The National Football League announced on Friday that appeals officer Harold Henderson has upheld the suspension of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, instead deciding to reduce his suspension from 10 games to four.
Harold Henderson's decision on the Greg Hardy appeal is in. Suspension upheld…reduced from 10 to 4 games.

It’s an extremely interesting decision considering Hardy’s punishment was handed down under the guise of the league’s new domestic violence policy. In reality, he was the poster boy for discipline being handed down from the powers to be in New York City.
