The pictures of Hardy's ex-girlfriend's bruises are disturbing. I understand a judge found him guilty of domestic abuse last year but charges were dropped and expunged when the ex stopped cooperating with the prosecution.
Now that the photos have been released, there's outcry for the Cowboys to drop him, but Jerry Jones thinks he deserves a second chance. Seems like a big risk to me - that position hasn't worked out well for other teams when they've stood by domestic abusers.
Ray Rice was kicked out of the league under similar circumstances, but not Hardy. It seems to me the NFL domestic abuse policies are pretty subjective and leave a lot to the discretion of team owners and management.
