The Dallas Cowboys welcomed back Greg Hardy, and dopey Cowboys fans forgot all about his abusive past when he started sacking Tom Brady.
This Sunday saw the return of Greg Hardy to the NFL after serving out his punishment for violently abusing a former girlfriend and threatening her with a bed full of loaded weapons. But that has all fallen to the wayside for some Cowboys fans, who have no problem chalking all that up to innocent ‘Dem boys will be boys’ as they root for him in his return.
Hardy started the game with a pair of sacks, and all violent domestic abuse was forgiven by fans who don’t understand why we can’t all just get over ourselves and let the past be the past.
Greg Hardy is the man

Will Nantz and Phil Simms spend as much suspension talk on Brady as they did Greg Hardy? #ProbablyNot

Greg Hardy is an animal. Straight filthy addition to the Cowboys defense.

Yeah! How dare we address something like this guy violently abusing women and threatening them with loaded weapons. What kind of a savage would want to make that part of the narrative of a guy like that returning to the most popular sport in North America?
Look, we knew there were going to be knuckle draggers high on a glue sniffing binge rolling out for this Greg hardy return. But it’s still digesting to see this guy championed for being a good football player and having that erase the things he did in the past.
It would be different if Hardy was at all apologetic about being a psycho who is a terrifying human being for women to be around. But he joked less than a few days go about how hot Tom Brady’s wife is and how she should bring her sister to the game. Not to mention he made gun puns — the dude who threw a woman on a bed full of loaded weapons.
As Katie Nolan nailed this week, Greg Hardy is a garage human being who can’t even pretend to respect women for 12 minutes — and it’s bringing out the worst in people who are valuing a game over their humanity.
