Stone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>September 4, 2014<\/p>\n<p>I have seen the terrible toll on victims of domestic violence as a volunteer at the Cooperative Restraining Order Clinic (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.probono.net\/sf\/volunteer\/item.Cooperative_Restraining_Order_Clinic_CROC\">CROC<\/a>), helping victims of domestic violence obtain restraining orders against their abusers.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150105111505\/http:\/\/www.ncadv.org\/files\/DomesticViolenceFactSheet%28National%29.pdf\">show<\/a>\u00a0that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and 1.3 million women are victims of assault by an intimate partner each year.\u00a0\u00a0This is simply intolerable.<\/p>\n<p>Research about whether male athletes are more likely than men in general to commit violence against women is inconclusive, but evidence exists that professional athletes are not\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170120164518\/http:\/\/harvardjsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/JSEL-Withers.pdf\">punished<\/a>\u00a0by their leagues, teams or the criminal justice system as harshly or as consistently as members of the general public.\u00a0 According to &#8220;The\u00a0San Diego Union-Tribune&#8221;\u00a0database\u00a0of the 32 NFL teams, 21 of them have this year had at least one player who has been charged with domestic violence or sexual assault. (Some were, of course, acquitted.) \u00a0It should be noted, however, from CROC&#8217;s experience, charges are sometimes withdrawn even when the accused is likely to be guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that women now make up almost half the NFL fan base. \u00a0More women watched the Super Bowl than the Oscars. \u00a0And the\u00a0NFL for four years has\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/adage.com\/article\/media\/nfl-sponsors-marie-claire-savvy-girl-s-guide-football\/243584\">targeted<\/a>\u00a0women to sell them licensed NFL apparel.\u00a0\u00a0That&#8217;s why the spotlight should shine on the alleged domestic violence by Ray McDonald, a San Francisco 49er defensive end who was arrested on August 31, 2014, for felony domestic violence against\u00a0his fiancee, who is 10 weeks pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL has finally instituted a policy of imposing a six-game suspension for the first offense of domestic violence, and if a second occurs, an indefinite ban on the employee or player. \u00a0The McDonald matter may be a test case for this new NFL policy on domestic violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL has finally instituted a policy of imposing a six-game suspension for the first offense of domestic violence, and if a second occurs, an indefinite ban on the employee or player.
