Did He Really Say That

I know that I’m a bit behind on this story because I haven’t been able to write, but I want to go back and address Terry Bradshaw’s comments from last week about Greg Hardy of the Dallas Cowboys and his comments that he made about wanting to come out Guns Abalazing in his first game of the season following suspension.

If you don’t know his story, I will not go detail for detail, rather a brief overview and you can read the rest for yourself. When Hardy was a Carolina Panther, he had a domestic abuse charge leveled against him by his ex-girlfriend. She says he got very physical with her and had lots of guns and threw her on top of them. He says that wasn’t the case and was initially found guilty. He appealed for a trial by judge and was found not guilty afterwards, but it was determined that he did something wrong in that case.

The league suspended him 10 games, the appeal reduced it to 4 games and last Sunday was his first game back. Bradshaw, on his Sunday morning football pregame show says that the league should have a policy that would have completely removed Hardy from the league and thinks his comments were disgusting. Now, I have to wonder why all of a sudden this extreme sensitivity is being bandied about in regards to the comments Guns Ablazing, when in Nascar and other sports you hear athletes use that terminology often.

I’m guessing because he had this case out there against him for potential weapons use people think that somehow he doesn’t have the right to use colorful language when he speaks. I think that Bradshaw is an ass and those who were all up in arms in agreement need to seriously look at themselves and stop the holier than thou business.

Let me be clear, I do not support, condone nor have a large tolerance for domestic violence. Whether its man on woman, woman on man, man on man or woman on woman. It has no place and isn’t very respectful at all. What pisses me off is that all these folks in society think that just because someone made a mistake in the past that they somehow don’t have the right to continue to be themselves and make amends for their past transgressions.

God forbid that Bradshaw, who had problems in his life and others make a mistake with their words and people want to vilify them. I bet they would want to be given that grace upon the throne with which they try to sit and ask for them to be allowed to grow and develop, but to also be themselves.

Hey Terry, you’re still making mistakes so next time you want to be righteous, take a look in the mirror and then let me know ok. Mr. Hardy, just be careful and go do what you do my friend. But real talk keep your hands off people, you don’t have that right either.

Just this guys take.
