Greg Hardy Briefly Changes Twitter Bio, Causes Social Media Stir

DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) - Embattled Cowboys player Greg Hardy has caused another social media storm.

On Wednesday, Hardy allegedly changed his twitter bio to the following message, "Innocent until proven guilty-lack of knowledge & information is just ignorance-the unjust/prejudicial treatment of diff categories of people is discrimination."

Reports say his bio was quickly changed within minutes.

Hardy was accused of choking and injuring his ex-girlfriend in 2014. All charges were later dismissed.

As for whether he had any remorse or regret over the accusations that led to 13 months without a regular-season game, Hardy said at the time that he was "sorry I couldn't be here for my teammates."

Even recently - the day after Deadspin released photos of injuries to Greg Hardy's ex-girlfriend, an apology popped up on Twitter from Hardy. It read, "Just had to say I express my regret 4 what happened in past and I'm Dedicated to being the best person & teammate that I can be but mostly I am Grateful 4 the opportunity to play in NFL#GodBlessHookyStreet"

Regardless of the problems Hardy has caused, the Cowboys have stood by their player and not strayed from the narrative that what he did was wrong, and in no way do they condone domestic violence.

At his daily press conference on Wednesday, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said that the issue of changing his bio on twitter was addressed with Hardy.
