So a three month suspension sounds about right from what I recall.
Sounds like the guy is a total creep. Likely Marv is also.
I don't think Hardy is one of those guys.
I do think he is a possible headache.
Crazy part about your link was someone said 50 incidents. I get that he was young, but that is incredible. Disney is not as squeaky clean as they pretend to be, never has been.
I think if the allegations are true, Hardy should be suspended for the entire year. I just don't know the full details of Hardy's accusations as I've heard that his accuser has made accusations like this with something like 5 different men. Could be true, may not be true. But if it is, he should be punished severely. Not only for what he did, but he would clearly need time to get therapy and get himself better. I don't believe in giving death sentences at the drop of a hat, but I do believe in giving second chances if the person has been reformed and helping that person reform themselves.
The issue is that guys like Dale Hansen in the media get on their soap box all of the time when it's about athletes and sports organizations. He was the same guy that got on his soap box and called the NFL homophobic because they didn't draft Michael Sam until the 7th round. As I've mentioned countless times...there was a Pac-10 defensive player of the year that was a tweener like Michael Sam. He was too small to play his given position at linebacker and too slow to play safety. The only team that took a chance on him was not until the 7th round and they signed him in large part because he was a 'local kid.'
That player?
Pat Tillman
But when other members of the sports media do disgusting and reprehensible acts...there is just no outrage. Hansen covers sports and part of that is to have an opinion about the sports media when the story presents itself. Instead mum is the word when lowlifes like Tirico, Mariott, Mark Schwartz, etc. act like they do with little or no repercussions.
