Kareem Hunt seemingly has a bright NFL future ahead of him, assuming he doesn't get in his own way. That's easier said than done, and while we currently don't know the specifics, Hunt has been accused of a violent act that could get him in some trouble with the commissioner's office.

What a charming collection of people.
I know you guys hate to hear this because you maybe likes soft sports like squash or something but the percentage of crimes committed by NFL players is lower than the same age group in the general population. I’m beginning to wonder if those who keep attacking the NFL aren’t just a little bit fruity.
Or it could be that the NFL just hires a lot of sodding degenerates.
They don’t know the specifics but he’s already guilty as charged.
Only if one is a member of certain victim identities.
We know 1 detail: he was partying with a woman not legal to drink.
According to the article he found out she was 19, asked her to leave the party, and is accused of shoving her outside his apartment. Oh, and she is also accused of assault. It’s described as a “he said, she said” incident.
I’m not going to convict anyone yet.

This is from someone that likes to watch large, muscular, black men run around in tight fitting uniforms? :)
Where are you getting this info?
“I know you guys hate to hear this because you maybe likes soft sports like squash or something but the percentage of crimes committed by NFL players is lower than the same age group in the general population”
Just a thought, the avg. NFL salary is 1.9 million a year. Money has a way of making things go away short of murder or knocking your Girlfriend out when the video tape is running.
Cherry-pick much?
While your statement above is true for crimes overall, you conveniently left out another conclusion from that study:
"While NFL players are arrested for property crimes and public order crimes at rates far below the national average, they are often arrested for violent crimes at rates above them."
The study continues: "The researchers identified six years in which the rate of NFL players’ rates of violent crime was above the national average at a 'statistically significant' level."
"The combined measure of 2000 to 2013 found that NFL players have been arrested for violent crimes at a rate above 20- and 30-something men as a whole in the 21st century overall."
"Violent crime, as categorized by the researchers, included things like murder, manslaughter, DUI manslaughter, robbery, aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape, battery, domestic violence, child abuse and kidnapping."
Oh, one final thing.
As for your comment:

I do believe you are suffering from the psychological disorder known as projection.
A man can disagree with another man. They can yell. They might even start shoving a little. And there is always the understanding that one of them might actually start swinging. Fortunately, that doesn't happen too often -- in part, because both parties know that it could happen. And that (mostly) keeps the men in check. And within these parameters, men work out their disagreements.
But conflict with women cannot go like that. The woman can yell as much as she wants. There is no mechanism to stop her. She can even initiate violence. There is no way for the man to respond. The conflict is really one-sided and men don't know how to handle that. And many women totally use this to their advantage.
I'm not going to defend a man for shoving a woman, but he was probably in a no-win situation.
You see this a lot in Antifa videos. Women screaming, hitting, and using pepper-spray; one woman was filmed wearing sap gloves while assaulting a man. In these cases, however, the women were shown the consequences of violating the "don't hit" rule most of us learned in kindergarten, and were left balled up on the sidewalk, sobbing, while their antifa counter-parts were left yelling "you just hit a girl".
There is one party saying that Hunt started it. There are other people saying that the other person started it. Wait until the local authorities sort it out.
If you take into account they are very wealthy then you can see the issue
Sounds like the “victim’ was under the influence and had shoved another chick prior to getting shoved herself. If I were in Hunt’s shoes, I would have kicked her ass down the steps myself.
Some guy shoves a woman and this is news?!
No wonder we’re in such a pickle.
Accept responsibility for your actions.
Johnny Football was a bad influence./s
