There will be another report tonight on KCTV5 at 6PM on Tyreek Hill
“We will learn more tonight about other events in the recent history of Tyreek and Crystal. Including the previously unpublished incident that likely pushed authorities to remove their son.”

That's the fascinating thing about this...how much do you actually know about the private lives of the people doing the reporting? About players that haven't been caught? The Owners? Coaches?
Do you think when Ray Rice punched his wife...it was the first instance of abuse? People were wearing his jersey the week before...while he was hitting his wife in private. If it wasn't for an elevator camera..they still would be.
People want to BELIEVE that these players are all great people off the field...and would probably be appalled if they knew the truth.
If people are currently looking for the pinnacle of morality from football players....and as some beacon of guiding light they should start searching elsewhere. Today.
Quit living in some projected fantasy world....that these guys are angels and role models. They are humans...that play a violent sport for money.
Once you come to terms with this...you might start enjoying the sport again.

Behind closed doors several of these people who are "up in arms" likely do fucked up things themselves.
The NFL is a violent game lets not act like all those guys can just turn it off.

Well, football is a pretty different thing. I get that it's a competition and if you don't hire the best, somebody else will. To answer your question a different way... if I told him to stop drinking in my house on the job, and he swore up and down that he was going to AA and rehab, only to learn he was still sneaking drinks on the job.... If he had a history that led me to believe he couldn't finish the expensive job I contracted him for... I'd sure as hell second-guess, I don't care how great a job he does with roofs.
