In all NFL contracts there is a “Morality Clause”.
If that clause was activated every time a player got caught cheating by his wife, 75% of the league wouldn’t exist. I think the Ravens are exploring but I doubt they can actually void his deal.
The Baltimore Sun has all the sordid the details.
After arriving at a rental home in Austin, Texas, and finding Thomas in bed with another woman, Nina Thomas told police she held his pistol to his head, Austin Police wrote in the documents. Nina said she did not think that the gun could fire, as she’d taken out the magazine. But police said the 9 mm Beretta was still loaded with one round in the chamber.
Another woman at the home later told police that she heard Earl say, “Put the gun down.” A female voice responded, “The safety is off. If you come any closer, I’ll shoot you.” Video of the incident showed Nina pointing the gun at Earl’s head in the hallway from less than a foot away, with the safety disengaged and her finger on the trigger, police wrote.
According to the charging documents, the video shows Earl flinch, duck his head and wrestle the gun away from her. The video later shows Nina strike Earl in the nose before it ends, police said.
The woman Earl was with at the rental home told police that Nina also threatened her and the other woman who was there with Earl’s brother, Seth. She pointed the gun at them and yelled, “I got something for all you hoes.” Police said the woman told her that one of the two women Nina arrived with swung a knife during the altercation, “as if to keep her at bay.”
The Austin Police Department responded to the incident about 3:41 a.m. April 13, according to the charging documents. Police found Nina, with a knife in her hand, chasing Earl, who was shirtless and had a pistol in his hand, around a car. When cops drew their weapons and ordered them to the ground, they reportedly complied without incident.
Earl told the Snapchat girl he was getting a divorce and had been dating her for two months according to the police report.
