This is a football team.
And the idea that Tyreek Hill doesn't fit in Dorsey's "family environment" lockerroom? Um, hello. What in the hell excludes this guy from being able to integrate into the lockerroom? A domestic assault? I guess I missed the part about men who commit domestic assault being unable to make friends?
This is exactly like when I was a kid and there was a huge shitstorm swirling around Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife and there was a huge faction of people that wanted him impeached. Or the Gary Hart thing. Same thing. I didn't get it. What did any of this have to do with being president. Even as a kid I understood how strange it was to be prying so deeply into somebody's private life. As long as private matters don't effect job performance, that's all that matters. That's true with presidents, that's true with plumbers, that's true with football players.
Quit acting like a bunch of gossiping girls. This is a football team. You shouldn't be so concerned with any of these guy's private lives, good or bad.

We're not talking about adultery. We're talking about domestic violence, which every single sports league is taking very seriously.
I'm sure there are lots of teams that will refuse to play for a dirty team. And that there are several players on the roster who play for KC because of the values they stand for. I'm sure they're not pleased with the team being in the news for being on the wrong side of domestic violence. I'm sure there are players on that roster who are disgusted by what he did and would want to beat the living shit out of him, but have to pull back because now he's a teammate. I'm sure there are some wives who will want no part of their husband associating with Hill.
I'm all for second chances. But it doesn't seem like the guy was even punished after the first chance so I'm not really sure why this is even called a second chance.
