Adrian Peterson deactivated AGAIN indefinitely

[WhoAmI?]

Well then, someone needs to MAKE A DAMN DECISION. All this bullsh*t is really getting on my nerves. Either let him play and let the legal process play out or suspend Hardy. Either way, make a decision and stick to it. All this in-between bullsh*t and speculation needs to stop.

Budweiser threatening to pull their contract with the NFL as well.

Meanwhile...

SportsCenter continues to slurp Brandon Marshall for his game against SF...

The same man who had a multi-year soap opera of multiple arrests for beating on women.

Glazer is saying Hardy is next.

 

Barnwell also speculating the same.

 

This has big implications for us, like it or not.

 

AP was already indicted by a grand jury for a felony charge. There is also photo evidence of the abuse, similar to the Ray Rice video. Hardy hasn't even had a jury trial yet. His charge is only a misdemeanor with a bunch of he said/she said "evidence." With NC's 2-tiered legal system, Hardy is still presumed innocent despite what the media says. The NFLPA would also have a case against the NFL for issuing a 6 game punishment for a case still in the legal process.

 

For the record, I think Rivera will deactivate Hardy for the next 2 games. No way you can play Hardy on SNF Primetime especially after Bob Costas' rant last week about Hardy. The Ravens game will have a huge DV narrative if Hardy were to play.

 

IMO, incomplete legal process (half way through) = half of the 6 game suspension. In another 2 weeks, the media will move on from this DV narrative raging right now. Plus, I think Addison might be better for the team right now because Hardy must be extremely distracted and thinking about a lot of things other than football.

Holy poo. That's huge. Budweiser is a massive, massive, MASSIVE sponsor.

 

Greg Hardy is probably not going to play again this season.

Again, Roger Goodell has stated many, many times, you do not have to be found guilty of anything to be suspended by the league. That's the way it goes. :/

exactly...literally NOBODY cares if you pull sponsorship from something as big as the NFL...companies will line up around the block to cut them a deal

Since when did Budweiser start caring about domestic violence?

This doesn't make any sense IMO. The punishment for DV first time offender is 6 game suspension. So, absolute worst case scenario is Hardy misses the next 6 games, right? Also, gotta remember even though Hardy's DV charge sounds graphic, it's still a misdemeanor.

 

If this were to happen, at least we have Addison for these next 2 games and we'll get Alexander back for final 4 games of Hardy's suspension. Ealy will have to step up. We would still get Hardy for both Falcons games, both Saints games, Seahawks game, and Philly game.

[lindseyj14]

This is stupid.

There are dozens of players currently playing who have actually been convicted of DV. Yet nobody cares or even mentions it. This garbage isn't about DV or doing the right thing. It's about a lynch mob of losers who get off on pushing an agenda just to get their way and bully others.

Innocent as I think Hardy is I've grown to become so sick of this whole story I've begun to dislike Greg Hardy because I associate him with this whole fiasco.

[Squirrel]

Lol this just in hours after the owners of their messageboard shut it down permanently. These owners are fuging retarded.

 

That wasn't the official mb.  It was a fan mb.

Since it took the spotlight off of Drunk Driving.
