Kelly: Two wrongs don’t add up to anyone being right in Tyreek Hill saga
Tyreek Hill is no longer a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The team released the wide receiver on Thursday, March 14, following his arrest on aggravated battery charges stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident involving his fiancé.
Hill was arrested in Overland Park, Kansas, on March 10 after police responded to a disturbance call at his home.
His fiancé, Crystal Espinal, told police that Hill choked her and punched her in the face and stomach.
Hill was booked into the Johnson County Jail and released on $10,000 bond.
The Chiefs released Hill the following day, saying in a statement that they were "deeply concerned" by the allegations against him.
Hill's release comes just weeks before the start of the NFL's free agency period.
He was set to become a free agent on March 18, and several teams were reportedly interested in signing him.
However, his arrest is likely to make teams less willing to sign him.
Hill is one of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers.
He led the league in receiving yards in 2016 and was named to the Pro Bowl in each of the past four seasons.
However, he has also had off-field issues in the past.
In 2015, he was charged with domestic battery and child abuse after allegedly punching and choking Espinal while she was pregnant.
Those charges were eventually dropped, but he was suspended by the NFL for three games.
Hill's latest arrest is a major setback for his career.
It is unclear whether he will be able to find a new team, and if he does, it is likely that he will face a lengthy suspension from the NFL.
The Tyreek Hill saga is a reminder that there are two sides to every story.
Hill has denied the allegations against him, and Espinal has recanted her statement to police.
It is possible that Hill is innocent of the charges against him.
However, it is also possible that he is guilty and that Espinal is simply afraid to testify against him.
The truth may never be known.
What is clear is that two wrongs don't add up to anyone being right.
Even if Hill is innocent of the charges against him, he has still made some poor decisions in his life.
He has been arrested multiple times, and he has a history of violence against women.
His actions have put his career in jeopardy, and they have also hurt the people around him.
Espinal has been a victim of domestic violence twice.
She is now living in fear for her safety and the safety of her children.
Hill's actions have had a devastating impact on her life.
It is important to remember that domestic violence is never okay.
