[QUOTE="donna723, post: 634587, member: 1883"] If these players don't have a morals clause in their contracts, they should have! Anyone who has been convicted of a violent crime has no business playing professional sports! Domestic violence is a CRIME, a very violent crime! And you know that this was no isolated incident with him. He didn't even claim that it was. He didn't just snap that one day and haul off and knock her out for the very first time. He is probably physically abusive to her all the time and she's used to it. Actually it is not at all unusual for domestic violence victims to excuse their abuser, to refuse to press charges, to remain in the abusive relationship, even to take the blame themselves. That's all part of it. It's hard to understand if you've never been through it yourself, but after years of being told that it's all [I]your[/I] fault, that your actions caused him to do it, you actually start to believe it. I did. You actually start wondering what you are doing wrong to make him treat you so badly! After a while in a relationship like that, you have no self confidence left, no self esteem, you feel worthless. And the question, "Why does she stay?" has as many answers as there are women. He may have threatened to harm her or her family if she leaves or threatened to take her children away. She may rely on him for financial support and feels like she will never succeed on her own. And she's very afraid of him! Statistically, the most dangerous time for an abused woman is when she leaves! None of her behavior surprises me at all. And he is a disgusting piece of garbage! He should never again be able to be the highly paid sports hero who is supposed to be a role model for children! And incidentally, if there is enough physical evidence of an assault, physical injuries, or in this case having the whole thing on videotape, the police can file charges on him, whether she wants them to or not, whether she files charges herself or not. It's out of her hands. Good! [/QUOTE]
