He is just stupid.
I might be willing to give him achnace if he admits he has a problem and needs to get help. But he still thinks he did nothing wrong.
Coming out and nationally announcing he is a woman beater does nothing to help him. Nothing.
There were a couple guys who got drafted this weekend with violence against woman reputations. Not saying that makes it OK. But Hardy hasn't had any issues like this since.
His problem last year was being late to meetings and butting heads with Dallas' superstar Dez. And Dallas trying to force him into a leadership role because they paid him so damn much.
Of course we are the Bengals. And we would catch a ton of shit for signing Hardy. But we could just point at Burfict and show a clip of him wrecking AB, Rottenturn, and LeVeon and smiling and everybody would forget about Hardy.
We don't need him to be a leader. Just come in a rehab his image and play for peanuts.
