Kick Greg Hardy out of NFL after release of photos

Take a good look at the 48 photos Deadspin has put online of the battered and bruised body of Greg Hardy’s former girlfriend, Nicole Holder.

Almost 14 months to the day after we saw the Ray Rice video, we’re now looking at the Greg Hardy photos.

Hardy never should have been allowed back into the NFL after originally being found guilty by a North Carolina judge of various terrible acts of violence against Holder.

Let’s hope the release of these photos will do what the NFL could not do: punish Hardy as he should be punished, by losing his career for good.

Deadspin posts police photos of injuries suffered by Greg Hardy’s ex-girlfriend; Jerry Jones defends DE Hardy, then with the Carolina Panthers and now with the Cowboys, was found guilty of domestic violence and not allowed to play for all but one game of the 2014 season, but was still paid his $13.1 million salary.

As we all wonder why the league didn’t kick Hardy out for life then and there, consider what happened next: the NFL Players Association, representatives of which also saw several of the photos, actually fought Hardy’s 10-game suspension and successfully got it reduced to four games.
