However, in the middle of all the hoopla, another well-known athlete, who continues to play and remains as an active member of the roster, also has an upcoming trial for domestic abuse – but no one has said a word. With every press conference, the outrage grows. Accordingly, society has voiced its opinion about the recent domestic abuse allegations and demanded the NFL to impose internal punishments to those players who are facing legal accusations. The NFL is arguably one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the U.S., which puts the league under constant public scrutiny. The NFL has imposed sanctions on the players as some of them await legal ramifications, and the public outcry has been substantial and profound. At the forefront of most headlines is the National Football League (NFL) with Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and a slew of football players who have been “exposed” as domestic abusers. During the past few weeks, headlines have been filled with declarations, accusations, mea culpas, and the opinions of sports commentators, figures, and fans speaking out about the recent accusations of domestic violence against NFL players.
