Don't know where to start but I will try.
1 - Yes people do care what happened to Monica.
2 - Yes people do care that innocent kids were raped.
3 - Many would not and could not be fired for hitting their wife.
4 - We don't know it is a lie.
5 - How is it battery or assault when she attacked him?
1 and 2: Of course people care. My comment was referring to the Goodell/NFL aspect of this, not the actual violence. Obviously the abuse got Sandusky in trouble, and is what was most troublesome. But that was handled in court, etc. The bigger tumult in the media was about Paterno, Penn State and their cover up. People are mad about Goodell's coverup and his (the League's) attempt at diminishing the crime.
3. Sure, your company may act differently than mine. The NFL has many policies in place, with suspensions that come down for both legal and criminal activities. There are numerous cases of domestic abuse that have received far lighter consequences than other (less violent) offenses.
4. I said, "is becoming clearer and clearer to be a lie." Between the AP report, the multiple reporters who consistently have reliable league sources (Peter King, Adam Schefter, Chris Mortenson, and more that I'm not remembering off the top of my head) who reported initially that it had been seen, and the law enforcement/casino officials rebuttal of the NFL's claims, it is as close as possible to be a proven lie.
5. That is sad to see, especially coming from someone who is always so level headed on this forum. Calling that an "attack" and turning his vicious reaction into some sort of self defense is somewhat delusional, and smacks of a predetermined opinion being confirmed no mater what the evidence shows. One of the saddest aspects domestic abuse is the victim blaming, to the point that it comes from by the victims themselves.
