Quote: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.

 

1 incident…3 speeding tickets.

 

You also don't kill a dude over a single incident (especially 1 that got dropped…in the court of law he has 3 speeding tickets)…that no one really knows the full details about since it involves a coked girl and a most likely coke/drunk Hardy.

 

I sincerely hope that you never get a DUI as that is just as bad as you can kill someone just as easily.  Under your moral standards a DUI should be a career ender for NFL and the lay person correct?  Don't let them have a free pass.

 

I guess Jameis Winston just shouldn't even try to enter the NFL cause we would be giving him a pass on his "Rape" charge….you know the one that he was charged with…then it got dropped…and is now in Civil court.
