News: Breer: The truth about Hardy's latest incident

[rockj7]

Do you think anybody has asked any of Adrian Petersons' teammates how they feel playing along side a child abuser?

I still think it's stunning how the guy that admitted to hitting his kid with a stick until there were cuts and scars gets a pass.

I'm waiting for ESPN to completely melt down when Peterson uses the word "switch" the way they did when Hardy said "guns blazing" .

Oh wait, Im not.

That was so stupid. Hardy didn't say that thinking "I'm going to say something offensive", but you know the media. Peterson gets a pass because he's not a Cowboy.

This guy needs to sit down with Brandon Marshall, someone who actually understands, and be told how he can get his head straight. If I offer him a contract, it absolutely comes with mental health caveats such as seeing a therapist and/or medical treatment.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Hardy is the definition of a self fulfilling prophecy.

The media and other fans hate the Cowboys and they have made Hardy the whipping boy. They will keep pushing and pushing until the pressure eventually causes the pipes to burst. He doesn't deserve the amount of hate and scrutiny he has received. It is 18 months later, he has served his suspension and paid his fine and people can't let it go.

He will do or say something stupid enough and everyone will wag their fingers say "See I told you so". Then they can turn their selective faux outrage onto the next guy.

You may be right on the media, but it's not like the guy is not giving them something to work with. The things that seem to be getting him in trouble since he's been here, could have easily been avoided.

There were several pictures of Peterson's son.

I honestly believe that there is nothing Hardy could do to stop the witch hunt. He was branded with the Scarlet Letter and he is the target. If he stayed quiet he would be a remorseless monster, if he defends himself he is a deluded monster, if changes the subject he is in denial, if he makes a joke he is an insensitive woman hater, if he apologizes he confirms their worst charges.

In this hyper-PC world we live in, the new bullies are used to getting their way if they scream and whine enough. The facts of the case are irrelevant. The charges and pictures made people feel uncomfortable and that is all that matters, their feelings.

Nothing you or I or Hardy can say or do will change that. He just needs to go away forever. Out of sight out of mind.

I can't lie I set this up to ask this question. if they both have photos of the Hardy incident and Peterson incident but Peterson is not dealing with backlash like Hardy, is it possible that Hardy is really getting it cause it was a White woman he abused?

Peterson admitted that he did it. Peterson was so unapologetic at first that Goodell mentioned it in his letter.

This is what Goodell said,

"Third, you have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct. When indicted, you acknowledged what you did but said that you would not 'eliminate whooping my kids' and defended your conduct in numerous published text messages to the child's mother. You also said that you felt 'very confident with my actions because I know my intent.' These comments raise the serious concern that you do not fully appreciate the seriousness of your conduct, or even worse, that you may feel free to engage in similar conduct in the future."

I don't think race ever had anything to do with the Hardy case. I would imagine that most Hardy protesters were not aware of Nicole Holder's name, let alone her race. Like I said earlier it is more about how the protesters feel about themselves than anything else.

They get to jump on their white horses and tell the world how anti-DV they are, like there is any other side. They don't even care about Hardy or RRice or Peterson, it isn't about them. It is about making sure everyone knows that you are on the right side of things.

Groupthink, peer pressure, lynch mob, whatever you want to call it. I bet that the most vocal anti-Hardy people have someone that they work with, dated or in their family that did a lot worse than Hardy and they looked the other way.

I've thought about it the same way..

what has Peterson done since he got back to make himself look like a freaking idiot?

I don't think race ever had anything to do with the Hardy case.

I think the same thing thing, though the way the Bench Trial Judge and DA acted I wouldn't rule out a racial element in what they did.

Hardy's cardinal sin was that he was the next guy to hit the news after the Ray Rice debacle so every media type that ignored DV got to focus on him to soapbox about the horrors of an issue they had never said a peep about prior to the Ray Rice video going public.

The man is a walking time bomb...

Are we all.

Let ye among you who didn't want to slap the clipboard out of Bisaccia's hand cast the first stone.

 

[VACowboy]

I sincerely hope Mincey is right in his assessment. Although I've been critical of Hardy, I would be overjoyed if he changed some of his behaviors and started attracting some positive attention.

This is me.

I hope it goes off on the field in the direction of the Dolphins !!!
