The NFL's Domestic Violence Double Standard

National Past Time — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 17:10:20 GMT

In my daily internet website roll, I noticed a link to an interesting article. This article claims that sports franchises look the other way in cases of domestic violence, but when other issues are raised they take a firm stand.

This article specifically addressed the Mike Vick dog fighting charges that the media is in a full blown frenzy about.

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/53331/

This article states

"Elizabeth G. Hines: It's not ok for Michael Vick to abuse his dogs, yet when athletes abuse their spouses and girlfriends, the press generally has looked the other way.

It was only last summer when Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers assaulted his wife in full view of onlookers, dragging her in the street by her hair and slapping her repeatedly. He was charged with assault and battery by a Boston court, but his employer, Major League Baseball, declined to level any punishment, saying, through a spokesman, "It was an off-field incident and it's the player's private life. We're going to let the legal system run its course." The league has no policy requiring suspension of players charged or convicted in domestic violence cases."

I do not disagree that professional sports franchises tend to look the other way when an athlete misbehaves. But I do disagree that the Meyers incident, or the Moon, and Jason Kidd incidents are worse than what Mike Vick is accused of doing. Yes I know, dogs are dogs, and people are people. I am not one to value the life of an animal over the life of a person. However here we are talking about a mass quantity of animals. These animals are treated with a mass amount of brutality, and eventually killed. Their entire life consists of torture and pain. Find me an athlete that has done that to a human, and I will show you some one who went to jail. Rae Carruth, OJ Simpson, ok ok, OJ is a bad example, but you get my point.

I am sure many disagree with me, feel free to use the comments link.

SHULA TAKES SHOT
Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula made his feelings known recently about the University of Alabama's decision to fire his son Mike. The younger Shula went 6-6 this season, was unable to beat rival Auburn during his four years there, but also never had the advantage of being at full strength. The Crimson Tide was on probation for earlier violations until this season ended.

"I think it's time to evaluate the evaluators," said the elder Shula, who won more games than anyone in NFL history while coaching 33 years with Baltimore and Miami. That was an obvious criticism of Alabama athletic director Mal Moore, who fired Mike Shula.

While that comment is obviously tinged with emotion, it's hard to argue with Shula. Moore was unable to hire anyone immediately after the decision and failed in his attempt to woo West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez. At this point, Moore will have to wait until the college bowls and NFL season are done. Moore has expressed interest in Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban, who has become somewhat close with the elder Shula since taking over in Miami.

Saban has said consistently that he will not leave the Dolphins. However, there was concern on his part recently about a story regarding a possible sale of the team by owner Wayne Huizenga to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., advertising exec Jordan Zimmerman. Huizenga and Zimmerman, who have extensive business ties, have both publicly denied the report. Still, Saban talked with Huizenga personally on the matter to gain reassurance about the future of the team and the owner told Saban that he wasn't selling.

At least not at this point. Huizenga has said numerous times that he will listen to any offers for the team and the stadium (which he also owns). The price for the entire operation is expected to be well north of $1 billion.
