Fox Sports’ Katie Nolan ripped the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL and defensive end Greg Hardy.

We often see articles about John Oliver or Jon Stewart eviscerating people on their shows, but Katie Nolan redefined that on her show this week while addressing Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy.

First she takes aim at Hardy’s comment about coming out “guns blazin” given his history of throwing his ex-girlfriend on a futon covered in assault rifles. Then she takes aim at the NFL for publishing his comments while trying to promote breast cancer awareness this month with pink ribbons everywhere.

“Greg Hardy had to pretend to respect women for 12 minutes — just 12 minutes — and he couldn’t even do that,” Nolan said, as transcribed by SB Nation. “And what’s worse: No one stopped him. They let him go on about girlfriends and guns, and posted video of it on DallasCowboys.com, because who f***ing cares, right? Women won’t see it. Women only care about football during those events they run where they tell them what to cook on game day and give them free manicures.”

She then turned her attention towards the media that seemed to only instigate it further and to let him get away with it. Particularly a reporter asking if Hardy found Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles’ significant other attractive after making inappropriate and insensitive comments about Tom Brady’s wife.

“Enough. Enough. I see this s*** in my timeline next to a story about Stedman Bailey being fined by the league for pretending to take a nap in the end zone and it’s just like — what are we f***ing doing? What matters to you? Seriously, what matters to you? Because expecting a garbage human who has been punished for being garbage to come back from his suspension and not immediately resume being garbage is asking the bare minimum,” Nolan said.

“And if me hoping that the league, and the Cowboys, and their PR people, and the media could act with just a shred of human decency is ruining football for you, then I’m disappointed, I guess, in how much we’re willing to accept in order to preserve our precious Sundays.”

Nolan said what needed to be said, and what everyone thinks to says to their friends behind closed door.
