According to the Chiefs statement, he wasn't truthful to them about the incident when they first talked with him about it. Them seeing the vid confirmed that.
I consider myself a man of 2nd chances. If someone shows remorse for something they've done, and genuinely tries to better themselves afterwards, I think they deserve to be offered another chance. Obviously this totally depends on what someone did exactly. This footage regrading Hunt is clear as crystal, and there's gonna be a ton of legal steps that he's gonna have to go through. If he takes all the proper steps, and actually tries to better himself, I'd be supportive of him getting a 2nd chance. But again, it depends on how he handles all this. Ray Rices playing days are over, but considering what he's done since his incident, if a team were to give him a call, I don't think the outrage would be as bad as people think. I don't think it'd be like the Greg Hardy situation, in which he showed little to no remorse for his incident, and the Cowboys signed him anyway. And after spending one season with the Cowboys after the Panthers let him go, it became clear to everyone that he just appears to be a bad dude in general. There was also the Ray McDonald situation. Had multiple issues while with the 49ers, then had another while he was with the Bears. And that was it for him. Again, showed little remorse, and just seemed like a bad person in general. At this moment at least, I don't get that same feel with Hunt.
Donte Stallworth got a 2nd chance and played for three teams after he killed a dude while drunk driving. Adrian Peterson came back and played for the Vikings after the incident with his son, and has played for three teams since the Vikings let him go. And we all know about Micheal Vick and his 2nd chance after what he did.
I certainly don't condone what Hunt did at all. And not being truthful to the Chiefs certainly didn't help. So for now, I hope he's learned from this, takes responsibility, and betters himself.
My Redskins are currently going through some stuff regarding Reuben Foster who they just picked up. He's not gonna be playing at all this season, and next season is uncertain. With this situation though, not only is there no video, but the person making the claim against him has lied before. So this case isn't as clear. My stance really is just "Let the legal system do it's job". Because for now at least, unless I'm missing something it's just head said/she said.
