Well, not any more.
How monumentally stupid can you be? First, to be in that situation in the first place. They cover this stuff at the rookie symposium and many other players have been busted for the same thing. And second, lying about it. There's always going to be a video, or a bunch of witnesses.
If he had been up front about it, he gets suspended for a game or two early in the year and it's over. As it is, he's done for the season and possibly the next (according to some talking heads on ESPN). He'll play again, but he's not getting the huge contract he could have commanded as one of the league's top running backs.
And seeing the picture of them pulling his jerseys off the shelves got me thinking about his fans. At Thanksgiving, my sister's niece's 4 kids all had Chief's t-shirts. Hill, Kelsey, Mahomes and Hunt. That's going to make for an interesting conversation after dad replaces 27 with 14 or 29.
The NFL needs to get this **** figured out going forward. I know there's not a huge epidemic of violence towards women in the league, but every instance brings a ton of attention. Personally, I'd be fine with just banning offenders for life. Sure, you'd miss out on some talented players, but I bet the instances of violence drop markedly after a couple of guys get kicked out.
