The NFL is trying to keep Hardy's suspension at 10 games.
Roger Goodell has waived his right to hear Greg Hardy's appeal of his 10-game suspension, instead he has appointed an arbitrator. His choice, though, is not likely to sit well with Hardy or the NFLPA. Goodell has chosen Harold Henderson to hear the appeal, the same arbitrator who upheld the NFL's suspension of Adrian Peterson.
Why is that bad news for Dallas and Greg Hardy?
Henderson ruled in the Peterson case that the "new" domestic violence policy could apply to Peterson. FOX Sports explains:
The move is significant because Henderson, who is a league-appointed arbitrator, denied Peterson's appeal of his suspension back in December on the basis that Henderson believed the "new" domestic violence policy could be applied to Peterson.
