Kareem Hunt, star running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been cut from the team and suspended by the league after video surfaced of him “brutalizing” a woman. At least, “brutalizing” is the word that media has used. Actual footage of the altercation doesn’t seem to support that characterization.
The video shows Hunt and a few guys having an argument with a group of women in the hallway of a Cleveland hotel. There is no audio to go along with the visual, but you can tell that Hunt and the alleged victim are angry at each other. You can also tell that most of the people involved in the dispute are drunk. Hunt’s friends claim that the woman hurled a racial slur after being kicked out of Hunt’s room when he discovered that they they were 19-years-old, rather than 21. The women say they were kicked out because they refused the sexual advances of one of the men present. I’m not sure I believe either version of the story, but it doesn’t matter.
