Rivera Deactivated Hardy Himself

[Black]

Heard it on the radio.  Also said he would be active the rest of the year.  No idea why he did it for one game.

 

EDIT:  Others are saying he did not say that Hardy would be active the rest of the year.

"said he would be active the rest of the year"

 

Calling bullshit on this.

I'm sure he had some help with this choice.

Saving him for the SB.

I saw this breakdown posted on Reddit.  Thought it was a good argument in regards to Hardy's innocence. 

 

 

Consider the following:

• Aside from the girl, the only witness attesting to her version of events is a neighbor in the building who admitted she saw nothing and only heard a lot of banging and screaming.

• The cop on the scene saw nothing and the girl avoided him entirely as she admitted she was carrying cocaine and was both inebriated and doped up at the time.

• Hardy placed his own 911 call asking for a police response

• Only days before, Hardy had maneuvered to have the girl's crap taken away form his house by tricking her into going to Miami

• The friend who came with the girl testified on Hardy's behalf, specifying that the accuser told her that she wanted to get back at Hardy for kicking her out of his place

• The North Carolina judicial system is a fuged up railroading calamity. The entire reason Hardy was "found guilty" is because to keep poor people from having their rightful jury trials the state forces cases to go through a bench trial first, and then only people who can afford appeals actually get their due process with a jury. THIS IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION

• There's no actual physical evidence of an assault taking place. Bruises can be self-inflicted or caused by engaging in offensive fighting; aside from that, there's no eyewitnesses or video or pictures substantiating the claims in question.

• The judge in this case is a renowned member of anti-domestic violence organizations, and she could not be trusted to be impartial as she specifically requested to adjudicate the case

• The judge herself admitted the only reason she found Hardy guilty was because of the testimony of the neighbor who didn't see anything, saying that she had nothing to gain by her actions. SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

• What the girl accused Hardy of ranged from getting her arm stuck in a toilet lid to being thrown onto a bed of assault rifles to getting her arm broken to miraculously her arm is fine and it was really her shoulder that he broke to OK the shoulder's fine, I just have some bruises your honor. . .

Probably got nagged about the whole thing all week and decided to do it last minute and to give another week to decide a course of action. If he is serious about activating him the rest of the season then he probably realized during the game we really need Hardy.

What does that even mean? He pressed a button and deactivated him?

[FootballMaestro]

However it happened. Come to think of it; maybe it wasn't so bad a decision.

 

Just think of the media firestorm, drum roll that would take place, leading up to next weeks Sunday Night game.

 

if you thought it was intense today/this morning, and it was. Just think about what it would have been at 2-0, leading into next weeks Prime time game.

 

Could have been a major distraction. Now it's out the way.

 

 

[nosuchthingasapanther]

at the end of his presser on panthers.com he says he has no idea on the timetable for hardy's return.

[Kevin Greene]

Not sure why one game is logical except Ron thought he was giving his own punishment to Hardy and setting an example to the rest of the team.

Yes. 

 

He pressed a button. 

[FugginPoo]

[SuperJTheGreat]

[LUUUUUKE]
