Apparently ESPN's Outside the Lines did a hit piece on Greg Hardy this morning

[Sam Mills Fan]

Anyone see it? Suddenly all of these NFL reporters I follow are calling for Hardy to be suspended.

 

This story isn't going away. I wouldn't be surprised if some women's group starts picketing games at BoA Stadium. Doesn't matter what the actual facts of the case may be.

Never thought i'd say it but.... Comeon  Cleveland Start Johnny Manziel!!!!

[BigBoss]

Please let us play him Sunday. I try not to ask for much in life. But let him play all remaining 15 games.

I say we make a list of all the other NFL players who got a slap on the wrist for domestic violence and start asking where the cutoff date is for going retroactive with suspensions.

I just posted this in another thread: I hate Greg Hardy. Most selfish, consuming, self-absorbed Panther I can think of. I have trolled him on social media before. But I'm defending him all the way on this one. Beyond even letting the legal system do its thing, I don't think Greg Hardy did it. I think Nicole made the majority of it up.

I don't think it matters whether he did it or not, or the lady was coked up (or both of them) or not

 

Right or wrong he was found guilty. That is all that people are concerned about. It isn't speculation or rumor...its a situation where the law has already spoken.

 

I dont want to lose Hardy! I want him to play the season...etc etc, but yeah I can understand why the media is honing in on him...and if he played for any other team (particularly the Saints or Falcons, few here would have a problem with the national media focus.

Saying "the law has spoken" is a fundamental misunderstanding of North Carolina law. If a jury unanimously convicts him, fine, suspend him. That hasn't happened though.

Guilty by bench trial, aka one person. No one person is impartial - we all have our inherent biases. He has the right to be tried by a jury of his peers.

These media things just waste me too much time...

Apparently some people on twitter took away that his gf was pregnant at the time. weird

Nobody cared about Greg Hardy before, during, or even after Ray Rice knocked his fiancé the F out.

They only started caring after it became cool to bash the NFL not handling the Rice situation right the first time. And the hypocrisy in all of that is they themselves didn't care about the Rice suspension until the video came out; they're accusing the NFL for under reacting when they did the exact same fuging thing.

if they picket BOA on Sundays, believe me, there will be a team with eggs launching them in their direction...

See, the key by law though is he is not guilty, his guilty sentence is "suspended" pending a trial by jury in a superior court.

 

He is not guilty until after a superior court ruling or even a higher court if he loses and they fight it harder, on grounds like jury tampering due to media influence. I think he will win a a jury trial unless they jury is hand picked by the state to specific take him down. Even if he loses I don't see him being cut, or suspended indefinitely. Maybe cut after the season if the trial does take place in november. He will eat his six games and what ever punishment Jerry has in store for him. He's really a mute point come March so...
