IN THE post-Ray Rice world of the National Football League (NFL), there has been a clear stance in regards to players who commit domestic violence — you will never play in the league again.
However, this hasn’t been enforced. At the start of the season, then New York Giants kicker Josh Brown served his one-game suspension for domestic violence and was welcomed back to the team with open arms.
He was given a new two-year contract back in April, despite the team knowing he was arrested in May 2015 for the abuse.
