If Tyreek Hill was a model citizen he wouldn't be a Chief ... he would have been a top 10 pick in the 2016 draft. I am surprised the Chiefs got 3 good years out of him before something blew up. Time to move on. It was going to happen at some point.

I'm telling you, there's no justification for hitting a kid. There is nothing to be learned from it.
The cognitive dissonance of believing your parents love you while knowing they mistreated you is fucking hard to deal with.
The thing is, they probably did love you. But that doesn't mean they didn't mistreat you. Being able to acknowledge that fact is when the real personal growth begins. But it's a tough fucking process.
I really hope Tyreek's kid gets set up with a great therapist who knows how to handle early childhood trauma. He's going to need it.
Just curious - when you say "hitting a kid" do you include any form of spanking?

He would probably ask you what it would take to use a belt, and when you said nothing would make you, he would be as appalled that you wouldn’t use a belt that many people are that he does use a belt.
Using a belt for discipline isn’t like some evolutionary instinct we have to suppress. He learned it growing up, probably thinks it helped him given his career success, and sees no issue with using it on his kid but instead truly thinks it is a positive method of discipline. The problem is the person he had a kid with likely wasn’t a positive enforcement on encouraging him to change or may even agree with those tactics. Getting him to change his views on it would be very difficult as he would just point to the successful results of his own upbringing. Of course that doesn’t mean the attempts shouldn’t be made.

It's not fucking fair.
Hunt had known anger issues before the draft. Thats why he dropped. The Chiefs thought they could fix him. They were wrong,
Hill had known issues with anger. Serious violence. The Chiefs knew and did the rest of the NFL. Thats why he dropped to to us in the 5th. The Chiefs thought they could fix him. They were wrong,
Clark had issues with violence before the draft. The Chiefs trade for him. give him a ton of money. Will history repeat itself.

Did their homework this time. Feel very comfortable that's all in his past.

You're missing the point. The kid was 3 fucking years old. What could a 3 year old possibly do to warrant that?
