The first tweet is vague, with no mention of the acts of domestic violence he was found to have perpetrated against his former girlfriend, Nicole Holder, before a technicality in North Caorlina law resulted in charges being dropped, nor an apology to Holder, though a few have interpreted the message as just that.
A judge later convicted Hardy for assault, but the charges were dismissed when Holder failed to appear for a second trial. He also received a 10-game suspension for violating the personal conduct policy in the Holder incident, but the suspension was reduced to four games on appeal.

“All that’s really left now is for the National Football League players, the players themselves, to set the standards”, Collinsworth said. “We as an organization take [this very] seriously”. Hardy said she was drunk and fell down, according to Rapoport. After the photos of Hardy’s ex-girlfriend released by Deadspin on Friday received a similar outcry, Rice said people shouldn’t need visuals to see domestic violence for what it is. Officially, Jason Licht told Rick Stroud that they “didn’t feel good about it”, but Pewter Report reported that the deal fell through because Hardy was using the Bucs to drive up the price with the Cowboys – successfully, apparently.

“Jerry Jones has made his choice”, Nix said.
“We entered into the agreement with Greg fully understanding that there would be scrutiny and criticism”, Jones’ statement continued.
“Yeah, you’d have to speak to them because you have to figure (it) out”, Bennett said.
