NFL reduces Greg Hardy's suspension from 10 to four games



The NFL has reduced Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy's suspension from 10 games to four, the league announced Friday.
Hardy, who signed with the Cowboys this offseason, was originally suspended 10 games due to an arrest on domestic-abuse charges. A two-month investigation by the NFL "determined that there was sufficient credible evidence that Hardy engaged in conduct that violated NFL policies in multiple respects and with aggravating circumstances."
And now, six weeks later, Harold Henderson, who was appointed by Roger Goodell to hear Hardy's appeal, has reduced it to four games. Henderson, a former NFL labor executive, also heard Adrian Peterson's appeal of his suspension. The NFLPA originally objected to Henderson's appointment because he wasn't deemed a neutral or independent arbitrator. It's why some observers were surprised by Friday's news.
