Proving the whole controversy is media hype.
NFL players are actually less likely to beat their wives than the average American man.

People look for anything to be outraged and miserable over, just part of life.

Or the wives/girlfriends of NFL players are half as likely to report it in fear of losing that comfy life. Just throwing out the possibility.

Beat me to it. OP's premise is just dumb. Whether you're rich or not, women are looking for a cushy life. It's no surprise that wives and girlfriends of millionaires report abuse less often than those of Joe Blow.

The general population commits all crime at around 55% more frequently than pro players.

I don't know about all that but I can Guarantee that across the country, football players are getting nervous. Another case? This is like kids showing up molested by Michael Jackson

This makes me even more annoyed by the talking head I saw on CNN the other day, she was arguing that the Ray Rice and Adrian Pererson incidents are proof that the NFL needs to provide more and mandatory education about domestic abuse.
Really? Two guys out of hundreds and very different cases and what is that going to do. It's the same issue I have with the way some sexual harassment and prevention classes work. I'm of the thinking that no amount of education is going to stop a rapist or a abuser. You can't enlighten those people. A rapist or abuser isn't going to have a moment where they go "Welp, I never knew that was wrong, guess I'll never do that again."
The best we can hope to do is educate people on what to look for and ways to intervene to stop rapists and abusers, there's verily little hope for the offenders themselves. It seems like a lot of "education" is counterproductive, it scares people into thinking that rapists and abusers are everywhere and unfairly paints groups of people, usually men and in this case all NFL players, with a ridiculously large brush.

Three guys actually LINK
Not to mention Hardy and the guy from the 49ers. I think there has been 15 arrest for domestic abuse since the start of the 2013 season.
