Jason Witten Defends the Greg Hardy Signing

Some members of Cowboys nation do not approve of the Greg Hardy signing. One veteran member who has become an advocate against domestic violence is Jason Witten. Jason gave his opinion on the situation.

In case you have not seen the E60 presentation (seen below) on what Jason Witten had to deal with growing up. Jason Witten's father was abusive to Jason's mother. Jason's father abused alcohol and drugs. The police were constantly called to the house, so Jason has seen firsthand what an abusive relationship looks like. So if anybody should have an opinion on the Greg Hardy signing, it's him.

“I think more than anything I think everybody knows [I’m against] domestic violence,” Witten said per ESPN.com. “That’s unwavering. That’s something that I lived, my family lived. But that guy is a teammate of mine, so I think you have to look at it from that standpoint. As coach [Jason] Garrett says, it’s our job to invite those guys in and create a standard of how we do things. I think he’s done a great job since he’s been here. It’s not my job to decide who comes in. I’m a tight end.”

Witten, whose SCORE Foundation provides assistance to victims of domestic violence, said he’s seen good things from Hardy, especially when observing his work ethic.

“I’ve been really pleased how he’s approached it and how he goes to work and what kind of teammate he’s been,” Witten said. “The day he got suspended, the next day he’s in there working out, so I think that’s kind of the mentality he has, what kind of work ethic (he has) and what he’s trying to prove in Dallas.”
