Quote:Not our job to judge. We pay him to play football, and he's served his suspension. A football team is not some kind of social justice organization.

 

That argument is complete garbage, and I'm tired of hearing it. That argument is good for mild incidents, partied a little too hard, made a mistake.. but to be a consistent problem.. to experience extreme fits of rage, to throw a woman into a pile of guns because you want to live out a kingpin fantasy, to beat another human being because you cannot control yourself? It has nothing to do with holding athletes to any higher standards, but holding them to basic standards. Standards of being a grown up. There is no place in society for it, no matter what your job description is. This type of argumentation allows it to pass. You don't keep giving these guys opportunities, just because they are great athletes. If Greg Hardy was had two career sacks and bounced around teams, not a single poster would bat an eye over signing him, but since he is talented, he gets a free pass.
