A video of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has surfaced on Friday that reveals the Chiefs star in an altercation back in February. Unfortunately, the running back was sent home after details of the event unfolded.
I am told the Chiefs sent Kareem Hunt home from the facility today upon learning of the release of the video and pending further action. Most likely short-term resolution is that Hunt would be placed on the commissioner's exempt list pending a final decision, but we will see.

According to John Breech of CBS Sports, Hunt addressed the situation, “I've learned from it and I'm focused on football. Just be in the right place at the right time. I'm going to keep thinking about football and go out there and do my job.”
Supposedly the video picks up right after the woman in the video hit one of Hunt's friends, but that remains to be known for sure. All we do know is what the video shows, which is Hunt pushing numerous individuals in an irate manner. Hunt did not stop at that, as we can see Hunt kicking the girl at the end of the video as well.
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt spoke on the matter as well, “Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year.” Hunt added, “I'm sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won't be in those kind of situations in the future.”
Details of the incident have been revealed, however, as of right now they are simply speculative until proven otherwise. The video of the incident is disturbing, but the details revolving the incident are simply not bringing forth any further clarification.
Hunt's season may be in doubt now that the video has surfaced and has shown very unsettling footage. The commissioner may either take action this season or at some point before next pending any kind of further clarification on the situation.
