"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy has been convicted on two counts of domestic violence and is still playing. Ray McDonald of the San Francisco 49ers also remains active while he is being investigated for abuse allegations.
The Panthers and 49ers both say they are following the NFL's lead, waiting for the legal process to run its course. Neither team has provided details of its investigations.
The cases have similarities to that of Ray Rice, who was released this week by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the league after an explicit video surfaced of him hitting his then-fiancee.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press on condition anonymity that he sent a copy of the video to the league in April.
The NFL is under scrutiny for its wait-and-see approach in domestic violence cases like Hardy's."
202 years ago this week, First Lady Dolly Madison saved the famous portrait of George Washington from the White House during the War of 1812. If it happened today, Obama would probably save his golf clubs!~~FB comment
