The University of Washington has suspended QB Cyler Miles and WR Damore’ea Stringfellow after the two allegedly attacked people after the Seahawks Super Bowl win over the Broncos. Here are some details from the Seattle Times:
According to a police report detailing the incident, a man told police he was assaulted around 8:30 p.m. Sunday on the 2300 block of N.E. 55th Street after the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory over the Denver Broncos. The man said two suspects jumped out of a car and asked the man if he was a Seahawks fan. According to the police report, the man said “something like, ‘Yeah of course, are you Broncos fans?’ ”
The suspects then “came at” the man and “started punching (him) in the face,” according to the report. The man and a friend identified the two suspects by looking at the UW football roster online.
At least one of the football players was identified as a suspect in an earlier assault near a post-Super Bowl bonfire on the corner of N.E. 47th Street and 19th Avenue N.E. In that incident, a female victim was knocked down and had her camera damaged by one of the suspects. Both of the suspects were described as wearing Broncos gear.
If this turns out to be true, it one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in a while. I understand being passionate about your team and upset about the loss but attacking random people is way too much. Especially when they had so much to lose.
