NFT: Hope Solo, domestic violence, and why is she still playing

Hammer : 9/19/2014 3:10 pm
I just saw this in the Washington Post.

What say you?
Huh? - ( New Window )
My first reaction - I didn't know they started filming

Then I remembered she plays soccer, right?

Right!
She should be suspended from the team

But US Soccer cares as much about what their players do off the field as the NFL does - meaning not at all, unless there's money to be lost for looking the other way. And it's probably going to be a long time before we get to that place where they will need to take it seriously.

of domestic violence are bad but the difference between a wife attacking her husband and a husband attacking his wife are night and day. Men can defend themselves, women cannot.

Not surprising that women's soccer faces a lower level

of scrutiny for domestic violence by its players compared to the NFL.
let's face it

Their is a double standard because shed a woman. Read some of basdbills beauties from last week. He believes the man is always wrong, women are only victims, and they never ever lie to give themselves leverage in a divorce/custody situation.

The NFL touches millions of people each day during the season through home viewership, fantasy football, ticket sales, commercials, and spots in all facets of media. It's the dominant sport for months.

Women's soccer touches...dozens of people.

Ray Rice was in the top third of what felt like every newscast for a week. I live in Rochester. I had absolutely no idea that there was a women's soccer game here yesterday. I barely remember Hope Solo's name. Her legal trouble has no chance of sticking in my brain - to say nothing of summoning the energy to become outraged by the double standard.

That's why she's playing. Too few people know or care.
Literally Dozens - ( New Window )

So if a woman is aggressive and violent towards a man and he defends himself and hurts the woman would you consider it domestic violence?
The NFL is dumb to be involving itself in this crap anyway

Ok, whatever. I'm not gonna engage the guy who says the only reason that people aren't clamoring for Hope Solo to be suspended is that she's a woman in a debate about sexism. Dipshit.

Anyway, leave Hope alone, it's a cultural thing.
She's married to Jerramy Stevens  
PaulBlakeTSU : 9/19/2014 3:56 pm : link
she should be institutionalized.

Also, her alleged fight with her sister and 17 year-old nephew are nothing like the domestic violences issues facing the NFL.

This is true. It's also true that it's far less common for a woman to beat up a man than the other way around.

Yes.

It happened to a guy that I worked with. I work at an at will company, so it may be more difficult in union shops and things of that nature, but my employer expects us to represent the company at all times.
I work for the state so I'm pretty sure I could join ISIS

Yeah. Guess you missed the Jodi Arias trial. And the wan who pushed her husband off a cliff. And women throw things. Sure in many cases a man is larger and more able to defend themselves but acting like women are incapable of culpability is just stupid. Lots of stupid with all this stuff. Women killing their kids and using violence is sadly not as uncommon as the general populace wants to believe.
Men are stronger then women so when a man hits
