Witten: I’m against domestic violence, but Hardy is a teammate

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten says he can simultaneously oppose domestic violence and support teammate Greg Hardy, who missed 15 games last year and will miss another 10 games this year because of a domestic violence charge.

“I think more than anything I think everybody knows [I’m against] domestic violence,” Witten told Todd Archer of ESPN. “That’s unwavering. That’s something that I lived, my family lived. But that guy is a teammate of mine, so I think you have to look at it from that standpoint. As coach [Jason] Garrett says, it’s our job to invite those guys in and create a standard of how we do things.
