MSNBC Morning Joe: Hardy, Panthers and the War on Women

[CatMan72]

Follow the moral example of the Ravens? LOL

[CatMan72]

Actually we're doing the right thing by presuming Hardy is innocent until he's had the opportunity to be judged by a jury of his peers. These are fundamental principals of our legal system, sounds like MSNBC and several others need to brush up on that.

If Hardy is suspended and found not guilty at a jury trial, he should sue the NFL for all his lost wages.

Domestic violence in the military is a much bigger problem. Where's the outcry about that?

[Peppers90 NC]

It's absurd the media is suggesting the NFL enforce the law over the actual law.

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

Hardy is going to be angry on Sunday. This is the year we need to take it all. We have two elite DE scratch that ... We have an elite D Line, an elite LB Corps, A better secondary than last years #2 D and a better offense.

I watched a documentary on rape in the military. That poo is real and no one pays attention to it. Higher ranked officers make the lives of young women (and men) hell sometimes.

Make no mistake about it, they know it, they don't need to brush up on it, they have been spending their whole careers trying to brush it aside.

Msnbc is aware.  They are also aware that domestic violence is a hot topic right now...and they get higher ratings when they fan the flames,  as opposed to stomping the flames out.

Didn't Mike Florio just do a piece a few days ago as to why the Panthers and Goodell should not act on impulse and punish Hardy?

 

 

Today it's this..

CBA or not, Panthers need to do something with Hardy

The dilemma for the Panthers and every other team arises from the time-honored double standard in sports.  Excuses are made for the stars; exceptions are made of the scrubs.  Less than two weeks ago, the 49ers trotted out terms like “due process” and “the Constitution” as cover for the simple fact that McDonald remains on the field because he’s good at football.  If he wasn’t, he’d be gone.

The Rice video has changed that presumption.  Especially for players like Hardy, who have had a day in court, even if he still gets another bite at the legal apple.  (Don’t mind the maggots.)  For that reason alone, Panthers coach Ron Rivera should exercise his prerogative to deactivate Hardy for Sunday’s game against the Lions, and the Panthers should promptly study the transcript from the 10-hour trial, investigate further as needed, and make the hard decision as to whether Hardy deserves to continue to be a member of the organization — even if the balance of his $13.1 million salary is fully guaranteed.

Meanwhile, the folks at Pepsi may be thinking about saying to the Panthers, “We know we pay you a lot of money to put our logo on your teams’ practice jerseys.  How much more would we have to pay for you to take it off of Hardy’s?”

The Gestapo must have sent him a reminder of the party line.

These morons would never pay 13 million for somebody to go home and sit on their couch but they have no problem calling on any and everybody else to do just that. How does paying Hardy millions to do absolutely nothing hurt him at this point?
