Crime Kareem Hunt released from KC Chiefs for video

[HockeyBjj]

I guess that is part of why I am sympathetic here. These franchises know they employ mostly neanderthals. This guy had surrounded himself with the right people to be drunk, and stupid with. As he was taught in seminars these players are required to attend. That doesn't give him license to be an asshole, or assault someone, but it shows he was trying to be responsible despite getting drunk.

I wouldn't give him credit for the friends, but I do give the friends credit. They weren't just standing between Hunt and the girl, they were clinch wrestling him and Hunt fighting to break through. So much so it was one of his friends he threw 8 feet away that knocked the girl to the ground

Then he couldn't resist giving her the boot lying there, which shows A+ scumbag behavior

Chiefs say a big part of the release is that Hunt lied to them about how the incident went down, and the vid proves he lied. After seeing the vid, I'm surprised police didn't charge misdemeanor assault initially. DA probably just don't want a headache national exposure case and said fuck it

The video though is what the nfl fears pr wise. It gives juicy material social media to show that kick in slow mo on loop and "NFL doesn't care about beating women so long as you can run a ball well" posts

Tyreek Hill, a wr for the same team, choked his pregnant girlfriend unconscious. Charges actually filed and convicted of the domestic assault. But no vid = just a well crafted team statement

I am curious to see if any team puts a waiver claim on Hunt and figures they'd get him after a year long suspension

It is shocking that these scumbag athletes don't learn anything after they are repeatedly told to be careful who they associate with and to be mindful of how they behave well before they reach the NFL. There are also countless examples of idiot athletes destroying their careers by acting like fools and yet these jackasses never learn. I guess the millions of dollars, media attention, adoring fans, yes men and easy women fool an athlete into thinking he is above it all. Damn fools.

Yeah I agree.

I wonder if he'd still be on the team if he didn't bull rush her to the ground and kick her in the ribs. The Chiefs might have forgiven the first push, but everything that came after that was really bad.

I imagine it has something to do with being rewarded for being physically dominate, and rewarded for aggression, but only when they are on a football field.

Basically they are famous and successful for being neanderthals, but they are only allowed to do this in approved areas. I imagine that could be a difficult concept for a 20 something year old to master.

I have seen veteran players talk about how they had to develop two personas. The person they are on the field, and the person they are off.

I don't know man. If this guy is choosing to surround himself with people like this, I would be surprised to see him get in real trouble again. I do think you should get credit for surrounding yourself with good people.

I have been drunk, and in a rage before. Not a good combo for making good decisions.

 

[Devout Pessimist]

Yeah I agree.

The initial shove is understandable if he just walked away afterwards and disappeared into his hotel room. He could have explained she was bothering him and would not leave him alone so he decided to shove her away to get some distance from her and most people would have given him a pass. The problem came from him going into full psycho mode, having to be held back by numerous people, charging into his friend and the girl which sent them both flying and then kicking the girl while she was on the ground. He would have gotten away with a shove, but what followed reveals a man of low-character and a serious lack of restraint.

I think they both suck, and it wasn't to the level of Rice, but he kept coming back to the situation, touched her first and multiple times. He knocked her down and kicked her for Pete's sake. He should have just left when his friends were dragging him away, and it would have ended.

I would not have pushed her. I would walk away from the situation and call security/law enforcement. But yeah I think the push would have been forgiven by the Chiefs.

I don't know man. If this guy is choosing to surround himself with people like this, I would be surprised to see him get in real trouble again.

So this incident happened in February. In June, while the heat of that should still be fresh on his mind, he got himself kicked out of a resort my security for punching a man

Again, no charges filed, no suspension. Hunt has a temper issue and no fear of the consequences

I think if this video had never surfaced, he'd continue on his path and indeed get in real trouble again, despite having some guys with him smart enough to protect the high roller from himself as best they can.

Hmm, well that changes things a bit.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Sounds like a flawed business plan.

Sponsors pay a shit load more than fans

I'm sure K. Hunt has had more than a few violent incidents while partying before this happened. He got away with it because he is a talented football player and there was probably no footage of him going crazy. Judging by his friends quick reaction in the video it is clear they have experience dealing with him when he has been drinking.

That's exactly it. They have to protect their image because they pay these guys to give each other brain damage, it already looks bad enough. If people see one of these elite physical talents turning that aggression on to a 19 year old girl, it can be blamed on the NFL for fostering that violence if they do nothing about it.

They don't want to fire the guy any more than you want them to, but they kind of don't have a real choice there. If it's not on camera, they can work with it.

Your hitting on why this really bugged me, before I noticed the kick. He pushes her, his friends are trying to hold him back, and she is walking towards him like she wants to fight.

Their is a part of me that thinks drunk chicks like that should be allowed to enter into mutual combat with a dude. Being a female isn't a force field. Allot of dudes will go to jail, or take a ass whooping to stop someone from talking shit. I'm not sure we should be making a victim out of that chick.

Thanks for your inside knowledge.

That basically means Kareem Hunt is a ticking time bomb.

Hopefully he corrects that if he hasn't already.

We are men of character, RIp. We would never be a part of that kind of foolish scene in the first place. We spend wholesome time with our wives and families instead of being intoxicated out of our minds and getting violent with strange women.

If anything, this video having the reaction it did may be what it takes for him to realize his actions have consequences

I hope he gets suspended for the 2019 season, actually reflects in his time away, and a team brings him back 2020 as a better man

I also wish there wasn't the double standard of incident on video or not by the NFL, but sadly that's not the case

This is where I think there isn't a good answer, and that it is folly to think their is a perfect, or answer. You piss off people no matter what you do. It is folly to appease in that scenario.

There is such a thing as damned if you do, damned if you don't.

But the sponsors go away when the fans do. In reality the sponsors have no sway, and are only there because of the fans.

Man you u keep on defending him but all he had to do was go back inside close the door and call front desk. Problem solved. Who cares what this crazy bitch said. But he had to prove he was the bigger man instead of being the bigger man...

The man clearly has a temper problem that was inflated by his talents and achievements on the football field.

Sucks for KC for sure cause I am an Andy Reid fan...

I'm not really trying to defend him anymore. Being shown he got in a fight in June destroyed any want I had to defend this guy.

I would say, I was attacking the chicks actions though.
