Sounds like a reasonable scenario, assuming Hunt doesn’t end up in jail.  I wish Goodell would suspend him for the entire 2019 season.  The thug can kiss any endorsements goodbye and, with no degree and a reputation as a woman beater, his prospects for any employment are slim.

Dont remember you calling this guy a thug

I guess you have to look a certain way to be considered a "thug".

 

Pathetic

Nothing against you, CB26 but why would anyone (Rapoport) reach out to Ray Rice to see what he thinks......about anything?

 

Dude is a scumbag.

What on God’s Earth are you talking about?

 

It puzzled me too, but it seems like a topic for PPP or one of the internet forums devoted to such.

So, looks like we have to accept a certain level of violence and behavior?  When I saw it for the first time my reaction was, "Yup, Chiefs did the right thing. It must have been heartbreaking but had to be done."  

 

I think I understand where you're coming from.  And it sounds like a marvelous moral high ground stance.

 

But is it?  I tend to think it's a bit more complicated.

 

Football has violence at its core.  As Eric Wood was quoted, "you can do things on a football field that are severely illegal anywhere else".  So NFL football players are carefully selected, offense and defense, for being willing and able to unleash a certain fairly high level of violence every time they play, whistle to whistle.   Successful players "bring the nasty."  Even cerebral, best-behaved-off-field players.  Retired-to-pursue-MIT-PhD OLman John Urshel said “There’s a rush you get when you go out on the field, lay everything on the line and physically dominate the player across from you,” he wrote. “This is a feeling I’m (for lack of a better word) addicted to, and I’m hard-pressed to find anywhere else.”

So you take guys who are the very best of the best at laying down controlled violence between the whistles on a football field, many of whom come from a cultural background where they're taught from a young age "don't take nothing from no one, not ever"

 

Yet you are Shocked, Shocked to find that some of them struggle with the "turn it off and put it away when the whistle blows"?  In contrast, this is my surprised face. 

 

Come on.

I'm not saying that Hunt's behavior towards that woman wasn't despicable (to borrow whatdrought's word).  Just because something isn't surprising, or is something some young players have to learn, doesn't mean it's right.

 

I'm saying that to paint it as a binary thing where either Hunt gets permanently voted off NFL Island or "we have to accept a certain level of violence and behavior", when a certain level of violence is in fact intrinsic to American football, strikes me as simplistic.

This doesn't seem to be a bad theory.

 

In the Navy, when we returned from 5-6 month cruises, we had meetings with our Commanding Officer in which he reminded us that we were going back home to our families and our society.  In just 6 months, one can develop habits that are frowned upon in the presence of women and children.  We just spent 6 months with mostly men.  We swore more.  We acted differently.  We spoke differently.  We didn't need to watch what we said or what we did.

 

With Hunt, or other NFL players who assault others off the field, I still think it's best to treat each case individually.  I think it's best to take one's history into account (not violence - but look at the Zay Jones incident.  If that wasn't out of character for him, he'd have gotten into trouble with the NFL; he didn't).

 

My only issue with this is that it's not commonplace.  The vast majority of other NFL players in the history of the game have been able to effectively "turn it off and put it away when the whistle blows."

 

In fairness, I can see how this could be behavior that can be changed, IF it is actually part of this "rush," that John Urshel described in your post.

 

I don't believe in a blanket approach to anything.  I am absolutely disgusted watching that video; but Hunt deserves to tell his side to the NFL.
