Pictures surfaced last week of Nicole Holder, the former girlfriend of Cowboys’ defensive lineman Greg Hardy, after Hardy beat her. The pictures are graphic and horrific, showing a bruised and battered Holder, who said she thought Hardy was going to kill her “this time”. Hardy was convicted and then appealed the conviction. The conviction was thrown out when Holder was unavailable to testify. The courts say she and Hardy reached a settlement…some call it a payoff…and could not be found. Since then, Hardy has signed with the Dallas Cowboys and has never expressed remorse, contrition or apologized for what happened. Instead, he has been arrogant, defiant and flat out rude with his comments and tweets. We talk all the time about second chances in this country, and I’m all for that. But one has to EARN a second chance. Hardy, just a bad person, is running around like he is owed something. The arrogance and continued attitude that he is better than the rest of us is disgusting. Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones calls Hardy a leader. Really? Yes, he is a good football player. And a horrible person. And…the Cowboys have not won a game with Hardy in the lineup. Karma? Maybe they should release him and find out.
