#Panthers Josh Norman said Hardy said he would play for free. Wants to be at Carolina.

 

If this is true, the Panthers would be foolish not to do it....... and I would be angry as h*ll at the owner if he did not allow the franchise to do it.

Ahh, Becky Thorne Tin! Nice to see you on the board here. Spreading the feminist beliefs of yours. 

Why have feminist viewpoints suddenly become a negative in society? I am for the equal treatment of women, yes.

He was still found guilty. Now the case will go to a jury trial. I have no problem at all with him being put on administrative leave. It was the right move.

 

My previous statement stands, please try to understand North Carolina law.

 

The minute his lawyer requested a jury trial following the judge's ruling, the guilty ruling by that judge is immediately set aside.

Ahh, yes, but feminists aren't for the equal treatment of men.

If he is acquitted, I would love to have him back for a resonable contract. If he is guilty it's probably best for both if he leaves town.

Exactly I don't give a sh*t what Jeremy says about 100% not being here. If he'll sign here with us for $5m for a year even (after being found not guilty) then we'd be retarded not to do it.

I agree, im not sold that "he is 100% not playing here even if found not guilty." What is the reason behind this thinking? Rivera even said in his opinion he should be allowed to come back after a 6 game absence, that tells me he wants him back. Hes not going to get paid huge money, if hes found not guilty why wouldnt we want him back? Makes no sense

Because Hardy loves money, will get offered way more than $5 million per year and isn't worth the trouble.

[PantherBoy95]

If Hardy is eligible to play next season and will take a decent contract to stay we would be crazy.

[PantherBoy95]

OP has definitely thrown a wrench in this situation...figured both sides were mutually going to part.

[JawnyBlaze]

The bitter around here over a young guy getting kitty blinded is ridiculous.  If he's found not guilty and willing to accept a deal that's appropriate to the perceived risk of future problems then there's no reason he shouldn't be resigned.

[PantherFanOne]

If Hardy is found not guilty and willing to sign for a reasonable amount,i feel we should sign him. However,the odds of him willing to sign for a reasonable amount is very,very sliim No way world would we  get in a bidding contest over him,the end just wouldnt benefit the means.

He was convicted of a misdemeanor which was immediately expunged (or whatever happened from a legal standpoint). The NFL has never expelled players for misdemeanors until they got busted by the media for not being tough enough on domestic violence once the Ray Rice video came out. And minor domestic violence issues have always warranted either nothing or a short suspension. The same media and NFL that never said a word until June of this year despite decades of consistent punishment for domestic abusers.

 

Both the NFL and media are a complete joke. Totally complacent and hypocritical.

 

Yes domestic abuse is terrible.

Risk vs reward. Most of us have never had the finances and lifestyle of Hardy. When you have everything set I just don't get this type of behavior, I get it in young people who are yet to establish themselves and aren't really sure what the future holds.

Of course he'll get a second chance. The young woman involved is fine. But sometimes that second chance has to be somewhere else. The bridge in Carolina is burned.

Burning bridges is over rated but I generally agree with a lot of what you said in this post. I hate that he screwed up this way and can't help but shake my head when I think about it because it such a wasted opportunity.

It's not uncommon for the second wife to gets the better husband because some people have to learn the hard way. I hope he learned his lesson and stays out of trouble....especially if the Panthers give him a shot at redemption.

And slavery was allowed for hundreds of years until we wised up and made it illegal. 

 

Just because something was fine for years doesn't mean it should continue that way. Domestic violence is a very serious charge, and Hardy hasn't even been punished yet from a $ standpoint. He is basically on administrative leave.
