Counterpoint … it’s his football stardom that makes it a story to begin with. The same thing happened in Dallas a dozen times on the same day and it’s not being discussed nationally. Relevant to the facts in the case, no. Relevant to “news”, yes. NFL stardom in the news context is relevant because of stardom’s link to celebrity, not prowess.
We can await the facts, call this a bad event regardless of the facts, and condemn domestic violence all at the same time.
IMHO.
Prophylactics, before the replies: “Dozen” isn’t a crime statistic I have access to. I made it up. Further, the fact that domestic violence is not unusual doesn’t make it not terrible.
