It is really a shame that the media and sanctimonious twitter users are unfairly treating Clark like he's a Floyd Mayweather class abuser, when to me it looks like he defended himself at worst, and at best, might actually be the victim in this case.
Mikeak is right about the inconsistency at .net. But I mean come on, this place has no shortage of homers who love to rip on other teams, so that's to be expected on any football issue. For the record, I am a second chances guy, and have been pretty consistent on this issue. I think Rice should get a second chance, that's what Janay would want. Hardy is a bit more complicated, but as long as he never screws up again I am okay with him being in the NFL. Even the McDonald case, I kinda liked how the 49ers gave Goodell the finger by sticking with McDonald as long as they did. I am a big fan of Warren Moon, Tom Cable, Tony McDaniel, and Kevin Williams. They all screwed up, and they all made the most of the public's forgiveness.
I will say this - I have softened over the last few days. I agree with second chance and when considering it he was kicked off Michigan's team and dropped in the draft. He was punished - it would be different if it happened after the draft.
So I am no longer 100% against the pick
I am still against putting the blame on her. I feel he escalated by this attempt to restrain especially being drunk I don't think it was very calming....
I also dislike the statements a by JS which I feel are more enabling than anything. I would much prefer statements that not everyone is perfect, zero tolerance going forward, volunteer at women shelter whatever
As for double standard all I am saying at least I wish people weren't so black and white. I respect those that say they don't care. I really dislike what I do feel is the victim here but that we disagree on - which is ok
