Staubach on Hardy: I wouldn’t want an abuser as a teammate

[Cujo]

The question to me becomes what the NFL's role should be in all this. With a Ray Rice, or Adrian Peterson where the abuses are more clearly recorded it's pretty open and shut, a professional organization should be expected to look at an employee with a side eye. But Hardy's case was a lot less open and shut. Is any physical conflict, even if we don't know the specifics, go on the player? Is the NFL just supposed to punish on the accusation, assuming the testimony of the accuser was 100% valid?
Should they have suspended Erik Williams and Michael Irvin when that woman falsely accused them?
I don't have answers for any of this, but the pendulum shouldn't be forced to swing so far back that we assume everyone's bad because they got in some kind of conflict. Guys like Dez and Tyron have had issues with their families.
Should any family member who wants to blackmail a player just have to threaten a police report to threaten their livelihood?

Excellent points.

He's not even really that any more. His case was dismissed and there is no one making any accusations against him any longer. So if someone makes an accusation against you that isn't true what exactly are you supposed to do? Be screwed for the rest of your life?

I dont know what one is supposed to do but Staubach seems to think his association with that label is bad for the Cowboys image.

Staubach doesn't really believe what he is saying. He is saying it to fit in and sound anti domestic violence with out having any knowledge of the actual incidents that happened. I'd liken it to someone picking a political party because it's the cool thing to do without actually having any idea what the party is actually doing. Sort of like the Hillary Clinton fans.

I only know what he says. If it is a hidden agenda , I don't know what his point is. I can't see why he would even bother to say anything if he didnt have some idea that his voice would be influental to the front office.
