After a two-month investigation into the domestic violence case against Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, the league has levied a ten-game suspension against the sixth-year veteran. The suspension is without pay and will most likely bar Hardy from playing for Dallas until their Week Twelve matchup against his old team, the Carolina Panthers.
Hardy has three days to appeal the decision and it is expected he will. Back in May of 2014, the then Panthers’ defensive end was arrested and charged with assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder. Two months later, a judge found Hardy guilty of those crimes and sentenced him to 18 months probation after suspending a 60-day jail sentence.
