The Greg Hardy thread....for everything Hardy related

[Spaceballs83]

Welp- there you go....

 

The Panthers just proved to all their players that they wont have their back.

 

If Greg had done what AP or Rice did, this would be a NON DISCUSSION.... End of story...

 

But they are giving the prosecution and holder a leg up by reprimanding him preemptively...  

 

What would you (as an organization) do when you have the entire media against you? It's a PR nightmare. You can go 16-0 and there would be no discussion's about the team, but instead about Hardy. MAJOR distraction. It sucks, but this is how the world runs now.

Why can we NOT stand by our guy???? Everyone who knows anything about this case knows this is all about Holder trying to extort Hardy and "get back" at him....

 

This is BS....

 

Everyone rushes to judge... weak ass feeble nation....

 

Hardy is not a child abuser and he didn't knock anyone out. Yet that is the company everyone is quick to put him in.

 

If he is found guilty then char his ass!!! He THEN deserves it!!!!

So if he's placed on this, Hardy will miss more games than Josh Brent.

As a reminder.  HE KILLED SOMEONE.  

[AKPantherFan]

Any lawyer with half an IQ will tell you that Holder will lose this case then sue Hardy in Civil court for "alleged damages"....THIS IS ALL ABOUT $$$$

Don't suspend.  Deactivate for 6 games.  He still gets paid but media gets their blood and shuts up.   After 6 games, he plays again.

After court date, if guilty, fine him 6 game checks.   If not guilty, apologize and give a big fug you to media for forcing their hand.

 

 

It wouldn't work because the media would be back after he sat out 6 games simply because his case still wasn't resolved.  By the way, if Hardy is playing before his court day, chances are he will push the trial back until after the season.  I want this stuff resolved before the season end.  I don't want to be in the playoffs, and the media is still talking about this case.  The only thing we can do at this point, is to sit him out and wait for the trial to settle the issue.

Man up or cave into outside pressure?

 

The Hardy situation is different.

 

There are no pics of Nicole holder with a black eye, or video of her being knocked out...

 

This is a money hungry ****** extorting one of our players. Why punish him preemptively before he has a chance to PROVE he is innocent.  

 

Hey man, I completely agree but since we've already proven that we are incapable of dealing with the pressure of ignoring our media masters and playing him anyway we should go ahead and hold him out so we can get him back for the second half of the season.  I would rather lose him for 6 games now and get him back than dick around all season just  for us to have to suspend him for the rest of the season.  Of course, since all established practices as well as common sense have been thrown out the window who knows if it would work out that way or not.  We may be leading Hardy to the gallows by this time next week if thats what the media demands since we've established we are too gutless to deal with them not liking us.

 

If I were in charge we would have never held him out in the first place and I would ignore all the media morons who seem hellbent on destroying my team.   I would stand by my player until I had an incontrovertible legal reason not to do so.

If Hardy is found not guilty does the hair salon that employs Holder suspend her?

You think we should sit him for approx. 10 games, go to court, if guilty, suspend another 6?  

So is a first offense DV, now a season long suspension because that's what this becomes?

poo, tell Hardy to plea guilty now, suspend him 4 more games.  Be done with it.

 

Resolution for everyone.  And Hardy get's 1/2 season to showcase his talent for next year with Oakland.

[greghardy'sAK-47]

what is messed up is there are people out there who are intelligent enough, in high enough places, to actually put out all the facts, but they are scared to stand up for what is right because the media will crucify them for standing up for the women beaters.  this whole media mob scene, nobody accountable for what they say or concerned about reporting facts, is going to ruin this country.  we are all going to be walking around like drones, too afraid to say/do anything other than what is scripted and programmed.

I would show class and dedication by standing WITH my player, I would educate the media on the situation and KILL it quick by stating that I will not address the situation until the court decides.

 

The media will get theirs regardless, they will make stuff up just to get ratings- so why even cave to them???

 

If im your boss and tell you "hey- I believe you, but you know what, I have to suspend you because I am worried about what other people think" --- your reaction is I have no spine.

 

you stand up for what you believe in!!!!

 

If they believe GH then they stand up for him and show some clout.

 

if not- you are basically saying "yeah- he did it, and is making us look bad".....

 

BS

If we sat him down with pay for 6 games and he is found guilty later on, I believe he would be suspended for 6 games without pay.

[OriginalPantherDan]

The cave-in has already begun. Hardy will soon be place on the exemption list, and won't be eligible to play indefinitely. Here it comes...the PC Train, pulling into the station, running over Hardy in the process. This will come back to haunt us, you realize that, right? Hardy will be released, found not guilty in his jury trial, sign with ATL and terrorize us beginning next year. This sucks.

Why?  The 6 games would be a punishment already.  Just fine him those pay checks. 

 

The punishment is supposed to be the players, not the teams.  

[AKPantherFan]

You know the crazy thing about all of this?

 

MY WIFE... her reaction is WTF???

 

She is not a huge Hardy fan, however she realizes the OVER REACTION  in the whole situation...

 

(then she said "p u s sy power- don't screw crazy bitches")
