Players who have committed domestic violence or been accused of it will get second chances in this league, even if it's not as easily or accepted as it once was. But those who make life tougher on coaches or divide locker rooms still appear to have a much tougher time getting jobs. Hardy appears to be an example of that.
His involvement with domestic violence made Hardy less employable, but he still got a job — and a very well-paying one — after that. His insubordination made him unemployable in a market where his skills should be extremely valuable. We'd like to think that the domestic violence alone would ban him from the league, but that's not the case.
