I’m going to express a contrarian view.
First I’ll be compelled to say that I have never hit anybody. I’ve been hit more than a half-dozen times. I am pretty much a pacifist, and turn the other cheek kind of guy.
That said — we pay people money and turn on our TV to watch as two men beat each other often until one has blacked out. The excuse is, they both understand the arrangement, and are willing to risk being knocked out for the benefits they receive — in this case, getting paid money.
So, why is it unacceptable that a woman, OR a man, might CHOOSE to get hit sometime, for the benefit of a relationship? I mean, I wouldn’t call that a relationship, but who am I to judge? That woman, having been married to a star football player, was essentially making millions of dollars. I bet she got more money for that punch than the typical UFC fighter.
Now, if she filed charges, I’d be right there calling for him to go to jail. Even though it looks like she hit him first, and was actually running back at him when he hit her.
But she didn’t file charges, she didn’t ask for him to be punished, she MARRIED him.
Now she’s screwed, because the guy she got married to, and has a kid by, just went from being a millionaire to being an unemployed and possibly unemployable drain. She is being punished as much as he is. Does that make any sense?
I’ll say one more thing — if you fired every player in the league who ever punched out another person in anger, I bet you’d lose HALF the league.
Of course, I know that they would care less if some guy punched him in an elevator and he responded by putting the guy’s light’s out. And that this is all about keeping the feminists from sending the politicians after the NFL’s sweetheart deals with various governments.
That argument is wrong on so many levels. Where to start?

I read that he gets to keep his $25 million. Of course, we know where he’ll be in a few years.
She is an enabler. She is as sick as he is!
