Statement from the Panthers

[tiger7_88]

Is Hardy a convicted woman beater? No. Calling him one is now defamation

 

Cool.

 

Gonna be fun to see Hardy and his lawyer sue the local abused women's shelter in whatever city his next team is located.

[tiger7_88]

Are you talking about the first time he was accused of rape or the second time?

 

So you're saying that innocent is NOT innocent?

 

If you are charged twice and not convicted, you are less innocent than if you are only charged once?

 

Interesting theory...

[PandaPancake]

Someone here really likes to rub it in that they're right...

[Khaki Lackey]

If they try to suspend Hardy the NFLPA will have a field day with that.

No they won't. Hardy got screwed all season long and the NFLPA did jack sh!t.

I didn't say he wasn't innocent. I am just wondering which time he was accused of rape did he get suspended. The first time or the second time in those 18 or so months

[Pimpdaddy]

It's unfair to Hardy if he is suspended again.

 

...its unfair he ripped Jer for 13 large...

[Mr. Scot]

I think the whole 'innocent' vs 'not guilty' discussion has been had here before.

[Gin and Juice]

So you're saying that innocent is NOT innocent?

If you are charged twice and not convicted, you are less innocent than if you are only charged once?

Interesting theory...

No, it means you are an idiot bringing habitual bad press. 6 game suspension is fair! Rape, that's a lifetime ban

Hahahaha, I really wish we could put the commissioner on the commissioner's exempt list. This entire situation has been bs from the beginning. I am still furious.

You can blame that on the nfl.

[MCC]

A settlement outside the court does not equal guilt and it would be wrong/unfair for the NFL to view it as one.

Well, that would be an interesting point to know, but why should it matter?

 

If the NFL can arbitrarily decide that your "conduct has been detrimental" after two accusations of which you are not found guilty, is it really any less arbitrary to decide that your "conduct has been detrimental" after one accusation of which you are not found guilty?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Wrong.

 

The NFL is a business and as a business has a right to protect its image.

 

They can't FORCE Hardy and his lawyers to reveal the terms of any settlement, that is true.

 

But they can use their power to prevent him from being part of the league until he reveals all the facts of the case he was involved him.  That settlement is the one document that would reveal the facts of the case as AGREED BY BOTH PARTIES.

 

Even if Hardy settled for, I don't know, 5 freaking million dollars, that is not evidence of guilt. You and everyone else understands that right? Maybe he wanted to shut her up or maybe, just maybe, he wanted to end this and focus on getting on with the rest of his life and career.
