The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Chiefs moved swiftly in November to sever ties with running back Kareem Hunt, after a video debunked his claim to the team that he had no involvement in an altercation at a Cleveland hotel earlier that year. The Chiefs now have another situation with a star player, and the local newspaper has called for similar decisive action. The Editorial Board of the Kansas City Star calls for the Chiefs to release Hill, if it’s proven that he broke his three-year-old son’s arm.
Diehards Line:
Whether it can be proven that Hill broke his child’s arm is a different issue. His name isn’t listed on the incident report relating to the injury, but the incident occurred at his address. ... Remember: Hunt’s case turned on video. Without evidence that clear in Hill’s case, it may be impossible to conclusively prove anything. Even then, Hill's history of domestic violence is not going to be as easily overlooked as it has been. As PFT's Mike Florio summed up, "If nothing else, it could make the Chiefs wait for another year before making Hill the highest-paid receiver in the league."
