Greg Hardy’s suspension reduced to 4

Greg Hardy’s suspension for his role in a domestic violence case was reduced from 10 games to four yesterday and his agent said the Dallas defensive end might not be finished fighting the punishment.

Arbitrator Harold Henderson, who heard Hardy’s appeal, upheld NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to suspend Hardy. But he said the length was “simply too much” since the league decided last year that suspensions in domestic cases would start at six games.

Drew Rosenhaus, Hardy’s agent, said he would discuss Henderson’s ruling with his client, lawyers and the NFL Players Association, adding that they were “still considering further legal action” through the courts.
