Hornets Jeff Taylor arrested on DV charges

Good thing he's not in the NFL!

 

Stupid is as stupid does. He's about to get the hook.

 

What's up with all of these athletes getting arrested for domestic violence all of a sudden?

 

Keep y'all hands off your wife.

 

Dude its always been this way-probably worse.

Social media and the Ray Rice video really put it front and center.

 

Domestic violence has always been around. Jason Kidd has struck his wife many times. He is probably one of the sleaziest athletes in professional sports. This topic just wasn't front and center until the Ray Rice video, publicity, and scandal of a cover up.

 

I just wonder how the NBA handles this.

Sucks cause he could really help this season, IDK there has to be more to the story, ill just wait for more info to come out

 

don't condemn the man til the facts are in...

IF it is worthy of condemnation - we can fry him THEN...

 

Wow, I actually like his game but if he is that type of person then so long!

 

Jeff Tayloer should be a lottery pick (in jail)

 

This may come off as insensitive, but I have a feeling that if this happens in 3 years, he'd get a minor suspension and that would be that. But he got arrested at the wrong time so the NBA probably throws the book at him.

Wrong. Jason Kidd got his ass beat by his wife.

 

Was it wrong of me that at first I thought it said Jeff Hornacek?

 

Same here.

 

"ermehgod guys, but domestic violence isn't anything new.. so we can't punish them for it because it's been happening now"

The NBA has an umbrella policy that has been around but it comes under felony and only if you're convicted, please guilty/no contest -- automatic 10 game suspension.

The NBA normally waits for the final outcome before handing out the suspension.

It's an old policy and I thought on NBA.com they recently said because of all the stuff going on in the NFL they were going to revisit that policy.

This is not exclusive to just athletes -- it's all around us everyday in our communities.

 

Nothing can reverse what he did, but props to Jeffrey Taylor for owning up to what happened, not making excuses and taking his punishment "like a man". I wish him the very best getting his life together and hopefully succeeding in the NBA at some point.
