Panthers might deactivate Hardy?

[AceBoogie]

What if he's found innocent?

[FourthWard]

At least we have the best D-line in the league. 

 

Next man up!

Team officials uncertain of Hardy's status beyond this week.

So how long is he supposed to be deactive and get punished until we find out if he is guilty? If he is deactivated for 6 games will he suspended for another 6 if he loses the appeal? This situation is so fugged up it's ridiculous. I feel horrible that the Panthers caved to the outside political pressure.

This is a terrible decision, no doubt about it.

It's not just "outside". And it's not political.

 

You can be sure the NFL put pressure on Richardson and the Panthers as well.

 

Don't be surprised to see the San Fran player not player tonight either.

 

Is it fair? Probably not. However, they're casualties of the recent media war, and Goodell foibles.

 

It is what it is. Next man step up, please!!

It would be more fair for the a Panthers to suspend him 6 games and get it over with but to deactivate him as some form of "pre-punishment" until his actual punishment is enforced is ridiculous.

[ThinkAboutIt]

This is stupid. Do people realize that "deactivating" a player is not punishment. Infact its the total opposite, you are paying an accused domestic violence guy 13 million to sit at home on the couch. Why people dont realize this is beyond me.

So you're punishing the rest of the team instead of him then?

Stupid comment on your part.

[ThinkAboutIt]

I'm not sure we'll win this at all. The media has straight up slammed The Panthers all week. Our mindset may not be in the right place.

Fug the media.
