Nfl Domestic Abuse

As an avid sports fan I have been highly troubled by the recent headlines to plague the NFL in recent months. It seems as if every week a new player is being accused of domestic violence. In the past these accusations have seemingly gone unnoticed as the player gets punished behind the scenes and continues playing the game we love to watch. However, now as the league is taking the horrific issue of domestic violence far more seriously we are starting to see just how prevalent it is in the NFL. While this is a significant step in creating more awareness for the issues of domestic violence, Rex W. Huppke wants people to realize how prevalent domestic violence is not just in the NFL, but everywhere,

There are top ten reasons or causes why teenagers kill themselves. The first reason is mental disorders. These disordered leaves teenagers feeling like they are left alone in the world. Thinking that they do not fit in with any group and consider themselves to be outcast. There are different kinds of abuses that can lead to mental disorders. Drug and alcohol abuse can take control of a life quick like. It can lead them feeling defeated by the addictions they are facing.

Professional sports have been in the news for domestic violence for a really long time. Some that may come to your mind could be Ray Rice, Warren Moon, Greg Hardy, and Jose Reyes. Yes, three of these four players are in the National Football League (NFL), but that does not mean that only football players are the ones who have been doing this. The most recent one is Jose Reyes who plays in Major League Baseball (MLB). That is really ones opinion, but some don’t have anything but I slap on the wrist. Commissioners around these leagues usually suspend the player for a couple games until all of the details and videos come out. Ray Rice was suspended two games until they saw evidence then he was suspended for the whole year. Some wanted him banned

The spectator of this sport has an obligation to the players of the sport, to make sure that the organization is protecting and looking out for them. Yet not only should the viewer be held accountable for the lack of communication in consequences between the player and the pro scene, but the organization of the NFL needs to make sure that their players have a full understanding of what is going on and how they need to protect the players. The current situation that is understood, contents contain implied knowledge that all parties of this table are in uniform knowledge and agreement to what comes of playing football. Finally, this should also happen at the youth level when kids are just getting into the sport, as it would better inform the parents and the kid if they understood the full

Domestic violence is one of the most common crime among male athletes. The statistics are staggering. Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald – three standout NFL players who have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the last 12 months. The acts of the men, particularly Rice, who was caught on camera punching his then fiancée and now wife, Janay in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino, brought domestic violence and sexual assault into sharp focus, in particular how the NFL handles players who commit such dreadful acts (and yes, we can all agree that the justice systems responsible for these cases failed terribly).

“Despite its knowledge and controlling role in governing player conduct on and off the field, the NFL turned a blind eye to the risk and failed to warn and or impose safety regulations governing this well-recognized health and safety problem.” (“Lawsuit”).

The article continues with pointing out the fact that the NFL cannot altogether end the problem of domestic violence in the world today, but it can use the recent media attention to bring awareness to the problem. Although the ways in which the NFL handled these cases previously are questionable at best, there is potential to recover from previous mistakes by continuing to hold their athletes accountable and providing awareness on the subject.

After reading this post several times, the author made numerous points on why there should be way more research on how concussions and domestic violence in the NFL can be linked together. There has not been too much research of how the concussions and the domestic violence cases in the NFL can be connected to each other. But throughout the years, the NFL has a history of dodging and ignoring these domestic violence cases with their players. From the league doing this, it throws shade on the NFL and makes them look bad as whole. One other thing that NFL has been ignoring many years is the concussion situation and how it takes a huge toll on the players who suffer from the concussions. Also throughout the post, the author gives examples of cases

I would also recommend that the NFL consider how to support the athletes and families that have already affected through their suppression of imperative information. Perhaps, the league could financially support the health of athletes affected by NFL-induced mental disorders.

I chose to compare the NFL crisis regarding the Ray Rice domestic abuse. The major difference with the NFL crisis was the fact it was created by a single action versus a poor corporate decision. My crisis stemmed from poor planning which resulted in a failed campaign. However, if one measures failure based solely upon financial gain or loss we can clearly see that no negative outcome transpired as a result of this failure.

When the Ray Rice story broke, there was much discussion about what should be done by the NFL to punish him for his actions. He was ultimately suspended and cut from his team the Ravens. For the most part, perpetrators get a slap on the wrist. They may or may not be arrested. They may have to go to domestic violence classes. Law enforcement may or may not be empathetic towards the victim. Each state has its own set of consequences for perpetrators. In some states the victim can even be fired due to the domestic violence she or he is experiencing while the perpetrator remains unscathed. Perpetrators should be prosecuted. Perpetrators should have a consequence, not the victim. There should be a protocol followed by professional sports, law enforcement, prosecutors so that the seriousness of the offense is understood by all. A slap on the wrist is not enough to show the serious negative impacts domestic violence can have. And if our law enforcement and courts do not take it seriously, how can anyone else? This lack of consistency helps to foster the victim blaming mentality.

Domestic Violence has been a reoccurring thing for centuries all over the world. Child abuse and spousal abuse was largely overlooked and ignored by the justice system, mental health professional, and social science researchers until the later part of the 20th century. For the most part, police saw domestic violence against spouses as a “private matter” that should be dealt with between the spouses. Charges against the abuser would only occur if there were serious injury or death. During the early 1900’s many victims did not report the abuse because they were after they would be victimized further (Bala, 2008).

In the United States, there are about ten people who die from domestic violence every single day. The U.N identifies October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. What happens when ‘Home’ is not the safest place to be? Domestic abuse occurs across the world, in various cultures and affects society, irrespective of their economic status. Behaviors that are adopted by a person to control their partner in a relationship refers to domestic violence. Domestic violence against women particularly marital abuse in United States compared with India is what this paper is going to be based on in order to obtain notions from various perspectives. One must have thought of at least 3 women you know who have been abused. So would this be considered a global epidemic? Maybe yes, maybe no. Violence by a partner is common in the Indian society that women end up committing suicide (Mullender et al., 2000). The causes, types of domestic violence, the abuser and the after effects of such behavior will be analyzed with substantial evidence.
