I am of the opinion that Hunt’s odds as a productive member of society are higher with football than without it.
To suspend him 1 to 5 years wouldn’t accomplish anything helping him right the ship.
This all comes down to his actions or lack of actions going forward. Talk is cheap, as Dorsey said. Hopefully our organization has a plan to assist him, hopefully Hunt’s own plan to stay out of trouble is solid, and hopefully he can avoid the negativity of the bad apples in his circle.
We got a good risk/reward on a good football player, and he was that cheap for good reasons. Now the league will suspend him, and once he returns we go from there.
At the end of the day, what better path is there for the young man than what we is happening now? What? Bagging groceries? Drinking his life away? Visiting women’s shelters or donating them money? Nothing is ideal based on what he did, but this is a reasonable attempt at picking up the pieces.
If you can’t root for him, that’s fine, but I will root for him not to break rushing records, but to turn his life around, and I don’t think anyone should have to apologize for that.
