Talk of Peterson and Rice coming back quickly...

[Jase]

...per NFLN. Trials coming to a completion and talk of compromising between time served and a full suspension.

Not a peep about hardy, SMH.

[Lumps]

Let it go...he isn't coming back.

[tiger7_88]

The difference is both Rice and Peterson's cases have been adjudicated and they have moved on.

Has Hardy?

[FugginPoo]

Hardy will never play in the NFL again, a drawn out trial for first time Misdemeanor is just a step too far!

[Snake]

Its bullshit, but its bullshit JR let happen. A owner should protect his team not the NFL.

[CRA]

Legal system is done with them.

Not with Hardy.

[Montsta]

Hardy won't be back because of a technicality. Yeah, he signed the agreement to not come back until the case was adjudicated, but that was understood to be in November. If he misses more it's his lawyer or the PA he should be mad at for not having the foresight to know the case was likely to get pushed back. It's sad because his case is less appalling than either of those two, but he truly believes himself to be innocent and isn't trying to just plea some bullshit to come back.

The NFL is not punishing Hardy by placing him on paid leave. The only ones getting punished are Panthers fans and Hardy's teammates. This whole thing makes me sick.

[chknwing]

if Hardy didnt ask for a jury trial, he would be playing already.

Don't you think it's a little unfair that rice and Peterson were charged with felonies, therefore they got faster trials and therefore shorter time not playing?

I mean maybe hardy should've been drug trafficking instead, so he could be back already.

The whole situation has now gotten completely absurd.

Did they plead to felonies?

[Jase]

Did they plead to felonies?

Can hardy plead to a felony if it gets this over quicker?

See how ridiculous this sounds?

The people responsible are the fans who are so morally righteous that they can't forgive anyone. These social justice warriors believe in excommunication and harassment and do not care about things like freedom of speech or a fair trial.And many here are no better than the people who got Hardy kicked out.

 

The same principles were in place when that audio recording of Donald Sterling was made public. The guy said some horrendous things in a private conversation and people demanded he sell an entity he was the rightful owner of. And regularly people go after the jobs of people they disagree with, that is the new form of tyranny. Rob Schneider recently lost a job doing commercials for some company because he believes receiving multiple vaccines at the same time causes autism. Of course there is no scientific evidence to support this, but should someone really lose their job for having an unpopular opinion?

 

You could make a similar argument for Joe Paterno. He followed the law in his actions but for social justice warriors following the law isn't sufficient. You have to throw on the rainbow colored cape and get on the frontlines of social justice or face their wrath.

 

In the NBA Chris Andersen was 'excused' by the Denver Nuggets when police officers were investigating him for child pornography. After a lengthy investigation it was discovered that he was the subject of an elaborate hoax. Did the social justice warriors or the Denver Nuggets or anyone else compensate him for his damaged reputation and missed job opportunities? No. Social justice warriors answer to no one.

 

When you constantly have a visceral response to everything and you believe in never forgiving anyone and you think it's productive to make any criminal ineligble to work ever again and you forego due process you are no different from those who got Hardy exempted.

 

Obvioulsy it's absurd for a player to miss more time for contesting charges than for admitting guilt. This clearly encourages players to accept guilt to make themselves eligible to play. I'm no Hardy fan. The guy is trash personified and anyone making 13 million dollars should not be dating some slutty waitress. But at the end of the day we shouldn't be encouraging guilty pleas so players can play. The punishment for hitting a woman is 6 games. The punishment for hitting a woman and denying it is 18 games. That's basically what the social justice warrior has dictated to Roger Goodell.
