I don’t give a shit what the media thinks either.
But the truth is it would’ve been a PR nightmare that would still be going on. It would’ve been a huge distraction and with Pat right now that’s the last thing we want.
Some of you are seriously underestimating how ugly this could’ve gotten. Why do you underestimate the power of outrage? [Reply]

The NFL is going to be helping the Browns as much as possible next season.
A Mahomes-Mayfield rivalry would be a huge draw and would be the next Manning-Brady.
Throw in a pair of long-suffering fanbases and you have great storylines. [Reply]

So, will the Browns now experience a PR nightmare? [Reply]

No because people are retarded and a lot of them will see this as him getting a second chance while the Chiefs wouldn’t have been allowed to do that themselves.
I’m not saying outrage culture is rational by any means.
And also, the Browns don’t also have a Tyreek Hill on the roster so those people could claim that they’re a team full of women beaters and the owner/HC/front office are domestic violence apologists.
You don’t cut Hunt, it’s just a matter of time before that becomes the narrative and a PR nightmare is born [Reply]

I'd imagine they will for a little bit. But much like Tyreek, the criticism will fade over time if Hunt performs on the field and otherwise keeps out of trouble. [Reply]

Gotcha. Just a terrible "Because Chiefs" situation. [Reply]

Who on those teams did they keep that committed domestic violence?
I have no problem with the Chiefs keeping a drug addict like Josh Gordon or a fucking asshole on the field like Suh if they were going all in trying to win, but domestic violence is some real shit.
Who has committed domestic violence and went on to a Super Bowl?

Jesus, all of this is simply playing out in your head. [Reply]

Chiefs should never have simply just dropped him! They should have suspended him indefinitely, and waited to see how things played out. They could have at least received a draft pick for him, if he was given the ok to resume his career by the league, IF they thought a PR nightmare was more than they wanted to indure. Now, they simply got "0" in return. What a waste. [Reply]

No. Because:
1. Hunt wasn't on the Browns when the incident occurred.
2. The Browns don't have a star WR who beat up his pregnant girlfriend before joining the the Browns just prior to Hunt's arrival prior to Hunt's incident.
3. The Browns haven't gone out of their way to use their credibility capital on any other players like Hill, Hunt, Foster, Rice, etc etc etc.
4. The Browns haven't had another domestic violence/murder-suicide in the last decade.
The Chiefs are guilty of all of the above. Hence, they have more reason to be eviscerated in the court of public opinion.
No Chiefs fan is happy about this. But accept the reality of the situation. [Reply]
