In a stunning move Friday night, the Chiefs released second-year running back and last season’s NFL rushing champion Kareem Hunt in the wake of a TMZ video that surfaced earlier in the day. The video of a previously reported incident at a Cleveland hotel in February showed Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a hallway.
The team clearly stated intentions to sever ties with Hunt, writing in a statement that he will be released “immediately.” The abominable actions of Hunt on the video certainly should not be glossed over or disregarded in the grand scheme of the discourse.
