Hardy Suspension Likely

[WOW!!]

You're assuming I'm emotionally invested in this as you obviously are. You also seem to be under the illusion that I give a sh*t one way or the other. Scot and I were simply trying to remind you of the fact that the media does not care about facts, truth or the rule of law. They, like politicians, know that the majority of the listening public will believe anything they spew and will not take the time to actually research the facts. Not one single entity with a voice that's heard by the masses gives one iota of the thought about what really happened that you keeping preaching. But you go ahead a scream to all that's Holy about the injustice being done to Hardy. Everyone else is moving on.

I'm not emotionally invested but I keep going back and forth with you on this discussion. .

At what point do you realize we're doing the same thing with different opinions??

Side note:

People don't care that Brain Williams lied about what he did in The middle East and during Katrina either...

Oh wait......

[Jon Snow]

I don't. Why should anyone? Brain Williams? Really?

[WOW!!]

I don't. Why should anyone? Brain Williams? Really?

So that doesn't totally go against your point that the media can say anything and no one will care right. .

[Jon Snow]

You win. It's your world brother so have at it. Peace!

Hardy deserves to be suspended.

[top dawg]

But it does to the Nflpa and their members. . Demorris Smith isn't going to sit by and get ran over again by the NfL..

 

That's exactly what I thought when Mr. Scot said that.  The NFL (and to a lesser extent, the NFLPA) have bestowed God-like powers to Roger Goodell, but the league's FO still has to answer to the courts---and the court of public opinion---if Demaurice Smith decides to take legal action if necessary.

 

 

On an off note, if Hardy gets a two game suspension, I think that he will probably let the whole thing go and do his time, especially if there is some tacit agreement by the Panthers that this would be palatable to them in regards to re-signing him on a one year prove-it deal.

Or did she? Much like George Zimmerman if you're a dick eventually it catches up to you.

If Goodell attempts to suspend hardy the players union should raise enough holy hell to get him removed from office, or sue his rearend off. This he said-she said case should have been dropped day one by the woman judge.

 

Since it wasn't, Hardy appealed,which meant by NC laws he was not guilty unless he was  deemed so by a jury. The accuser did not show up for the trial and because the  case was already settled out of court, it was dismissed.

 

There is no way the NFL could be dumb enough to suspend a player a number of games over a case that was dismissed,just because a person ACCUSED them of something.

 

There is no way Hardy hurt the image of the NFL, if what he was ACCUSED of was false  The NFL and Goodell are  beginnig to look more and more  inept, as  they attempt to make the public believe a player has to be a saint and live a sheltered life, for the sake of their supposed image.

 

I don't think people realize that Goodell has nothing to do with handing out  suspensions anymore or the investigation into disciplinary cases. Any suspension Hardy may or may not get will have nothing to do with Goodell. 

 

Goodell does handle the appeals of those cases so if the NFLPA appeals the ruling.....well, good luck with that because I can't see him reducing anything related to domestic violence.

Doesn't matter! Greg Hardy cannot be touched! If they even try, the Supreme Court will intervene!

At least that's what's expected here in Charlotte.

I'm not sure that some here realize that outside of Panther fandom, the rest of the country doesn't necessarily have the same kind of reverence and deference for Greg Hardy as rabid Panther fans do.

I also wonder how it's going to play here if Hardy doesn't swear loyalty to the Panthers and agree to play the next five years for nothing but the love of the game and this team.

That's because Panthers fans are probably the only ones that really give a poo to do more than just a cursory look and wilt under ignorant public sentiment. That, or we're being homers.

If much of the general population (pun intended) maligns a good guy like Cam Newton unfairly, what do you think they are going to do to a perceived bad guy like Greg Hardy?

And don't throw in all the other racial factors and stereotypes regarding Hardy and Holder. Hardy's bad decisions have left him in a pickle.

Understood.

That can actually work both ways, as is evidenced by those times when other team's fans get excited about a former Panther player or coach, but fans on here say 'buyer beware'.
