In the wake of the leaked Kareem Hunt footage, many are questioning the thoroughness of investigations by the Chiefs and the NFL. According to one source who spoke with Kevin Van Valkenburg and Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com, the Chiefs were instructed to stand down on their fact-finding by the NFL, who insisted that the league office would handle the investigation.

The NFL’s protocol, according to the source, is for the league to handle such investigations. Of course, it’s fair to wonder if the security tape would have been discovered sooner had the Chiefs been directed to pursue it in tandem with the NFL. It’s also unclear whether the Chiefs’ hands were really tied in the matter – if they wanted to press the hotel for the video or further information, it’s unlikely that the league could have stopped them.
As Van Valkenburg and Rothstein note, the Hunt situation may be even messier for the NFL than the Ray Rice incident. The league built up its investigative arm after Rice’s assault to better handle serious off-the-field incidents, but that system clearly failed in the case of Hunt. Hunt, who is now unemployed, will have to answer for the disturbing February incident as well as two other allegations of violence in the last 13 months.
It’ll never stop until the nfl makes it stop which won’t happen bc then they’ll lose money.
The NFL, or any other organization, has ZERO ability to stop violence. To make it seem like there is anything the NFL COULD do to end violence against women, or anyone else, is disingenuous.
They could kick players out of the league. It won’t stop violence, you’re right. But attempt something for credibility.
They won’t have any players. Is anyone really surprised that those who excel at the highest level of a violent sport are violent individuals?
Hunt is just one of the the many NFL players that beat and abuse women. He just got caught. The NFL has zero standards.
good thing he doesn’t kneel for the anthem though
Should we really be expecting or asking the NFL to police it’s players? Maybe the police and the courts should be handling legal matters, and let the NFL stick to what happens on the field!
The NFL openly states they have former police, FBI, and military people on payroll. Yes, they should be held accountable for their employees.
As for off the field matters, Goodell & Brady nearly went to the Supreme Court over air pressure. They are always involved both on and off the field.
I would prefer the NFL stay out of courts and for situations like this allow the investigators to come to the conclusions rather than relying on the NFL. Once the NFL finds out from investigators, then take action. Hell, TMZ should contract w the NFL to investigate rather than the NFL. They seem to be better at it.
Also, these players are contractors and not employees. Minor difference, but a difference none the less.
I bet Y’all still be watching
Vegas taking bets on where hell land in 2018-19?
