Link: "DC Police Chief ready to tackle NFL's domestic violence problem" (NYGs??)

[JetUp81]

Pretty interesting read from this weekend, as I didn't realize the NFL was getting a new Senior VP of Security.  

I'm curious how it will affect the NFL in 2016, and any outstanding cases like the one here in NY with the Giants' and Josh Brown's current domestic violence debacle.  Any thoughts?

The interesting notes/comments that stood out to me were:

Quote

 

- After almost 10 years as chief, and 26 years with the Metropolitan Police Department, (Cathy) Lanier’s final day will be Sept. 16, and within days she will assume her new role as Senior Vice President of Security, overseeing all aspects of security for professional football.

- “Domestic violence and sexual assault are wrong. They are illegal. They are never acceptable and have no place in the NFL under any circumstances,” wrote Goodell, in letters to team owners and all NFL personnel.

- Lanier said NFL officials are aware of how any domestic violence or sexual assault cases potentially tarnish the entire league.  “That’s part of what they want to do,” said Lanier. “They want to make sure that that is not something that is harmful to the sport.”

The NFL finds itself embroiled in another domestic violence scandal as the 2016 season gets underway. The league is now being widely criticized for for its one-game suspension of New York Giants kicker Josh Brown for a May 2015 arrest.

At the time, Brown's wife told police the kicker had been violent with her more than 20 times prior to the arrest. Five days later, police set a protective order stating that Brown could not come within 500 feet of his wife. He reportedly violated that order two months later, leading to another arrest. Nevertheless, the NFL defended its decision to issue a one-game suspension by noting that Brown's wife didn't cooperate with the league's investigation and the lack of charges brought against the kicker by authorities.

The second arrest in July didn't seem to sway the league or the Giants, who re-signed Brown to a two-year, $4.75 million deal in April.

Lanier talks a tough game. When she was in DC the cops were plenty abusive. Sometimes it was difficult to tell what she had jurisdiction over due to the wide variety of police forces in that area. I do think that she will be harsh when it comes to domestic violence.

it is really hard for an NFL player to get away with that. Nor should they if found guilty. Sexual assault is also unfathomable. If a woman is not hot for you, leave her to find one that is. Not that hard a task.

Problem is a lot of NFL players prefer the crazy ones.  Not that we should be "victim-blaming" but athletes who play a violent game tend to be "thrill-seekers" and go after the girls who are a little more unpredictable. 

Just look at Brent Grimes' wife, for a good example.  Not sure if he's ever hit her, but she's a 100 % lunatic.

Interesting... but in this case:

- Josh Brown's wife called the cops TWENTY (20) TIMES on him.  

- He was suspended at Nebraska for domestic violence.

- He was finally arrested for domestic violence with his wife

- He was then arrested again for violated a court-ordered restraining order against the same lady

Oh for sure.  Brown is scum, no denying this.

The thing I don't like about this theory is what it says about the 99.9% of NFL players throughout history who've managed to never be accused of sexual and/or domestic assault.

It's really unfair to the non-criminals as well as the women.

My reading glasses slipped off my nose a bit and I thought I read 2016 was the number of NFL domestic abuse cases.  Sad I actually thought for a second it was possible
