Banishing Kareem Hunt from the NFL forever doesn't do him, or anyone else, any good

Someone was always going to sign Kareem Hunt.

A year removed from leading the NFL in rushing as a rookie, Hunt is too big a talent, has too much on-the-field upside, for some NFL team not to take a chance on the troubled running back. So now what? Howl in outrage at the NFL’s continued disregard for women or express disgust that its only principle remains self-interest? Boycott the Cleveland Browns for the awful message they’re sending?

Or do we put them all on notice and demand they follow through on the lofty intentions the Browns expressed in announcing their signing of Hunt on Monday. Make sure Hunt uses this as an opportunity not only to turn his life around but also serve as a cautionary tale for other young men.

There really isn’t much choice.
