Kareem Hunt could pound the rock but he also appears to have a tendency to pound women and the latter may have punctured the Super Bowl dreams of the Kansas City Chiefs.
In a stunning development for the AFC leaders, their star running back is now no longer a member of the team following gossip site TMZ’s release of an incendiary video that shows Hunt physically assaulting a woman at a Cleveland hotel earlier this year.
The Chiefs and their high-powered offense are now reeling after a vital cog who had already scored 14 total touchdowns is looking for a new job as the team wisely chose to avoid the insane media coverage that would have come from the organized cyberbullying campaign from the #MeToo banshees and their liberal enablers.
The team issued the following statement:

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell moved with lightning speed to nip what would have been another massive public relations debacle in the bud rather than have the #MeToo fanatics reigniting the culture war that has plagued the league for the last two years.
Shortly after the incriminating video of Hunt was unleashed by TMZ, Hunt ended up on the “Commissioner’s Exempt List” (more like Commissioner’s Shit List) which effectively ended his season, the championship dreams of long-suffering Chiefs fans and likely his NFL career.
THE VIDEO:
Via ESPN, “Chiefs release Kareem Hunt, say RB ‘not truthful’ about February incident”:
The Kansas City Chiefs have released star running back Kareem Hunt, a decision that came after video surfaced earlier Friday that showed him shoving and kicking a woman in February.
The team announced the move Friday night. Minutes earlier, the NFL had announced that Hunt, 23, had been put on the commissioner’s exempt list.
“Earlier this year, we were made aware of an incident involving running back Kareem Hunt,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “At that time, the National Football League and law enforcement initiated investigations into the issue. As part of our internal discussions with Kareem, several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions. The video released today confirms that fact. We are releasing Kareem immediately.”
NFL ratings had just began to come back after the disastrous Kaepernick-national anthem fiasco and the last thing that Goodell needed was a reminder of how tolerant that the league had been in the past when it came to woman abusing thugs.
As for Hunt, hey there’s always the XFL.
