I watched the TMZ video... I saw her aggressively slap at him, and finally charge him looking mighty bent on inflicting further pain.
His immediate reaction did not strike me as particularly over-the-top. It didnt really look like he was really trying to do a UFC highlight KO punch. It was mostly her slamming her head into his fist.
Now I'm not saying she deserved to be knocked out, I'm not saying he did nothing wrong either, but the real story here is that she accepted what happened and went on to marry him. She released a statement today still defending him and referring to a bad time that they had moved past. So while everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over their opinions on whether or not the action is justified, a husband and wife, both who have made mistakes, and reconciled and moved past it.
Then AFTER a media created $#@!storm, AFTER his court date, AFTER he went into a program to help him, AFTER she married him, AFTER the NFL punished him in accordance to the facts they had and then policy regarding the matter relating to his contract with them, their private business is being slammed through the news cycle a million times a second.
What is the real crime here? Who is actually getting screwed here?
Do we want to sit here and pretend like we all know exactly what we would have done if we were in his shoes? Do we want to pretend like we all have the ALL the facts? Do we just hate to see successful people do well, despite thier shortcomings?
Or do we want to question the absolute power of the media and their uncanny ability to control public opinion?
Where's the video of a plane hitting the Pentagon?
