I'm not a fan of people calling for Rice's and AP's heads....
48% of NFL player arrests for violent offenses come from domestic violence. Why aren't we calling for all their heads? 50% of women in the general public have reported being abused from a male partner - why aren't we calling for our coworkers to be fired? NFL players are humans with the same fundamental rights as everyone else. We have a justice system - which isn't perfect - but is the best method we have to adjudicate such matters and I don't think you should lose your job for domestic violence if an average person wouldn't.
AP was raised in such a way...he simply is disciplining his child the same way he was...Yeah, it's not how things are done nowadays, but he's simply doing what he thought was an effective way to discipline his child. Isn't teaching him other methods to do so a more effective way to deal with this situation than to call him a child abuser and call for his head? I think a ban, or even a long-term suspension from the NFL would be a ridiculous move by the NFL.
