Blackout Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 UPDATED: Saints released statement about the incident at 3:15 p.m. CT Embattled New Orleans Saints linebacker Junior Galette, already scheduled to meet with NFL officials at the league office in New York later this month about his off-field conduct, could have more trouble on his hands. In a YouTube video titled "Spring Break 2013 South Beach Brawl" and published March 25, 2013, Galette strikes a woman twice with a belt in the midst of a scuffle. The melee was recorded and posted by an onlooker. The Saints were aware of the video and sent it to the NFL office. "We were made aware of the video and we sent it to the league office," Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said. "There is a process this will go through at the league-office level and we are waiting on that to be determined." The NFL had no comment on the video. Galette's agent Alvin Keels did not respond to requests for comment. The video opened with Galette, wearing a white shirt, white shorts, white shoes and sunglasses, fighting a man and then whipping him with a belt. As the fight broke up, Galette wildly swung his belt at onlookers. At the 14-second mark of the clip a woman wearing a swimsuit top and green shorts approached Galette, who again swung his belt, striking her at least twice. One of the onlookers shouted "You're going to jail!" as Galette was escorted away. Galette reappeared at the 1:18 mark of the video without sunglasses and shoved several people before throwing a punch as two others fought. The recording lasts 1:44. The beach fight is the latest incident in a turbulent offseason for Galette. Galette, 27, was arrested for simple battery involving domestic violence on Jan. 5 at his home in Kenner after a 22-year-old woman called police and alleged that Galette beat her. The charge against Galette was dismissed Feb. 19 after Kenner city attorney Mike Power said interviews with witnesses cast doubt on whether the alleged victim was a member of the household. Domestic violence charges can only involve persons in the same household, he said. The woman filed a civil suit the same day. The woman's lawyer, Joe Raspanti, withdrew from the civil suit in late March and there has been no subsequent movement in the case. Galette addressed the media for the first time Wednesday to discuss his offseason arrest. He apologized to Saints fans for the way he conducted himself since the end of the 2014 season. "Really, at this level, you can conduct yourself as good, as choir boy as you want, sometimes the trouble comes to you," Galette said Wednesday of the January incident. "In that situation, there was nothing I could do. Everything, if I could do it all over again, there's not much different that I can do as far as what this person wants for me out of my life. "You really don't know what are the warning signs for that. If somebody's going to cross you and try to take everything you have, basically, but it is what it is. I've learned my lesson, and I just want to play football again. That's all that matters right now." The NFL recently implemented harsher penalties for violating its personal conduct policy with the rash of high-profile cases involving players such as Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy. Rice, who was seen on video punching his then-fiancee in a casino elevator last offseason, originally was suspended by the NFL for two games but was then released by the Baltimore Ravens and missed the 2014 season. He currently is not on a team. Peterson, who pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor reckless assault involving the discipline of his 4-year-old son, missed much of the 2014 season after being placed on the commissioner's exempt list. The Minnesota Vikings' running back has since been reinstated. Hardy was found guilty of domestic abuse but had the charge later dismissed because the accuser wouldn't cooperate. Hardy, a former Carolina Panther, signed with the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason. The NFL suspended him for 10 games in April. According to the NFL's revamped conduct policy put in place Dec. 10: "A baseline suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, other forms of family violence, or sexual assault, with consideration given to possible mitigating or aggravating circumstances." Also from the updated conduct policy: "If you are convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding, you are subject to discipline. But even if your conduct does not result in a criminal conviction, if the league finds that you have engaged in conduct (prohibited by the policy), you will be subject to discipline." The Saints invested heavily in Galette just before the start of the 2014 season. The team rewarded him with a four-year contract extension worth up to $41.5 million after Galette tallied 12 sacks in 2013. Galette, who joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2010, has missed much of the offseason workouts the past few weeks after sustaining a pectoral injury while lifting weights at the team facility. http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2015/06/2013_video_emerges_of_saints_j.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Apparently his agent tried to pull the "That's not him in the video, you generalizing racists" card, but then someone looked at Galette's Instagram and found a pic of him and those dudes posing with the Henny bottles, same outfits, sunglasses, etc, from the day that video was taken.

It'd be great if the NFL could hold agents accountable for their questionable conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bite, scratch, pinch and pull. Maybe that is how younger men fight these days too. Even if you beat her in a fight, you will most likely lose in court.

JetsRay Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The real travesty is the epidemic of taking of video in portrait mode by the populace. The real travesty of that video is the human animal scum in our society that have no ******* clue how to act and behave in public. I mean that video is disgusting, who the hell acts like that? Black, white, purple, Asian, Indian, this world has a part of society that is just completely ****ed up with no morals and integrity. As a responsible member of society, who gives back to my community, pays taxes, served my country, and enjoys the responsibility of being a productive member of society with the discipline of how to behave, I can't emphasize how disgusting that video truly is. And it's an NFL player? That is just secondary for me, yeah, it adds to the level of disgust, but holy crap that video is just an embarrassment to our society.
