At a time when their former Florida teammate is facing a much more serious criminal trial, NFL offensive lineman Maurkice and Mike Pouncey soon will be standing trial in a civil case arising from a 2014 brawl at their birthday party.
Per multiple reports, the trial against the twins starts on March 6 in Miami-Dade County. The case brought by Ricquan James and Niya Pickett claims that the Pounceys and their security team beat the plaintiffs and subjected them to homophobic slurs. Among other things, the lawsuit specifically contends that Steelers center Maurice Pouncey (pictured) punched James in the face and said that James “was ruining his party by acting gay.”

Well good thing he gets paid elite money to not play.
 
Another reason to look at Mangold as an insurance policy.

I don't see why this civil case would be of any concern? Even if they lose the case I don't see Pouncey getting suspended overa civil case. f I recall this case was shakey at best and seemed like someone just trying to get paid by sueing an athlete.
 
Yea if they were to get suspended, it would have been when it was considered a criminal case.

Now that it has been demoted to civil, it is even more apparent that it's a money grab. Criminal indicates that laws were broken. Civil implies that someone was slighted and should be compensated monetarily.

This was always a cash grab. Crazy that it has been damn near 3 years since this happened.
 
I wonder if these people were also part of the lawsuit against Red Bull, claiming the beverage did not give you wings.

At the 2013 edition of their birthday party, which happened not long after Aaron Hernandez was arrested for murder in Massachusetts, the Pounceys created a stir by wearing “Free Hernandez” hats. While the Pounceys faced no criminal charges, the lawsuit could end up being far more costly than whatever they have incurred in legal fees — especially with a standard of proof that is far less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
