Greg Hardy is also known as the Kraken. Some would say that this nickname comes from how aggressive he is on the football, but could also refer to his aggressive he is off the field. Last year, Greg Hardy was involved in an incident with his former girlfriend Nicole Holder. Hardy and Holder both had different stories to tell about the night, most of Hardy’s came from his 911 call while most of Holder’s was taken from her restraining order request. The incident occurred on May 13, 2014, and Hardy was about to be put on trial for domestic violence charges, but at the last minute, the charges were dropped against Hardy due to the fact that Miss Holder has not been making her appearances in court.
At the time, Hardy was playing for the Carolina Panthers and he was seen on the roster as “inactive”. When the season ended, Hardy became a free agent and then signed a 1-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys. In April 2015, Hardy was suspended 10 games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, relating to the domestic violence case. Hardy appealed the suspension in May and finally, the verdict has been released on Hardy’s suspension.
Hardy’s suspension is being reduced from 10 games to only 4 games. Hardy has discussed how he would appeal anything that was more than 2 games. Clearly, the first question that comes to mind is if Hardy will appeal again and if it is even worth his time to do it. With almost half of the arrests in the NFL due to domestic violence, it’s interesting to see what will happen with Hardy.
