down the top 2023 prospects in the Adidas 3SSB circuit for the rest of the week.

His best potential lies on the defensive end of the floor, where he is already a high-level rim protector who can block shots on and off the ball.

Getty Images Appeals officer Peter Harvey continues to delay his decision in the Deshaun Watson case, apparently not because he’s undecided or procrastinating. Harvey is believed to be waiting to see whether the league and Watson can work out a deal. The possibility of settlement remains viable, we’re told. Currently, it could go either way. As such things usually do. But this one truly falls into the toss-up category. We’ll wait and see if the NFL and Watson can find a middle ground. Watson’s sudden turn toward remorse is surely part of the effort to negotiate a better outcome than the one he’d otherwise experience. It’s hard to regard this belated awakening as authentic, given the months of doubling down and reciting talking points about never harassing, assaulting, or disrespecting any woman. Then there’s the fact that his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has publicly said he believes all of the women making accusations against Watson were lying. So was Hardin just lying about all … [Read more...] about Settlement remains very possible in Deshaun Watson’s disciplinary case – ProFootballTalk
