Regarding what?

[Paa Langfart]

Yep.

 

 

considering restricting thread creation......

 

 

Owners exemption perhaps ?

[AKPantherFan]

If what Greg Hardy has or HAS not done was sooooo bad he would have been suspended back may/june...

 

This is nothing more than the Commish saying "make it go away"....

 

FU NFL... and FU media...

 

I cannot wait until the trial takes place and this BS is over and Hardy is vindicated...

 

We all know that poo wont be in the media...

[SOJA]

How did we get rid of AK before? Can someone recall?

 

 

exempt list

[JJman]

He's just angry right now. I sure as hell understand it. However, the blame should be placed on Goodell and company.

[RoaringRiot]

Regarding what?

They said the suspension wasn't coming from the team....they didn't bail out on him as the OP suggests. GMan saying that shows the opposite in fact.

Misinformed.

 

If you listened to what Gettleman said, it's pretty clear the NFL didn't give them a choice.

 

Gettleman said suspension was never an option for the team.

 

Okay, I'll admit my ignorance.  What exactly can the NFL threaten the Panthers with?  The NFL wants Greg Hardy gone.  Why don't they just handle it themselves?  Is the NFL simply muscling the Panthers so they can tell the media, "It was the Panthers' decision to deactivate Hardy, not ours."?  Seems kinda weaselly. 

[AKPantherFan]

Yep.

Thats MY point... ZERO balls by our FO...

 

Not once did they clarify their stance....

 

it basically was "we are forced into this-- it sucks-- there is no rule book"  WTFE

This team is not one guy and some of you just don't get it.This had to be resolved now or it would be a never ending circus.Hardy will be fine, he has his money that he wanted and will play again some day, some where.Time to move on..there is football to be played.

If you seen the press conference you would have realized that in essence that the Panthers FO basically say "we had no choice"-

 

DG looked visibly destraught as he appeared to not agree with the decision.

 

its very evident that the decision didnt lay with the Org and the gave in..

 

 

BITCHES..

[Mr. Scot]

There is a reason the NFL hasn't suspended him yet. 

 

I think they would have if he hadn't agreed to this.

 

Gettleman made clear that the Panthers weren't going to do it.  But with all the heat that's on them right now (even more after today's news about Brandon Marshall) they clearly want Hardy out of the spotlight.

If the NFL suspended him, it would have been without pay.  Getting him to agree to it with pay (and probably an agreement to stay out of the spotlight) works better for the league.

Saying "suspension was never on the table for us" is a pretty clear statement of their stance.

 

[Scrumtrilescent]

I know fan is short for fanatical, but some people tend to fall off into a realm of knee-jerk idiocy that I can't even comprehend.  

[WUnderhill]

Listen again. The NFL would have suspended him otherwise. So Hardy chose the option where he got paid.
