What patterns?
You wouldn't know about any patterns of not for the ONE situation that got him suspended, that doesn't prove anything... That doesn't qualify as a pattern..
That ONE situation is affecting your judgment on an incident that multiple players have already said happens all the time across the spectrum for all types of players...
I've gone over this before and don't care to debate it ad nauseum again. But since you asked ...
There are reports (and even Cris Carter confirmed this) that Hardy fought with his teammates in Carolina - fist fights.
Hardy was into wild parties where sex, alcohol and drugs were present.
Hardy has been reported to be very reckless with his display of his weapons.
Hardy has been accused of domestic abuse. And even if you don't believe the woman who accused him, his choice of who he decided to "date" says something about him.
I said this in another thread, so let me be clear: If Hardy wants to live the way he does, fine. This is not a moral judgment I'm making about him but an observational one.
And my point is simply this: the decisions people make in life, the choice of friends, their actions, their responses, their hobbies, their interests, etc., paint a picture of them.
And when people make certain decisions, they tend to repeat those same decisions and those decisions establish a pattern. And people judge them accordingly.
It's not a matter of legality. It's a matter of human response, human nature and human behavior.
And while we can hope for the best, we shouldn't be shocked either when people who make such decisions find themselves trapped in a particular pattern that their life's choices have paved for them.
