NFL: Greg Hardy won't be reinstated because he hasn't been disciplined yet

[t96]

The entire situation is bullshit

 

He never should've been arrested in the first place.

Bad things happens when you hang with shady people.

This is parenting 101 and I'm not even a parent. This is just common sense

Hanging out with "shady people" is not a crime and it is not something that justifies being suspended by the NFL.

[Jeremy Igo]

You are completely missing the fact that he was PAID for all 13 games that he did not play last year.

So NO....he really has NOT been disciplined yet.

The NFL needs to get moving and suspend Greg for anywhere from 2-6 games and get this resolved.

Join me in giving up. It's nice.

[CelibatePimp]

He has not been punished but exactly what is the NFL going to punish him for? Please support your post citing a specific code he broke in the NFL code of conduct.

Obviously it's not but saying he shouldn't have been arrested is childish and not facing reality. You CHOOSE your friends and acquaintances

When a police officer is cited for unlawful search and seizure, harassment, false arrests, incidental harm, etc they get a paid vacation as a form of punishment.  How is it punishment for a police officer but not an NFL player?  Especially when you are trying to play to get a future contract and have time limited career.

Thou shall not stick thy dick in crazy

And give them your real name and/or allow them to know where you live.

How in the world did you come to that conclusion?

While criminal activity is clearly outside the scope of permissible conduct, and persons who engage in criminal activity will be subject to discipline, the standard of conduct for persons employed in the NFL is considerably higher. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful. Persons who fail to live up to this standard of conduct are guilty of conduct detrimental and subject to discipline, even where the conduct itself does not result in conviction of a crime. Discipline may be imposed in any of the following circumstances:

Criminal offenses including, but not limited to, those involving:

The use or threat of violence; domestic violence and other forms of partner abuse; theft and other property crimes; sex offenses; obstruction or resisting arrest; disorderly conduct; fraud; racketeering; and money laundering;

Criminal offenses relating to steroids and prohibited substances, or substances of abuse;

Violent or threatening behavior among employees, whether in or outside the workplace;

Possession of a gun or other weapon in any workplace setting, including but not limited to stadiums, team facilities, training camp, locker rooms, team planes,

buses, parking lots, etc., or unlawful possession of a weapon outside of the workplace;

Conduct that imposes inherent danger to the safety and well being of another person; and

Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL players.

? The conclusion that Hardy put himself in this situation? That hardy was hanging with somebody coked up out of her mind? You hang out around people doing drugs bad things happen. The fact he let her inside his apartment? Do you know how law enforcement works? How could he not see this coming a mile away

How in the world did you come to that conclusion?

if a woman is truely beaten and calls the policevyoy dont think the man should be arrested for her protection? It sucks if you are innocent but I think its pretty reasonable for protection of a very real and common problem.

Wow. So doing something that's not criminal at all, means he should've been arrested? Do you also think girls that dress skimpy should get raped and that anyone who thinks they shouldn't get raped is "childish and not facing reality?"

Yes if a woman who is TRULY BEATEN calls the police, the man should be arrested. But that's not the case. The cops there found nothing to indicate that Hardy hit her, and didn't even arrest him when they arrived. And HARDY HIMSELF called the police, not her. If there's not evidence of a crime being committed, then why in the fuging world should somebody be arrested?
