And another one was arrested today: Jonathan Dwyer, Arizona Cardinals. He's been deactivated by the team. He has been charged with aggravated assault causing a fracture, aggravated assault involving a minor and two other charges. He admits to assaulting his wife but says no broken bones, twice: July 21 and July 22. It was reported to the cops on Sept. 11.

Maybe some good is coming from the publicity.

She obviously found the courage to report this incident after the RR news hit.

Sadly, I think there will be more.

I heard on a news broadcast that the percentage of NFL players involved in domestic violence against their partner or spouse is much lower than it is in society in general.

Now I see that as food for thought.

Those were likely old stats done when the abuse wasn't reported and/or covered up by the teams..

I have a feeling that's all going to change.

Agree. So much new info coming to light. How could anybody take that as a real statistic right now?

I guess if you want to consider a study done in 2013 "old stats", that is up to you. As for "wasn't reported and/or covered up"? This is another of those that want to "prove a negative", which cannot be done.

If you want to think NFL players do this more than those in the general public be my guest. When you find a way to prove a negative let me know will you?

It's 2014 nowand yes, those 2013 stats are out-dated.

I think you will find the incidents of cover up will come to light very soon. I'll leave it to you to hear it on your own

IMO if you don't believe there is a high rate in the general public you're in denial. Most cases never get charged. Most women won't press charges. I really hate that Gloria Allred has now gotten into this. Can't stand her. she's a media hog and is in it for herself.

hckynut.....i was listening to our local talk radio a couple of days ago and they had an ""expert"" on the show.......she said the exact same thing actually.

statistics....more pliable than silly putty.

And you can make both silly putty and statistics appear however you want them too.

One little word could change those stats..reported.
