NFL - KC Chiefs waste no time firing player after video comes out
Chiefs release Kareem Hunt, say RB 'not truthful' about February incident
The Kansas City Chiefs have released star running back Kareem Hunt, a decision that came after video surfaced earlier Friday that showed him shoving and kicking a woman in February.
The team announced the move Friday night. Minutes earlier, the NFL had announced that Hunt, 23, had been put on the commissioner's exempt list.
In the video published by TMZ earlier Friday, the running back is seen shoving and kicking a woman at a Cleveland hotel where Hunt had an apartment. The incident had been previously reported by multiple outlets, but Friday was the first time the video was publicized.
Hunt and the woman trade words in a hallway and are separated by several people on multiple occasions, the video shows. Hunt pushes the woman, who responds by hitting him in the face. Two men escort Hunt down a hallway before he charges out, colliding with a man who then knocks the woman over. Hunt also kicks the woman in the leg.
Through body-cam footage obtained by TMZ, the woman and witnesses gave differing accounts of what escalated the incident. She told police that she wouldn't have sex with one of the men with Hunt, while one of the men said she called them the N-word after being asked to leave Hunt's hotel room.

the NFL is powerless to retrieve surveillance videos, that the hotel would only turn them over to police. No charges were filed so the police did not request it.
