Domestic violence has been a big topic in the NFL since the day the commissioner, Roger Goodell, mishandled a couple of incidents.
A new case has come to light with New York Giants kicker Josh Brown. The veteran kicker has been placed on the commissioner’s exempt list and star rookie Eli Apple’s mother is furious.
“The comments made by John Mara, owner of the New York Giants, were insensitive, dismissive and callous. How are you a so-called champion of domestic violence but lack basic compassion for a victim? Yes, this man signs my son’s checks as I’ve been reminded on Twitter. Mr. Mara owns the New York Giants. He doesn’t own Annie Apple. Wrong is wrong. And Mr. Mara’s comments were unapologetically wrong and hit at a raw place. – Annie Apple, mother of CB Eli Apple”
