Quote:Like I said, if he wasn't good at his job, or just okay, you would use the off field issues to be a reason he shouldn't be signed,,, 

 

How is it a witch hunt? You're assuming I have strict standards on the issue and I don't.. my issue is that guys like Hardy went too far, and that's when as a moral, ethical person, you say no thanks. Stop allowing a game to be more important that being a decent person. Stop allowing domestic abuse, violence and rape, by giving free passes just because they are good at something. After a while you absolutely lose the right to have great jobs, there are penalties, suspensions etc.. He has already had his free passes, it's time he pay for what he has done, which is another suspension, low contract, laden with behavior guidelines, whatever it takes. 

 

I could give two blades of grass about speeding tickets, smoking weed, partying, sleeping in a bed full of guns.. I'm all about doing what you like when you are at home. The problem is he has crossed into another area of problems which is lack of self control. It's too evident that he has problems. 

 

I'm not intending my tone to be so harsh here. Hardy is not the worst offender in the league, but it's too late for him to be given free passes for hurting other people. Second chances are nice and all, but what is the actual line?

 

It's the justice system's job to deliver justice - not employers'.  

 

If he wasn't good at his job he shouldn't be hired... because he is not good at his job.

 

This is as simple as: Can he do the job that he is being paid to do?

 

Nobody is saying that you should arrange a marriage for your daughter to this man.
