Chiefs release Kareem Hunt after video from February incident surfaces

Terry's comments pretty much sum up the situation in my eyes as well. 

 

That's an unrealistic take with a 1 strike and you're out policy unless it's a completely egregious event which isn't the case with Hunt.  

 

 
Kareem Hunt took full responsibility for the actions that led to his release by the Chiefs on Friday, saying the team was right to cut him after a video showed him pushing and kicking a woman during an altercation at a Cleveland hotel in February.
 
In an interview with ESPN's Lisa Salters on Sunday, Hunt admitted he lied to the Chiefs about what happened.
 
"Honestly, I just want to let the world know how sorry I am for my actions," Hunt said. "It's been a tough time for me. I am extremely embarrassed because of that video. ... The video shows I was in the wrong. I'm not that type of person. I really just disappointed and embarrassed for myself and for my family. I'm really taking action to learn from this and do everything possible to become a better man."
 
Hunt said he didn't hold anything against the Chiefs for releasing him.
 
"The Chiefs are right. I didn't tell them everything and I don't blame them for anything," Hunt said. "My actions caused this. I really wish I could just apologize to them and let them know it's no hard feelings between me and the Chiefs. I love the program. I love the people there. I just want to take this time and better myself and not let anything like this ever happen again."
 
Hunt said he hasn't spoken with the woman he shoved and kicked in the video since the incident. He also said he's planning to undergo counseling, but didn't explain why he waited until after the video was released to seek treatment. He also wasn't asked about allegations he punched a man in an Ohio resort parking lot in June.
 
He also said he believes he deserves to be given a second chance.

As I said, Terry's thoughts sum up my thoughts on the situation. It's obvious though that talent trumps controversy in the NFL. He will likely get a shot elsewhere. Look at Mixon. Doesn't mean I'll agree with it and I sure as hell hope it's not here. The kicking of the girl in the ground is what resonates with me the most. Pretty pathetic.

Ah, OK this makes more sense now.  

 

Yes, if your point was “not a brutal attack, not horrific domestic violence” I agree, and in that context saying probably not the hardest kick or blow he could deliver makes sense as not exculpating him, just making the point the whole thing doesn’t fit most people’s idea of horrific brutality.

 

Doesn’t make it right, still makes it wrong, just doesn’t make it brutality.

 

I didn’t get this at all from your original post.  Thanks for clarifying.

 

Ah.

 

some would argue Mahomes >>> Smith and that Smith had something to do with that 

 

 

Only if they weren't familiar with those games

Of all the things that have taken place in this incident and in this thread,  you find issue with who someone being called a thug. I would agree, pathetic. 

 

How do you know that's the only thing I have an issue with? Do you know me?

 

I know your true colors

 

Pathetic

Kind of ironic asking if I know you , then telling me you know my true colors after reading a few posts on a message board.

Cool dude. Get that coloring book out. 

Pathetic 

Is there a challenge in school who can use the word pathetic the most or something? How about we never talk to one another ever again? I think it's time to call it a day.

All i see is you criticising that gentleman for calling this player a name when the other player did the same thing and you implied he called him the same name.

 

Hence, i asked you to elaborate. 

 

No, sir/maam, i am not dumb. I was just curious and wanted to know what you meant. Hence, the request to elaborate.

 

Thank you very much, I look forward to your response. 

 

God Bless!?

Your exact words were, and i quote, "...I guess you have to look a certain way to be considered a thug. Pathetic." IIRC Josh Gordon looks ALOT like Kareem Hunt, down to his skin color. That is where i get confused. Can you please elaborate? If you do not wish to do so, i completely understand. Just say so. I will completely and unconditionally understand.

Josh Brown bro, Josh Brown. Not Josh Gordon, can you elaborate?

 

Kind of hilarious your mind went straight to Josh Gordon though

 

Point, proven?

It was a lot more disrespectful and contemptuous than injurious.

This.  As I said before, he had free access to her and all he did was knock her over with his foot.  He was dumb to get himself into that situation and should get suspended for a few games, but I don't think the traditional DV suspension should come into play here.  This isn't even close to what Rice or Mixon did.
