Second I think the fan base of most teams are willing to move on and forgive given sometime. Unfortunately the team owning his contract does not have the time. The pressure is going to put them under the gun to act before next year. The next team waits a year and then says he has done x, y and z and moves on. Not sure this is any worse then AP. But not an audio of AP but everyone has moved on.

Most people watch the hunt and Mixon video and go "oof." The ray Rice video on the other hand.... made people cringe. It is unwatchable. The image in your brain of tyreek hitting a pregnant woman is worse than most actual videos of misbehavior. It's not that other people don't do horrible things. It's all optics. We don't have video of Michael Vick killing dogs either. Is that actually worse than a serial abuser of humans? Maybe not. But the image in the head of a man killing dogs is cringeworthy.
Even I fell for the trap. I saw him laughing, playing with his kid, and I was genuinely happy for him. Just a guy who got his priorities straight and would rather play fortnite than get drunk and party. He permanently erased all that goodwill and will never get that back. People now don't see an immature kid making a dumb mistake on a cringeworthy act, now they see a serial abuser with anger issues hitting a pregnant woman. Those optics are really really bad.
Yeah, I don't think he's done either. But many are downplaying how reluctant fans or owners are to take him. Even with his insane talent, he ain't going anywhere for a while.
