Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott threatened to sue
Sports Illustrated on Monday after the popular magazine ran a
column online with a headline that read, �Ezekiel Elliott
Forgets to Log Off, Admits to Being High on Twitch: Traina
Thoughts.�
Written by sports media columnist Jimmy Traina, the opinion
article was published in response to a video that went viral on
Monday in which Elliott said he was �low-key faded,� which is
slang for being under the influence of alcohol and marijuana
simultaneously.
�Actually I was referring to the few drinks I had which I said
during the live stream. Doesn�t that make this defamation? You
guys will [be] hearing from my lawyers @SInow,� Elliott tweeted.

FRANCHISE
Before logging off Twitch, a popular video game streaming
platform, Elliott made the �faded� comment after appearing to
forget to log off right away.
�Bro, I�m low-key faded,� Elliott said while looking at his
phone, before turning to his computer and realizing, �Oh no, I
didn�t even end my stream yet.�
Elliott in a series of tweets went after the magazine, which has
been gutted by layoffs in recent years.
�I expect that from little gossip site but Sports Illustrated?
REALLY?� Elliott wrote.
The story was deleted after Elliott�s backlash. Traina also
deleted a tweet from his account, which mentioned the story.
While Traina did not expressly write that Elliott admitted to
being under the influence of marijuana, he wrote, �After wearing
a mask and social distancing, the most important thing in life
to remember is to always make sure you are logged off before you
start riffing,� which was an apparent reference to smoking weed.
