No
No one should talk about this woman being at fault. It is not healthy
No gentleman should ever hit a woman. That’s it. If we’re talking about jack Bauer smacking a CIA operative because she’s threatening a mission, it’s jus different. She’s an operative first.
That’s not what this is
And the guy is either out of the NFL or the NFL harbors and promotes bad characters. That’s it. One or the other. Up to them. But this, ‘oh we didn’t know’ crap is not ok. They condone this guys behavior and then lie about it wanting their fans to pretend with them
Bad news all of them
The woman can just get financially punished as well, as the thing turns put
Her fault is getting involved with a thug, and defending him
She needs to take the financial consequences and get away from this thug If she doesn’t that’s her problem. It’s still a free country
