More Dirty Play By NFL's Dirtiest Player
Known for his dirty on field play, the Detoit Lions' defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, received yet another fine after being suspended for stomping on Aaron Rodgers this past weekend. Although this time, Suh was able to get his one game suspension overturned by the NFL appeals officer Ted Cottrell.
With this case, Ndamukong Suh was be given a fine of $70,000. Many believe this was yet another dirty play by Suh. He's been known for his incidents ranging from dirty hits, ripping off helmets, kicking guys in the men's section and stomping on defenseless players.
Over the course of Ndamukong Suh's career, he has been fined 8 different times, racking up a sum of $216,875 and leaving him to be known as the National Football League's dirtiest and least liked player.
Suh, in an interview with XM Radio last year said, "I think I’ve definitely grown up quite a bit just understanding that if you’re not growing up, you’re just moving backward. I’m a person that always wants to move forward, always want to grow and learn and not be the smartest person in the room, because when you’re not the smartest person in the room, you’re always learning things. I’m a learner." These kinds of statements mixed with his recent actions, don't leave the sports world feeling that Suh has changed or will ever.
After this suspension, a few of Suh's teammates came to his backing. They claimed that Suh, "was a changed man, he hadn't caused any trouble this season and that he had been abiding by the leagues rules this season up until this point." -Washington Post
As the NFL's two time dirtiest player, Suh must learn to channel his anger and frustration from his personal life into good clean legal play. Actions like slamming a lineman's head to the group repeatedly and stomping a quarterback's ankle who's known to have lower leg injuries prior to the game, won't cut it if he wants people to opinions to change.
