Greg Hardy, former Carolina Panther and current Dallas Cowboy, has brought up a lot of controversy this past week. Back in the month of May, 2014, Hardy had severely beaten and threat to kill his ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder. Holder was pressing charges on Hardy until Hardy paid her off and the charges were dropped. This past week, pictures of Hardy's ex-girlfriend, bruised and beaten, had emerged. Although the charges took place more than a year ago, the pictures have sparked up the controversy. Hardy had only ever received a 10 game suspension of the 2015 NFL season, which was then reduced to 4 games after an appeal. 
The NFL seems to be refusing to ban Hardy for life. They act as if what he did is not horrific and terrible but a freak accident or something that can be overlooked. The fact that this man is still playing football and not in prison is a question that can not be responded with a solid answer. Its hard to understand the difference between Ray Rice and Greg Hardy's cases. They were both charged with domestic violence but only Hardy is playing football. I think that if Greg Hardy is to continue playing football the Dallas Cowboys should make him go through therapy. They need to teach not only him, but the NFL fan base that what he did is unacceptable. It would also make a good example out of him. Not only would going through therapy be embarrassing and humiliating, but it could teach him how to be a good boyfriend, future husband, and future father. Most likely, a kid will be being raised by him one day and I don't think he is fit for that as of now. Domestic violence is not something that should be messed around with and should be taken a whole lot more serious.
