I never understand the premise of "you were accused of a crime you didn't get convicted for, but just in case you should be black balled from doing something your really really good at."
Hardy isn't a convicted criminal, so what kind of double justice do you want imposed on him for alleged, unverified offenses?
He deserves to be a defensive linemen because he's one of the best at the position. Not because he's a sweetheart. There are lots of sweethearts out there, and none of them intercepted Russell Wilson last week.
