Kansas City Chiefs: Kareem Hunt allegedly in another altercation
By Chris Taylor
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has allegedly punched a man in the face at an Ohio resort, reports claim. No charges were filed.
The babyfaced running back of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kareem Hunt, allegedly punched a man in the face over the weekend via a report from TMZ. This is the second report of a physical altercation involving Hunt. The Kansas City Chiefs have not yet publicly addressed the situation.
The Kansas City Chiefs have done a fairly good job at keeping their players under control. The latest event should blow over since no police were involved and no charges are being filed.
The news of the situation places a small, dark cloud over the 2nd year running back. According to TMZ, Hunt was accused of pushing a woman back in February. The police were involved in this incident but no arrests were made.

The common denominator here is that with both incidents, Kareem Hunt had been partying pretty hard with friends.
It isn’t unusual for 22-year-olds to go out partying, but it is a bit unusual to continue to get into altercations with others. Maybe he’s a fighter, not a lover.
Perhaps he just can’t handle his alcohol.
Either way, a trend is occurring. Being innocent of either of these situations isn’t the issue here. The issue is being involved. I’m the last person on the face of this earth to tell someone how to act at the age of 22, but he has a career that is just getting started. A career that many of us would give our right leg for, or our left pinky finger.
Hunt led the league in 2017 as a rookie. He has one of the most promising careers ahead of him. It would be a shame to Manzel his way out of it.
Leave the aggression for on the field my man, and fix the impression of yourself off it.
Luckily, the man that was punched in the face just wants to move on with his life and won’t press charges. This technically leaves Hunt’s slate clean. This is the second such incident in five months, however, so things need to change before they get any more out of hand.

I am a fan of the man, but c’mon. My final bit of advice for Kareem Hunt, trade the hard liquor for a Zima and a Jolly Rancher, maybe that will help tone down your attitude when you start to get tipsy.
