We Threw Hardy Under the Bus, but We Just Drafted A Guy With the Same Red Flag

they still dont get it...

If the video is so supportive, they should release it.

All we know for certain right now is that Worley was arrested, charged, offered no defense, accepted punishment for, and carries a conviction on his record for this event and the Panthers felt comfortable with this based on their research into it.

Come off of it already. You were wrong. He was defending his girlfriend. Get over it.

Maybe the difference between Worley and Hardy is that one owns up to the incident while the other one denies it despite evidence..

Ah thanks. 

This took place in Morgantown, West Va. Either way, carry on.

Good grief, man.  You're wrong.  Just admit it.  

Here, this will explain how the plea will still be treated as a conviction and why he likely opted to go that route due to civil implications.

There are some laws that vary state to state. This isn't one of them.

"No contest" is a plea, not a verdict.

Neither legally owned up to anything.  One guy had the financial resources to make the matter disappear and one guy didn't.

Yea man..

Judges are always right...and would never wrongfully convict a black man...death to Hardy.

Who was this directed towards?  Because its part of the reason I was bringing it up.  I never believed Hardy was guilty and there wasn't enough proof that he should have been convicted, but I believe he was profiled and is own stupidity in the past caught up with him.

But, half the people high fiving everything that our FO does wrote Hardy off, called him an idiot, celebrated his demise and departure, but are now applauding and excusing a new player accused of the same thing with video evidence accompanying his case.

Meesa have a feeling Linville didn't bother to listen to the audio. 

Some people just like having something to complain about.

Worley acknowledges the incident..he told the Panthers beforehand about the video and incident..

Hardy just did an interview recently where he denied any physical abuse despite pictures..

Legally no one copped to anything, but morally there's a difference..

Agreed. But it still can't be offered into evidence.

Maybe not all of us have the same "christian" standards as you and many others on here

I'm not talking about my values, I'm talking about our values as an organization.

We're really nitpicking here. You're right that the *plea* can't be entered into evidence. The *conviction* can, though, under most circumstances.

All of this matters not one whit, anyway.

And what's the difference between laying your hands on a woman to defend your girlfriend and laying your hands on a woman to defend/protect yourself?  What makes one better than the other?
