Has Voth changed his opinion of Hardy's future?

If your work sends you home for a year with total pay would you see it as punishment?

 

The NFL is not an average workforce.

I was a basketball player. I didn't go pro but all I wanted to do was play basketball. That was my first love. Take that away from me I would cry like a baby.

It is like saying if someone took you first born child but paid you for it you should be happy about it cause you got paid

Didn't look like Hardy was having too bad of a time this year....

ac·quit

free (someone) from a criminal charge by a verdict of not guilty.

"she was acquitted on all counts"

synonyms: clear, exonerate, find innocent, absolve;

Is that not essentially what happened? They knew they didn't have anything against Hardy so they did not have to render any kind of verdict because the case was dropped. He was not charged with a single crime.

[TN05]

I know he's not going to be a Panther...........and that he will probably be suspended.. I just think the new system is BS.   A he said/she said incident can turn into a player being off the field for close to a season and a half. 

 

It's not a he said/she said to feminists. It's a 'she said/he lied', regardless of evidence.

[teeray]

The nfl doesn't take such things into consideration sadly.

A judge might

This will end up in a courtroom if they suspend him

So someone needs to be acquitted to not be suspended?

It's well within the right of the NFL to suspend Hardy if those transcripts show misconduct.

You don't like it, I don't like it, but it's reality.

Greg Hardy was not acquitted in the court of law. 

 

The charges were dropped because the accuser and state's main witness was allegedly paid off to not testify against him. 

 

 

In the eyes of the law and the State of NC, it was like he was never charged.

 

In the eyes of the NFL, obviously something went on, and in the light of what they went thru after the Ray Rice situation, I'm sure they'll want to make sure they know what went down (to the best of their ability) and possibly suspend Hardy, if nothing else, for being a dumbass...

Ben Roethlisberger was suspended without ever being charged. 

 

Honestly I imagine the NFL can suspend someone even if they are acquitted.

The dumbass part I most definitely agree with. In my opinion it sounds like Holder is the one that was lieing the entire time. Let's remember Hardy is the one who called the cops. If you assaulted someone are you going to call the police or would the person being assaulted call them? I truly believe if Hardy did do anything to her it was miniscule.

[teeray]

You can't reach a settlement in NC that is conditioned on a victim not testifying or not appearing in court.

The DA left that part out when he was trying to manipulate the press (successfully apparently)

[CelibatePimp]

The NFL will find it hard to discipline Greg as things stand now. No conviction and an uncooperative witness. Suspending him will basically amount to a witch hunt.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't know why people keep thinking the courts or the government or someone would intervene to keep Greg Hardy from losing money.

He's part of a collective bargaining agreement. As long as the rules of that legal agreement are followed, what basis does he have to claim unfair treatment?
