I'm going to respectfully disagree here with giving Chiefs credit. Seems like they released hm because he lied to them, not because he assaulted a woman for not sleeping with a friend of his.
This is a fine post. I’m not going to push back at you.
Upthread, in scripted quotes, I provided my account of how I think this went down. The NFL is the new Mob.
I still give them credit because the real gangsta move here is to keep him, walk him to the Commissioner’s office on Monday, plea out, and have him back in uniform for the postseason. There is nothing preventing it; he wouldn’t draw more than 6 games.
And let’s he honest. If he were a Patriot, some here — not the majority, probably, but some — would be advocating that approach. They’d say he didn’t knock the woman out like Ray Rice; they’d say she called him the N-word; they’d cite an otherwise clean record. People get where they want to go, somehow.
The day Aaron Hernandez was arrested for murder is emblazoned in my memory. I was with you all here. Somebody posted after Kraft immediately cut him — “massive overreaction.”
PS ... I am watching the Big 12 Championship game on ABC. Have been all afternoon. Still nothing about Hunt on the crawl. Under NFL News, the crawl reports that the Ravens sent one RB to the IR, activated another.
