Hunts career is done.

[NorthCyd]

The moral high ground teams take after videos are released is just comical.

Rice, Mixon, and now Hunt. Ravens, Sooners, and Chiefs. It was never a secret, yet 6+ months later when the public sees, everyone is "appalled"

This is such a tired and stupid take. First, I had never heard of it before, like many others I imagine. Granted, it wasn't as widely reported without the video, but the video is hard evidence. If you can't understand the difference between reading a vague description in a news article and visually seeing the act I don't know what to tell you. One leaves a lot to the imagination and the other leaves none. A video removes all doubt of the assault.

Smash some meat balls it will be fine. You can probably go to Chuckie Cheese to play with your long lost mistress the claw machine.

How many times do I have to tell you that I’m jobless? You have a hard time listening.

This has got to be my favorite random beef on this site.

It shouldn’t be. Crazy has lost it.

There is no excuse for the NFL to not have seen the video is the problem. I don’t think this was an overly bad or violent fight. People are overreacting to that part IMO. The supposed kick doesn’t really look violent. He absolutely shouldn’t have reacted the way he did but it appears to be a bad situation all around. There appear to be multiple people who hold responsibility. IMO you either have to charge all of them or none of them. That’s the difficult thing about many of this situations is there is no good answer.

The NFL is a billion dollar company. How is it that TMZ was able to get the video but the NFL wasn’t? They saw it before yesterday.

I know, smashed meatballs and 1 dollar Margaritas on Tuesday just weren't good enough. Keep your chin up champ.

Wow kudos to the Chiefs for cutting him AFTER the video came out and AFTER he was put on the NFL exemption list. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the same franchise drafted Tyreek Hill, who did something way worse.... it just wasn't on video... so all good I guess?

Considering the Chiefs didn't see the video until NOW and the NFL didn't see the video until NOW, and the alleged victims refused to cooperate with the NFL's investigation and there were no charges filed by the police, I guess I'm not sure what you expected the NFL or the Chiefs to do. The Chiefs apparently interviewed Hunt about it, and he lied to them. He likely told them that nothing had happened. When the video came out, that is when they determined he lied to them. So they cut him.

From what we know of the timeline of all this I guess I'm not sure what you would have wanted the NFL or the Chiefs to do before. No one was cooperating with the investigation. What would they have been suspending or cutting him based on, if they had done so? Tough situation here but I do love all the hot takes about the NFL not doing anything until the video went public. They saw the video at the same time we all did!

If you honestly believe any of this drivel I have some beach front property in AZ I would like to sell you.

Schefter on NFL's take on the investigation:

Put the pieces together based on the above.....

I'm not sure what's more pathetic.... the fact a billion dollar franchise/the NFL couldn't get the video before TMZ could or the Chiefs putrid playoff record.

Out of sight, out my mind, right KC?

 

[isufbcurt]

Ha ha - this "n word" that he probably says a hundred times a day?

My daughter is black so no I don't use that word. EVER

 

[clonedude]

My daughter is black so no I don't use that word. EVER

I don't care what she called him.... she didn't deserve to be shoved and kicked for it.

 

[mdk2isu]

I think he was talking about Hunt using the word, not you.

 

[MartyFine]

Odd that no criminal charges have been filed?

 

[Macloney]

This whole thing has been a ********.

From K. Hunt's initial actions, the police actions, the Chiefs initial reaction last summer, the League's and Chiefs reaction yesterday, etc.

His actions have consequences and unfortunately the only people who are going to suffer are Chiefs Nation.

Ownership is always going to be fine, Kareem is going to sign for millions somewhere else.

The victim did not deserve that. Alcohol, money, young adults and late nights are often a recipe for crap like this.

I’m hopeful the Chiefs (Ravens, Sooners, etc.) arent getting their information from “vague news articles” like you and me.

They knew. If they need a video (and public outcry) to learn that hitting, kicking, knocking out, and/or dragging unconscious bodies through a hallway probably isn’t a good look, then you can’t tell me they care.

Either cut him right away (and don’t draft guys like Tyreek Hill) or double down and keep him on the roster since no charges were filed.

This middle of the road wishy washy illogical stuff is a bad look over and over again.

You seriously don't understand the difference between him using that word and a white person directing that word to him?

Jesus just read about Hills situation. How did he only get probation

I think the penalty should be imposed by the League. The guy should be out, period for a set amount of time. I'd go with two years, myself. That's a severe punishment for a running back, which I believe is what is called for.
