There's also the possibility that the sports team they root for isn't run by total incompetents, actually did their due diligence, and made a decision after long internal discussion.

Remote as that possibility may be.

In what world is this a defensible decision given the climate of the NFL, court documents, and her documented injuries?

They wouldn't even address if they had contacted her or not, so I'm sure they did their due diligence because John Dorsey said "trust me."

If there was one time to speak voluminously about who you talked to and how systemically you approached the process, this is the one, but all the media/fans got in response was "Trust me. We did our due diligence."

Well how about you prove what that diligence was? I doubt that they'll be exposing intellectual property by saying who they talked to.

It was an arrogance that we haven't seen on display since the Pioli days.

The cost of getting field position for "short pass Pete" has gone up it seems.

Thinking you are "owed" more of an explanation than you have gotten is pretty arrogant.

Considering in the last 3 years these guys haven't shown any pattern of valuing performance over character you would think they would at least be given small amount of rope to work with here before basically calling them classless douche bags which is exactly the underlying message.

You and others here have for years bagged on this fan base for rooting for high character underdogs and the Chief's front office for not taking chances on talented risky players and sticking with safer lower talented "safe" players.

To be honest I haven't listened to a word John Dorsey has said. I just have a pretty good idea of the amount of money and time invested by all of these teams into researching players, so I'm comfortably certain that they would have gone into deep background on a guy like this before drafting him.

There's no doubt it's a questionable move from a PR perspective in the current climate, and domestic abuse is something that obviously needs to stop. That's never been in question from my perspective.

As I've said, I'm simply stating I don't know enough facts about the incident. But I do believe that the people involved in making this pick understand the climate as much as you and I do, and so I suspect that they must have a reason beyond simple talent for picking a guy with this particular red flag. But that's just an assumption on my part...

Getting caught with 38 grams of pot? Guy is more of a criminal than Hill because the law considers possession of more than an ounce a felony.

And beating someone is not assault, according to the law, cop. That's battery. But hey, you're stationed with upholding the law, so it's totally understandable if you don't understand.
Such a lame and superfluous jab taken at the end of this post. Even moreso since it's wrong.
