[From article]
The Carolina Panthers have kicked Greg Hardy, one of their biggest stars, off their roster - but only two months after he was convicted of strangling and threatening to kill his girlfriend in May.
Team officials did not comment on the decision to deactivate 25-year-old Hardy - but it comes days after the release of video showing Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice brutally punching his wife in the face.
Hardy has not been disciplined by the NFL. He played in last week's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and recorded one sack and three tackles.
Hardy was convicted of assaulting Nicki Holder in a bench trial by a judge in Charlotte on July 16. He has appealed the ruling and is still awaiting a jury trial, which he is allowed under North Carolina law.
