Found this from Jason la Confora in December:
I just hate the lazy reporting that its domestic violence or he is a woman hitter. Its like they watched a different video than me and looked nothing up.
I think the guy is a borderline alcoholic with anger issues, which is why that's the counseling he is getting. I hope for his sake he is sincere, he has a great future ahead of him still if he takes this seriously.
That information was absolutely, positively swept under a rug in favor of the narrative that Hunt isn't being remorseful.
It's a catch-22. I've heard a few people asking for "receipts" about what he's doing. I bet those same folks would be saying it's all contrived if he let you know about it loudly.
I really would rather we had just not dirtied our hands with this, but I’m not going to freak out. If Hunt can move forward and do good things for himself, the community, and the Browns, a lot of good can come of it. Dude just needs to get his anger and alcohol issues under control at all costs.
In the same way Josh Gordon could have been an incredible athlete had he been able to keep his own demons out? (HOF-level talent....) I believe that Kareem Hunt is being presented a similar opportunity.
A top 3-4 RB in the league just happened to land with a team that is looking to go on an upswing. A team that is just now starting to become media darlings with a QB that should have been ROTY.
I just wish we were not ones making this gamble. Feels like we're still far too young to risk this backfiring.
Ball is in his court though. If the guy wants to go Lawrence Phillips and waste every ones time? I imagine Dorsey won't hesitate to get rid of him.
Not necessarily. That could just as easily be due to Hunt not wanting to have a full blown #redemption campaign, something I think a lot people would rightfully feel would be a little tasteless.
Mary Kay Cabot said:A devout Catholic, Dorsey believes in redemption and second chances. He believes he can look into the eyes of a player and see his soul. The many times he’s looked into Hunt’s eyes since he began to scout him in 2016 for the Chiefs, he’s seen a good man and not the one who was captured on video almost a year ago shoving and kicking a woman in a hallway at the Metropolitan at The 9 in downtown Cleveland.
Exactly how I feel. I'll add that I hope they have a much shorter leash with Hunt than Gordon.I really would rather we had just not dirtied our hands with this, but I’m not going to freak out.

As predicted, no appeal. It would've been a terrible look to appeal and I'm sure the Browns and his own PR team advised against it.
