Actually, wife-beating isn’t as taboo as it used to be because..... minorities (and women) hit hardest.
Feminists are even keeping quieter about it. Rape as well.
In the Rice case the woman simply PROVED she was a Gold-digger when after her so called “abuse” she MARRIED her ABUSER!
Ergo, desperate, gold digging women with sexual power (some say control) over these beastial men should not be given a pass by the public and the media!
Notwithstanding ANY of the foregoing though, I am solidly in support of Harbaugh (sp) who allegedly told his team-mates that “if you hit a woman, I no longer support you being on the team”........or words to that effect.
