I agree with you almost 100%, I just think there is a difference between losing your temper and pushing someone versus losing your temper and knocking someone out. He should be suspended for the rest of the season and playoffs imo but given a chance to take anger management classes and other conditions and able to play next year. I don't think this is ban for career worthy.Did you miss the part where he shoves her into the wall?
And I'm not saying it's as "bad" as the Ray Rice thing, but it's more or less the same situation in terms of, there's not a whole lot of room for he said she said stuff because the whole thing is on camera.
People react a lot stronger to stuff like this when there's undeniable video evidence. If the Ray Rice video hadn't gotten out to the public, he'd probably have played another 2-3 years.
Eh, Hunt doing it now, is dumber, but from a moral perspective there is no way it's worse.Hunt attacking this woman is worse than Ray Rice because Hunt did it during a time when he should know attacking a woman will not be tolerated. When Rice did it, players were seldom given meaningful discipline for it.
Ray Rice was initially given a slap on the wrist. Then the video came out and changed everything... for Rice and for the rest of the league. After that, any incident of a player hitting a woman resulted in far more severe punishment from the league. Hunt knew all of this and still decided to attack her.
I think litigating whether or not it's worse is kind of a fool's errand these days. Domestic abuse is domestic abuse. He did it, there will be consequences, and it's fair to consider his future in the league.
He told them to leave the hotel room. What good does it do him to go into the hall afterwards? It’s not his business anymore once they are outside the room. If they are making a lot of noise to get back into the room you call the front desk and tell them that there are two women causing a disturbance and that they should be removed. Let the hotel dea with them.He did the right thing by getting the minor gold diggers out of there. Just lost his cool afterwards and that's all his fault. Regardless of anything that was said to him or his friends. None of which I doubt either.
Losing the rest of the season and playoffs for that seems overboard. But in this climate and after the Ray Rice video, it's fair.
Let's go with "stupider", shall we?Hunt attacking this woman is worse than Ray Rice because Hunt did it during a time when he should know attacking a woman will not be tolerated. When Rice did it, players were seldom given meaningful discipline for it.
Wow that is a ****ing joke of a sentence for what he did
The NFL punishment is 100% fair and justified regardless of the climate or Rsy Rice situationHe did the right thing by getting the minor gold diggers out of there.
