The Kansas City Chiefs announced they were cutting Hunt on Friday, after video of the assault was published by TMZ. In the video, Hunt and the woman trade words in a hallway and are separated by several people on multiple occasions. Hunt pushes the woman, who responds by hitting him in the face. Two men escort Hunt down a hallway before he charges out, colliding with a man who then knocks the woman over. Hunt also kicks the woman in the leg.

The Chiefs said Hunt was not truthful in his discussions with the team about what happened, leading to the decision to part ways with him. Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that the NFL did not interview the woman in its investigation.

As in the Ray Rice incident, we have no idea what a “19-year-old” woman was even doing at 3:22AM in an Ohio hotel and later said to get this all started prior to what “TMZ Sports” posted online.

She clearly wasn’t there to sell Girl Scout cookies.

Again, this brings up the whole notion that a woman can say or do anything to a man without repercussions.

Remember the word we were all told to avoid when it comes to such occurrences and a woman goes too far: provoke.

As New England Patriots supporters, we are in no way fans or sympathizers of the Kansas City Chiefs or Kareem Hunt. We are well aware of the ramifications of the Chiefs losing one of their top two players going into the winter months and the possible effect on playoff seeding which will determine the possible climates the Chiefs may have to play through in January.

But if this happened last February, why are we just hearing about it now?

While it’s politically incorrect to question the motives of a “victim”, a reasonable person could rightly ask how you’d address your 19-year-old being in a hotel after three in the morning, what you could possibly have said to an NFL millionaire to so piss him off as to shove you away and why in the world you’d proceed to ramp it up with violence of your own?

Young professional athletes are warned what to look out for when it comes to the opposite sex.

When educating players about the evil that lurks in skirts, it’s important to teach humility, says Satch Sanders, who runs the NBA’s player programs (including a 4 1/2-day seminar similar to MLB’s). “I remind rookies of their physical, uh, prowess and the money they make. Then I say, ‘If you were not that attractive to ladies growing up, believe me, you didn’t turn into Denzel overnight. If two or three women are discerning enough to see your good points, fine. But 30 or 40? Can so many women be so perceptive?’” Of course, convincing a $10-million-a-year 22-year-old forward that he’s not quite as “all that” as the ladies say may be the biggest lost cause in history. Keeping pro ballers out of their own way — at least when it comes to the opposite sex — may just be a task for greater powers.

As the woman in the Kareem Hunt incident has not been questioned, we have no idea what she said and what she was doing at the hotel in the first place. The whole “a man should never hit a woman” becomes a convenient and necessary cover if the woman decides to go too far, especially when it can result in a significant payday.

Motivation and incentives are very important (see: Erica Kinsman).

Meanwhile, the complexion of the NFL seeding have been affected and not in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs. And as this incident happened and has been sat upon since February, who leaked this to TMZ Sports at a time when the cold weather/running game factor enters the NFL equation going into the last month of the season and playoffs? Taking running back Kareem Hunt out has serious implications for a moderate temperature-Kansas City team that may have to go to an arctic climate down the stretch.

The Chiefs have won just one playoff game in 24 years, and that was against Brian Hoyer. The Chiefs were the winningest team of the 1990s, and only made it as far as the AFC Championship Game once. Since 1990, no team has lost more playoff games while winning fewer.

Since the NFL playoffs expanded to the current format, teams with a first-round bye have won 74 percent of the division games. The Chiefs are 0-5 in that spot. Twice they’ve had homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and bupkis.
— Kansas City Star, 1/4/18

So, a very public verdict of Kareem Hunt’s guilt and punishment has been meted out to appease that flaky court of public opinion; many of whom couldn’t tell you what division the Chiefs are in.

As we first reported, the woman repeatedly told Cleveland PD officers who responded to the scene she wanted to press charges. In the bodycam video we posted, she asked to see the surveillance footage, and also asked the police to look at it. So, the question is … WHY has she gone silent? We’ve reached out to her several times, but no reply.
— TMZ Sports, 12/2/18

Hmm… is there audio with that surveillance video that might be inconvenient?

The so-called victim may eventually be lured into coming forward, receive fawning national attention, maybe cash-in with a GoFundMe, and exploit the potential for a huge settlement for doing absolutely nothing aside from looking for trouble at the wrong time and opening her big mouth at the right time.

NFL Still Clueless Involving Players Abusing Women

Obviously, NFL players aren’t defended as competently as Hollywood actors and certain politicians.

It makes one wonder if Kareem Hunt is a Republican. We all know if he’s a Democrat, he could assault a woman and even be elected attorney general.

Go figure.

UPDATE:

Like the Ray Rice incident, more was made over the publicly-distributed video than what precipitated the controversy because, according to PC rules, we’re NEVER to ask what the woman did to “provoke” and/or escalate tensions. It would appear the rush to judgment regarding Kareem Hunt may have resulted in a different outcome had ALL of the details been publicly put forth prior to the disciplinary actions of the Kansas City Chiefs and National Football League.

In interviews they would later give to police, as captured in police video and reports, Hunt and his friends say everyone in their group was getting along fine throughout the evening of Feb. 9. It was only when they got back to the hotel that things deteriorated.

“I only know those girls through a friend,” Rayshawn Watkins, Hunt’s teammate from Toledo, tells officers in the video. “They invited us to a club tonight. We got to the club, and they were overly drunk, as you can tell. But come to find out, they’re not even 21. They’re 19 years old. We were like, ‘Can you guys please leave us alone?’”

Watkins tells police Abby Ottinger, a 19-year-old Kent State student from Middleburg Heights, Ohio and her friend, Dominique Hamilton, got along fine with everyone throughout the evening, but that ended inside Hunt’s residence. According to Watkins’ account, Hunt said Ottinger and Hamilton couldn’t stay the night. Watkins says he offered $20 when they said they didn’t have enough money for an Uber ride home. “We’re college students, right?” Ottinger says.

The women somehow got themselves to Cleveland but it was going to be someone else’s responsibility to get them back to their residence.

Got it.

After he sent them into the hall, Ottinger began to scream and pound on the door, according to his account.

“They’re in the hallway, like standing by the elevator,” Watkins tells police. “I come out and I’m like, ‘You guys are being too loud. Please just leave us alone.’ She started freaking out, grabbing the back of my head. She broke my necklace. She tried calling me the N-word. She called us niggers and shit like that. We’re like, ‘There is no point of you to do that. We just want you to leave us alone.’ Then they started getting aggressive, hitting us.”

Ottinger could not be reached for comment by Outside the Lines.
— ESPN, 12/7/18

Why should she when the damage was done, she was prematurely pronounced the victim, and she gets to walk away?

The alleged victim in the February 2018 incident involving former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt initially wanted to press charges. Now, 19-year-old Abby Ottinger simply wants to be left alone.

A comprehensive review of the situation conducted by ESPN’s Outside The Lines included an effort to speak to Ottinger. A member of her family told ESPN on Wednesday that “the whole incident has been very difficult for her and that all she wants now is her privacy.”

Some league insiders have speculated that Hunt and Ottinger reached a settlement.
— Yahoo Sports, 12/7/18

At the end of the day, when it comes to these cleat-chasers, it’s all about getting paid one way or another.

Kareem Hunt has entered “anger management” training however no word if Abby Ottinger will be required to attend sensitivity training because some women get a pass no matter how far over the line they cross.

A grand jury has indicted star NFL running back Adrian Peterson on a felony charge of injury to a child, spurring the Montgomery County, Texas, Sheriff’s Office to issue a warrant for his arrest. Authorities didn’t divulge details Friday about what led to the charge. But Peterson’s lawyer said the “charged conduct involves using a switch to spank his son” — explaining that his client did so while doling out discipline “much like “he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas.”

The Minnesota Vikings came back a short time later to announce that its offensive catalyst has been deactivated for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.

Clearly, the liberal ninnies hate the “violent” nature of the NFL (I’d be very surprised if all-things-women advocate Kim Gandy can tell us the name of the team that plays in Charlotte), their media is running with fast and loose conclusions, dragging the domestic violence-thing out as long as it will elevate their deservedly poor ratings.

What’s most frustrating is the media selective outrage and hypocrisy.

This is Obama’s America. It’s like the Soviet Union. He said he’d change the country. He said it. He said it. He said it. And a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, punch them in the face.
— Andrea Tantaros, May 23, 2013

Wasn’t that the high-and-mighty Andrea Tantaros calling for violence?

I just mention this to set up the fact that Tantaros is very capable of saying stupid things, like telling people to do something she’d never have the guts to do herself. Granted, we all know she wasn’t serious but that didn’t stop her from saying more stupid shit.

Had any man today used Tantaros’ words we’d be talking extended mea culpas followed by suspension or worse. But when a woman’s big mouth is activated, we’re all supposed to look the other way. Ask Janay Rice how that works, and kudos for Greg Gutfeld interjecting that inconvenient truth called “facts”.

Black males experienced intimate partner violence at a rate about 62% higher than that of white males and about 22 times the rate of men of other races.
— American Bar Association

Maybe Tantaros should spend a little time on the World Star Hip Hop video site to see some Janays at their non-violent, “victim” finest.

Ray Rice lost his job over an off-the-field incident where no charges were filed, he was suspended by the team for two games until “TMZ Sports” strategically released another view of the elevator incident and was fired from the pussified Baltimore Ravens organization. I say “pussified” because Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is seemingly the only high profile sports personality to give a middle finger to the politically correct liberal media who seeks blood whenever anyone’s weak sensitivities have been bruised.

Atlanta Hawks majority owner Bruce Levenson had to sell his stake of the team after emails from 2012 were revealed that on the surface would send your average hypersensitive black into convulsions, but were inconveniently true and something any business owner should rightfully consider.

Now, every sports personality, male, female, active, retired, has something to bloviate when it comes to the male-on-female domestic violence pile-on. We never hear anything when it happens the other way around like that loud, violent woman in Hawaii.

And now Adrian Peterson has been taken off the field because he was disciplining his son.

When investigators questioned Peterson, they say he told them he regarded it as a normal spanking and not excessive. A grand jury seated earlier this summer decided not to charge him.

Wonder what changed their minds?

I was hesitant to look at this as a race issue but both Rice and Peterson’s cases were initially examined by the authorities and laid to rest, that is until the liberal media raised it to a double-jeopardy level that ended with black men being abnormally punished.

Imagine what this country would look like if there were more black fathers disciplining their sons? But no, now that’s a criminal offense.

Because we ARE (for the most part) talking about liberals, let’s see what happens when the next celebrity commits an act that pushes the buttons of the media royalty. If you impose the new “Rice Rule”, there had better be people fired and banned from their professions.

The next senator who lets a woman drown in his car should not be able to serve four more decades and receive a dignitary’s funeral. I don’t want to hear any excuses like “He (or she) was elected by the people and can’t be removed”. The next president who commits multiple acts of sexual harassment in a workplace (especially a federal workplace) should be removed immediately and not be left to serve out his term just because his wife could live with it. The next cable news host who settles his sexual harassment case out of court should be fired and banned from television because we all know women NEVER make this stuff up.

If you think about it, Tantaros was not only being truthful but she was showing us all just how little those overpaid big mouths on cable news think of their consumers. Whether it be self-righteous blowhards like Bill O’Reilly, Erin Burnett, Bill Maher, Al Sharpton, Eric Bolling, Nancy Grace, Carol “barf bag” Costello, Mark Levin, Andrea Mitchell, Harvey Levin and “TMZ Sports” as well as all the other originality-challenged talkers who’ve jumped on the bus Ray Rice was thrown under, they should be very careful because they’ve immortalized their over-dramatic opines thus they’ve set a standard they’ll be expected to live by.

Should they screw up, it will be very interesting to watch the contortions and whiny justifications they’ll perform to save their jobs, we’ll be as forgiving as they were, and they won’t like that a bit.

Oh, well.

Flashback: According to our tipster, word at the Revel early Saturday morning was that a woman — presumably fiancée Janay Palmer — had spit on Rice and that in retaliation, he uppercut her, knocking her completely unconscious.

Let’s hold off on the punch for just a second here… imagine the outrage from the politically correct-women’s studies left had Rice spat on Janay? He may as well have just given her the back of his hand, pulled her back by the hair; you know where I’m going with this. It would have been likened to rape, slavery, etc.

Now, how many times have you heard, prior to NFL Commissioner Goodell’s sentencing of Rice, of Palmer’s provocation (that’s right, I said it!).

I know of very few people who wouldn’t have a visceral response to being spat in the face and the liberal feminist supporters would have been on record defending such an action. But by the usual bias-by-omission, they were spared that inconvenience and Ray Rice was just a bad man punching out a poor, innocent, defenseless woman.

Again, remember the words of Whoopi and Chris….

Even more so than on campus, it’s open season on men. If you can spit on a man, what else can be done to him that can be gotten away with, first by the media not reporting it, but later when her actions are revealed, they are taken as irrelevant?

Why are we getting the clip in selective segments? The most recent clip made public doesn’t show Ray Rice cornering and slugging Janay. She was coming at him as he dropped her. We have NO IDEA what happened in that elevator but the activists don’t seem to think that matters.

And now, to make matters worse…

Video of Ray Rice’s attack on his then-fiancee apparently was the last straw for the Baltimore Ravens, who announced Monday afternoon they’ve terminated the embattled running back’s contract.

The gutless Baltimore Ravens have let the media dictate their football operations and the reality of the situation has now reached into the Rice household….

“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend,” Janay Rice wrote. “But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that [the] media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his [butt] of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific.

“THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don’t you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you’ve succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!”
— Janay Rice, Instagram

I’m looking forward to the next sanctimonious pundit, actor, or politician being “suspended indefinitely” the next time they commit violence on anyone, no matter what prompted it.

And the joke called “TMZ Sports” had better keep their noses clean because there are many that would love to see this hatchet organization take a big fall.
