That it's looking like maybe an inordinate amount of NFL players are also wife and girlfriend beaters is probably NOT a mere coincidence.


Is it? There have been a few in the news lately but the overwhelming majority of players have not been arrested for DV.

Would be interested to know how the percentage of NFL players arrested for it compared to the general population

When has a college football coach ever recruited and offered a scholarship to someone who they think can't play and help them win?

Please note that I said "...looking like maybe..."

I am inclined to believe that the NFL's overt reactions of late are due in some part to its knowledge that the problem is far more widespread than has thus far been reported, and they are scared that if more truth gets out they'll look like real assholes.

I could be wrong, though.

I think that is a very fair point that seems to get lost in transition. Domestic violence is a societal issue not a sports one.
