Roger Staubach says he would not want a Woman Abuser as a teammate

Cowboys legendary quarterback says he would not want to be teammates with Greg Hardy

Dallas Cowboys legendary quarterback Roger Staubach said on KTCK-AM says he is happy the Dallas Cowboys have been so active in the domestic violence efforts, and admires the way Cowboys Executive Vice President Charlotte Jones Anderson has taken a leadership role in the NFL’s efforts on domestic violence, but he still has a problem with one signing by the team. 

“Well, it depends on getting a chance to understand the red flags . . . like the Hardy situation,” Staubach said. “Charlotte Jones is fantastic. She’s involved with the NFL on the committees. I think she had a hand in trying to understand that this guy deserves a second chance.I don’t have any tolerance toward domestic violence. If I was making the decision, it probably wouldn’t have been good for the Cowboys.”

Staubach even said he would not want to be on the team with an abuser like Hardy, OUCH.

“I wouldn’t really enjoy being in the locker room with someone I knew was a domestic violence person. That’s how I feel,” Staubach said. “Today you know more about the personal lives of players. Back in the old days, there were some issues. But we never really had a domestic violence, smoking marijuana or . . . I’m sure it happened though, we just didn’t know about it. I would have really had a hard time with a teammate that you look at as a courageous, tough guy on the football field . . . to abuse a women in any shape or form, there’s just no excuse for it.”
