Kareem Hunt: 5 Things To Know About KC Chiefs Player Caught Attacking Woman In Video


READ MORE

Kansas City Chiefs’ star running back Kareem Hunt is in big trouble after video surfaced of him attacking and kicking a woman. We’ve got five things to know about the NFL star.


Kareem Hunt might have just sunk his team’s chances at a 2019 Super Bowl bid, but he brought it all on himself. The second-year star running back was caught on video violently attacking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February of 2018. TMZ reported the incident at the time, but now they’ve obtained the surveillance footage. It shows him shoving a woman, who then hits him in the face. Instead of diffusing the situation, the 23-year-old Pro Bowler is seen pushing her down and kicking her. The site reported on the incident shortly after it happened and the Chiefs did not take any action against him, and he’s played in every game so far in 2018. We’ve got five things to know about Kareem.



1. Kareem was the NFL’s top rusher in the 2017 season. 


As a rookie, Kareem rushed for 1,327 yards and earned himself a Pro Bowl selection. He’s proven to be a standout again with 824 yards so far this season helping the Chiefs to a current 9-2 record. For his 91 yards including a 50 yard touchdown in a win against the Cleveland Browns in week nine this season, Kareem was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.


2. Kareem’s incident was known to the Chiefs organization in Feburary but he received no punishment. 


During training camp Kareem told reporters that coach Andy Reid‘s message to him following the off-season altercation was “Just move forward and focus on football,” Kareem said the Chiefs coach told him. He then said “I’ve learned from it and I’m focused on football.”


3. Kareem is getting scolded hard by former Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, who had a violent past. 


Larry was arrested four times since 2003 while an active NFL player for assaults on women. He tweeted to Kareem following the video release, “I thought I made my mistakes painfully clear!!!! I thought I was a perfect example of what NOT to do!!!! “I thought by speaking aloud about my pitfalls that players after me could see these situations before they’d happen. REALLY F**KING UPSET KAREEM.”


4. Kareem allegedly punched a man in the face in June. 


In another TMZ report, the star rushing back allegedly hit a man in the face at the Bay Lodging Resort in Put-in-Bay, Ohio. No arrests were made as the the man declined to press charges.


5. Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt did not punish Kareem for either alleged incident and explained it away as him being a “young man” who “learned some lessons.”


“The team’s made up of a bunch of young men,” Clark told reporters in August. “They’re not always going to make the best decisions, but we have a strong support system, both with the coaching staff and also with our player development department that works with young guys and talks to them about the situations that they want to be in. Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year. I’m sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won’t be in those kind of situations in the future.”

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
