This asshole should not be allowed anywhere near the NFL, what a joke.

Seriously, fuck that piece of shit Greg Hardy. It was known for a while to be a shitty situation, but reading all of that and see the pictures just makes my blood boil so much more. How does a guy like that, get away with it and then stand to make millions of dollars by playing in 12 games.

Absolutely despicable. The sad thing is nothing's going to happen to the guy over it.

If Jerry Jones had any sense of social responsibility, he'd cut him today.

What exactly do people think those pictures prove?

Something happened that night, but it really annoys me how quick people are to take one side of the story as gospel, especially when it comes to domestic violence. Holder was on serious drugs and intoxicated. Her story wasn't consistent. It's quite possible both were in the wrong. Doesn't make what Hardy may have did any better, but women always get the benefit of the doubt in these cases it seems. Especially nowadays.

The fact of the matter is, even without Holder, the courts still had a chance to convict Hardy. And they didn't. It's a weird case. I'm not defending Hardy. I'm just not going to jump to conclusions either. I don't know what actually happened that night.

Besides, this doesn't bring anything new to the table. It was already known she had sustained some kind of bodily harm.

It's the Ray Rice situation all over again. It's like people read, "Ray Rice knocks his fiancee out," and visualized it as him gently shoving her or something. The bruising on Holder was, in the grand scheme of things, minor.

Nothing is going to happen to Greg Hardy because the courts are finished with it and the NFL has no authority to, hence why Hardy won his appeal in regards to the suspension. You could hope the Cowboys release him, but that is about it. Not like Hardy is the only scumbag in the NFL though.

But to be honest, I think I just have a different perspective on stuff like this than other people do. Hardy probably is a piece of shit, but I don't let it affect my enjoyment of the game. I mean, I saw on TV yesterday someone saying, "every time you watch an NFL game, you are in a way supporting Hardy" or some BS like that. Just ridiculous. There is a lot of things about life that suck ass, but you shouldn't let it ruin your enjoyment of a game. That is just a formula that leads to living a pretty miserable life. You don't have to stop watching football to prove you don't condone domestic violence.
