Wow. Good for Kansas City. 

[Your Mom]

My respect for the Chiefs just went way up. Inevitable this means in a day or two my respect for Washington will go way down

[Adam]

Wow, that was swift. That's how it should be, fair play to the Chiefs.

The woman supposedly knocked on Hunt’s hotel room door repeatedly yelling the N-word at him, which has now opened up a flood of people saying it was justified.

I watched the video. He speared her and she fell into the wall face first. I'm not sure what constitutes as "brutalizing", but I'd file what he did under that category.

Call Hotel Security then? People are awful

Exactly.  Let her get arrested, and with any luck her toxic views will get her blackballed from society.  Doing something horrendous in return solves nothing.

[Lineker]

Twitter douche is saying the word suspected. The racial offence is only alleged. The only thing there is concrete evidential proof of, is Hunt beating up a woman.

To be fair, the dude spearing her was not Kareem. It was a dude that Kareem shoved, who then fell into her. 

Not condoning his actions, at all.

Is there any proof of this?? It wouldn't matter anyways. He shoved her first, then she slapped him.

TMZ Sports has obtained video of Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Hunt shoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel back in February.

Warning - the video is at the top of the page.

Be careful how much you respect the Chiefs when you remember they still employ Tyreek Hill because he's real real fast.

I'm glad they apparently did the right thing here, though.

[Your Mom]

Damn I did forget about him already. I guess my respect for them did still technically go up since it was really far down after that

Relevant funny/not funny reddit post I just saw on this subject.

Tyreek runs so fast, not even his past can catch up with him.

[The Buscher]

There are way, way more important things with the Hunt situation than football.  But if I'm assessing the on-field implications of the Hunt situation, I think it could pretty much torpedo their season.  They'll still make the playoffs of course but they're going to be very beatable, and already had the impending Andy Reid Factor looming over them too.

I'd say there's maybe a 5% chance it's not the Pats or Steelers coming out of the AFC again.  This league is so boring.

[Meacon Keaton]

Callers on Philly sports talk radio willing to overlook the issue, because they need a running back.

Color me shocked.

 > Sports fans with the time and motivation to call into sports talk radio.

 > Rational, sane human beings.

Choose one.

The whole thing with Hunt is being treated less as "We brought the hammer down on him for assaulting her" and more "He lied to us and made us look like fools" so I don't really have too much added respect for KC. Do your own independent investigation like a real job would you clowns. Don't try to protect your stars.

I do think Hunt might wind up on a team in the (distant) future. Ray Rice never got a workout again but he also was on the downward trend of his career. Hunt is young and a really good player, he can go about and do his apology tour. We'll see what happens.

[LL!]

I think hiring Hunt would set a dangerous precedent for any team. The video is pretty damning and it's in the eyes of the world now. Hiring him could cause a real shitstorm.

I think every fanbase has that. I missed the Detroit sports radio discussion other than the tail end of our top guy Mike Valenti (funny enough he had an offer to be a sports radio guy in Philly but opted to stay here. Even funnier, he’s a Giants fan) saying “I can’t believe the arguments from some of our callers. Come on people, we’re better than this”

[TCO]

Hunt is one of the NFL's leading rusher, 23 years old and his incident wasn't half as bad as Ray Rice's. He's 100% going to get another shot, it's just a matter of who's willing to take the PR hit.

There's no moral compass in the NFL, it's a all about the ratio of talent upside to severity of the incident. Josh Brown was a kicker and his abuse towards his wife was horrendous yet the Mara's still tried to cover up for him. Somebody will take a risk on Hunt.

 

[Lineker]

Kickers are people too!

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah. The worst people.
