Super gross.
Makes me embarrassed to be a Browns fan to root for him.
I'm sure I won't care on sundays in the fall when he's out there with the football, but good lord do I not want to root for him.
I understand the sentiment but I think this is also a conversation everyone needs to honestly have with themselves.
Is a human being redeemable? Or are there situations in life, like kicking a woman, where it simply doesn't matter if a person is sorry, remorseful, redeemable, committed to being a better person?
I feel a lot like you do but I also struggle with someone who is 22/23 doing something in a split second, after an untold amount of instigation, alcohol, drugs, whatever and then just having their life, purpose, everything just done, with no chance to ever prove they are truly sorry and able to live a different life.
I would hope the Browns got a commitment for many things from Hunt, first and foremost being community outreach. He should be required to seek counseling, rehab, etc. but also to speak publicly to youth in the Cleveland area about his situation, the lessons he's learned, the steps he's taking to try to prove to people he made an incredibly stupid and disgusting choice. He should also be doing the same with the media.....he should be forced to sweat out those uncomfortable engagements.
If the Browns just stuff him in the linen closet, allow him to play football and avoid the media spotlight, I will view this far less through the lens of giving someone a second chance and more through the lens of it being a cold, calculated football decision. The latter I would have far, far more problems with.
