Kansas City Chiefs Release Star Player After Video Emerges Of Him Attacking A Woman

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their “star running back” Kareem Hunt following the release of a video, showing Hunt attacking a woman in a hotel earlier this year.

In the video, Hunt is seen arguing with a 19-year-old woman outside of his room at The Metropolitan at the 9 at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018.

Hunt turns a corner and confronts the woman, shoving her hard. The woman strikes him back in the face … and that’s when Hunt goes berserk.

Police were called to the scene, but nothing major happened. No arrests were made, and Hunt ultimately went on his merry way, not missing a SINGLE NFL game all season.

The NFL has taken action…

The NFL just announced Hunt’s been placed on the commissioner exempt list and will NOT practice, play or attend games. The NFL added, “The NFL’s investigation, which began immediately following the incident in February, will include a review of the new information that was made public today.”

…as well as the Chiefs:

The Chiefs have cut Kareem Hunt, and say he lied to the team when they spoke directly to him about the incident.

The team says when the NFL and Cleveland PD launched their investigations the team called in Hunt and “several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions. The video released today confirms that fact.”

6 hours, 11 minutes: Time from when TMZ published the Kareem Hunt video to when the Chiefs announced he was released.

Hunt has apologized.

“I want to apologize for my actions. I deeply regret what I did. I hope to move on from this.”

Yeaaaaaaaaah. I really don’t see that happening…
