Chiefs cut their star RB Kareem Hunt after TMZ releases video of him shoving and kicking woman

The Kansas City Chiefs and NFL took their time. They waited more than five hours after TMZ released a video of Kareem Hunt shoving and later kicking a woman to say anything about the story everyone was talking about Friday.

When action finally came, it was swift. The Chiefs cut Hunt, who led the NFL in rushing yards last season.

Hunt was put on the commissioner exempt list by the NFL on Friday night. Shortly after the Chiefs released a statement, saying Hunt wasn’t truthful about the February incident, which was shown in the TMZ video. They said at the end of the statement they were cutting the second-year back.

Their explanation:

"The Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic. The Commissioner also has the authority to determine in advance whether a player's time on the Exempt List will be finite or will continue until the Commissioner deems the exemption should be lifted and the player returned to the Active List."
