As a big NFL fan, I will never forgive a guy who beats the living shit out of a woman and throws her on a bunch of semi-automatic weapons. He is a POS and shouldn't have the opportunity to play in the NFL.

One rape makes a person a rapist, right? And one murder makes one a murderer, right? But for some reason beating the shit out of a girlfriend/etc. should just be considered an "incident" and not a character-defining thing? Give me a fucking break. Your post basically says "yeah, but he only beat the shit out of…

He said he was "mildly irked." That is completely fair.

You are right. People are emotional. We do horrible things, and in a just world we pay for those horrible things. Just as Rice, Peterson and Hardy are paying for their horrible acts (you might be surprised to learn, that most people find beating the shit out of someone essentially defenseless to be a horrible act -…

I find it sad that we still have to use to context to talk about domestic violence rather than simply appeal to common decency.

Well no. Not exactly. You also have the crazy Carribean population- Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans- that factor heavily into the equation.
Furthermore, go to a Rays/Red Sox game sometime in Tampa and you'd be surprised at how many southern inbred mouth-breathers are actually first gen removed Massholes. Go to the…

I think it's because everybody knows that, if Hardy was really innocent, he wouldn't have paid someone off to make it go away, particularly given the public's current view of NFL players committing domestic violence. He would have fought tooth and nail to reclaim his good name. Think of how much money he forfeited by…

I don't see how premeditation comes into this. Even if this was a heat of the moment type deal, he showed, that he's likely to resort to attempted murder levels of outbursts when pressured.

I'd suggest that he's feeling the need to spoon feed the problem is more about his regard for the audience.

I mean, certainly this situation would be one of the worst you'd ever encounter if it WAS your wife/mother/daughter. But I really believe that taking a stand as a sports fan against someone like Greg Hardy is about standing up for all women who find themselves in this situation, and caring about people in general,…

As someone who used to live in FL for a long time, it cannot be over-stated how much of the population is comprised of jackanapes from the north. Just know that when you rightfully implicate FL as a haven of fuckery, it is because FL is the castaway gutter collection pit of every family's pervy uncle along the eastern…

How 'bout Tim McVeigh? That was one incident.

It's a pretty common criticism - appeals to get men to prevent rape or domestic violence often revolve around "Imagine if it was your daughter/mother/sister/wife!" or "These are people's daughers/mothers/sisters/wives!" It sounds fine and is pretty unequivocally better than not advocating for good causes, of course,…

If that one incident is beating a woman, throwing her on a pile of guns, and threatening to kill her, I'm pretty OK with that defining him.

Why does it need context? Why isn't the fact of it enough? I am sick to death of people acting like the only people that matter are family members. It matters because it matters, not because it happened to someone you know.

Clear eyes, full hearts, don't abuse.

Don't let beating a woman be that one incident then

Well because, typically, physically attacking and threatening to kill a woman isn't something that someone only does once and then goes "nah, that's not for me." Especially when you get away with it or are able to pay the victim to drop it.

Domestic abusers are hardly "one incident" type of guys. You meant to say "one time caught".

The best part is him shitting on Garrett's dad.
