FS1's Katie Nolan blasted the NFL and the Cowboys last night, saying it is "baffling" they would use inflammatory comments DE Greg Hardy made as part of posts on their websites. Hardy, who on Sunday will play his first game in more than a year after a domestic violence-related suspension, told reporters he was ready to come back “guns blazin.’” He also later referenced Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady’s wife. Katie Nolan wondered how the NFL could use those comments in a story “on the league’s official website, endorsing it with your precious shield, which I noticed has a pink ribbon on it this month because you care about women.” Nolan: “Greg Hardy had to pretend to respect women for 12 minutes -- just 12 minutes -- and he couldn’t even do that. What’s worse, no one stopped him. They let him go on girlfriends and guns and posted video about it on DallasCowboys.com, because who f***ing cares, right? Women won’t see it. Women only care about football during those events they run, where they tell them what to cook on gameday and give them free manicures.” Nolan continued, "Expecting a garbage human who has been punished for being garbage to come back from his suspension and not immediately resume being garbage is asking the bare minimum. And if me hoping that the league, and the Cowboys, and their PR people, and the media could act with just a shred of human decency is ruining football for you, then I’m disappointed I guess in how much we’re willing to accept to protect our precious Sundays” (“Garbage Time with Katie Nolan,” FS1, 10/7).
