Dante Fowler of the
Jacksonville Jaguars apparently played the part of a referee during a fight
between two women that TMZ has identified as his girlfriend and baby mama. The
fight took place on February 1st at an apartment complex in Florida. Police
weren’t called and it’s unlikely anyone would have ever heard about this if it
the brawl wasn’t caught on a security camera.
Fowler, a defensive end
from Florida, was the 3rd pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He sat out the entire
2015 season with a torn ACL. Dante Fowler tells TMZ Sports, “I am embarrassed
and have apologized for my actions to everyone involved. As a family, we have
been dealing with this moment and the conflict that led to it since this occurred.
The video surfacing is a sad reminder that emotions got the best of all of us.
I take 100 percent responsibility for everything that happened.” The Jaguars
have also issued a statement saying, “Dante brought the incident to our
attention prior to the video being released and was embarrassed and remorseful.
Violence of this type against others is unacceptable in our society and to our
organization. We will continue to look into the incident while offering
resources and providing support to Dante and his family to help them through
this private matter.
hese same arguments. They often came in
statements following his annual signing of the Defense Authorization Act, which
consistently included provisions from Congress that would block the president’s
efforts to close the facility. In 2013, as detainees in the prison carried out
a hunger strike, Obama announced that he would redouble his efforts to close
the detention center. Last November, after signing the final Defense
Authorization Act of his presidency, Obama noted that many of the facility’s
prisoners had already been transferred out. Today, he said that only 91
detainees remain in Guantanamo Bay (which once held nearly 800) and once again
asked Congress to remove the provisions keeping them there.
