Kareem Hunt...

[bullitpdq68]

It seems if you have special talents that can be used by others, you get special treatment when it comes to bad behavior be it sports stars or even the rich. As you get older I could imagine it is harder to control yourself if all aspects of your life, as people have let your behavior go because your talents helped them in someway. Had this video never surfaced I am sure nobody would have ever known what happened that night.

We see this everyday in life...it is written off as just young kids playing hard, but those young kids will someday be adults and if never held accountable for their actions they will never learn right from wrong.

Those that have children know that you don't control them, you merely guide them. They make bad decisions and have to pay the consequences. If that young girl was my daughter I would hug her and tell her I love her. My oldest girl ran away from home and made bad choices. She latter was murdered, shot in the head. So, when I see something like this I get a little heated. Take care, I got to make breakfast for the rest of my kids and head to church.

Sorry for your loss.

I don't think it's written off. Maybe in their homes and school but society teaches us to eventually behave.
Which is why a village does not raise a child, parents raise children.

God bless you...no parent should ever have to bury a child.

I think Kareem is ungrateful. There's a lot of people this way. Duck is fundamentally ungrateful. He's a, socialist.
Maybe Kareem was raised in a society that's fundamentally ungrateful and educated from K through College to be ungrateful.

After something finally becomes public and unjustifiable, something finally had to be done. Hunt should have never been in that situation to begin with and he would be getting ready to cash a very huge pay check.

I am just guessing thru his very talented life, very few people have ever held him accountable for his actions. And again had there been no video proof of this, he would have never been held accountable for this indecent, but yet there were many witnesses?

Everyone let O.J. get by all those years...and we ended up with two dead people.

Oh, absolutely.
In the world of "Everyone does it"???
I'm for holding EVERYONE accountable.
There will still be cries of 'not fair' ... but, we'd live in a better world.
I know that on rare occasion people LEARN from these kinds of mistakes ... but, I'm sure statistically it's the kind of thing that only escalates.

Hope your right... but not with that defense !

Yesterday was a huge step back BUT may have been part of the team, as a whole, just not looking right. That also tells you how horrific this year's edition of the Oakland Raiders really is.

For the same reasons people kneel, they get drunk, engage in behavior that can cost them dearly. They might not mean it. But behind it, is frittering away a gift. I've done this. I'm just not a wealthy football player. We can screw our own lives up and make it worse. This is why I can have compassion for Hunt. He's a fool. Been there done that.

You mean, leaving Liberty North was a mistake?

No leaving my house was a mistake today. I forgot my wallet.

Oh yeah I have made a ton of mistakes in my life, and I will make several more before I leave this old earth, just the facts.

I think there is a chunk of truth in what everyone has had to say here ... For me personally? I was pleased to see the Chiefs take the action they did. A whole wagonload of lessons could be learned here by whippersnappers everywhere if anyone wanted to learn anything from it.
Life isn't fair ... and especially not at EVERY turn. Not for the girl, not for the guy, not even for the NFL team owner.
This was a series of events that if they were broken down into separate isolated incidents? He likely survives it. The sum of the parts, however, will damage his career or end it.
At any point along the way (probably from the time he met the gal to the time point at which he lied about the incident and everything that happened after) Kareem could have made better decisions. Say what you will about what they "all" do. Therefore they "all" choose to risk their careers. Especially in the age of cell phone cameras.

Agreed except I hate it, if I was family/friend of the young lady I would be all for it but not as a fan. That's probably wrong but.. As far as a lesson for the whipper snappers, I think most would rather be the cool guy!! Look at the Kapernik ordeal. Hell college kids, high school kids etc all started doing it once the majority of the General public showed disdain for it.

HUNT WAS WRONG. Do not go hands on the opposite sex. BUT What if the girl in the video "identified" as a male. Would Hunt still be in the wrong? If she identified as a male and HUNT's video actions were "right" isn't he still thumping on a female? it Hunt is wrong are we not disrespecting the wishes of her/his identity? Asking for a friend.

Closeup of the girl he hit...now can we reconsider this?

He was doomed when his parents gave him that stupid name. Not only that, it’s Meerak backwards: cursed for sure.

Raw, you really seem to have taken a liking for pointing out the spelling of words backwards here lately.

Welcome to the internal carnival of my mind.

I imagine stereotypical clown / circus music playing in your mind all the time.
