New Dallas Cowboy Greg Hardy: 'I don't care if [you] like me'

[Silver N Blue]

Not sure why he deleted the post not that bad...as far as OTA's they better get it into his head that Romo is untouchable...this guy has one thing on his mind and that is getting to the QB...

Oh yeah, it was that bad.

My favorite all time favorite player is Michael Irvin.
As a fan I did not sign a morals clause in regards to players.
We are imperfect beings created by imperfect beings.
He has been reprimanded and punished for earlier deeds.
If he does something to warrant his exodus from the team, then he deserves to go.
But for now...

He's my man!

Understood. But as imperfect people, we also cheer for people because they satisfy our needs (in this case, entertainment) when we should be outrage regarding their behavior. And truth be told, if we didn't have a self interest that drives us to ignore their misdeeds, then we'd shun them too.

Oh geez. He's getting killed in Dallas, and that tweet will turn it up ten notches today.

This guy doesn't get it.

Lay low, dude.

Obviously this is a fundamentally good person full of remorse who deserves a second chance. .

Are you being sarcastic?

The signing of Greg Hardy has been controversial for the Dallas Cowboys.

While the organization clearly believes in second chances, many have asked do the Cowboys have any 'moral obligations' when it comes to signing players?

Hardy remains on the commissioner's exempt list after being found guilty of misdemeanor domestic violence only to have the charges dropped on appeals after the accuser failed to show up for the trial.

Last week, the Cowboys officially signed Hardy to a one-year contract worth up to $13.1 million. Many have been critical of the move, including local media and the mayor of Dallas.

But Hardy doesn't seem fazed by the negative attention. The defensive end took to social media Monday to post a message to all the naysayers. The original Instagram post has since been deleted, but Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News transcribed it as follows:

"I don't Care If U Like Me, I Like Me and God knows all so I pray he Blesses America, The Cowboys and no place else #happy to have an opportunity #WorkLikeUAlwaysDo#Harder#Hardy#sackscoming#goodmorning all real Kraken fans I love u guys."

And, yes, he does care. Let an entire city turn on you. I guarantee he wouldn't be re-signing here if he has another option.
Players always say they don't care what the press says. Yes, they do.

What's the over/under on him ending Bradford's season with injury? because you know someone is going to.

 

[Fletch]

Hey Kracken, you do care what everyone thinks. If not, you wouldn't have said, tweeted, anything. But you did, so you care.

Just shut your suck hole and get ready to play!

 

[ChooChoo73]

Not a fan of his. He doesn't care though. Not crazy about the signing but he wears the star now so I'm all in. Also agree with poster who wants McLain signed. On the field I have starved for defensive brutality and we just might get it.

Absolutely right - like they say all politics is local - all entertainment is personal. We definitely pick our spots.

Dallas is taking a low risk shot at him and I hope he can bring a pass rush outside of that I don't give a damn about this guy.

Just line him up over Tyron all day. Romo will be fine.

When he is running QB's all over the field, plenty of people will like him... except for Commanders, Giants, and Eagles fans.

Particularly the Giants fans. If they don't improve their OL, Hardy is going to get to Eli often. He could get to him with one tentacle tied behind his back.

I will like the fact that he got a sack I will not like the man if you can call him that. Guys who beat on women I have 0 respect for, hell with him it is a Fricken game. What he did is real life it is not damn game. Really have we gotten to this point as fans that a game is more important than anything else in life? Yeah he gets a sack that so what

Awesome movie. And what you said is completely right.

I just hope after he knocks the **** out of Bradford or Eli, he spreads his arms and yells, "Are you not entertained?"

and you of course know the whole story - talk about self righteous BS.

 

[Wheeltax]

Don't like what he (allegedly) did and certainly wouldn't make excuses for him, not that he needs me to.

The guy was what, 24 when this happened? I would never condone harming a woman but the man deserves a second chance. What he (probably) did was stupid and harmful, but as long as that harm isn't permanent and his ex- got a nice payday to the point of not being overly concerned about bringing him to justice, then I'm not overly concerned about it either. On that note, I don't think the woman is all that innocent, either. It was a dumb situation that apparently got violent.

Unless his behavior is a pattern and not just a one-time incident of a dumb 24-25 year old multimillionaire, then I'm ready to move on and play some goshdarn football.
